Have heard people saaying the same thing from the Glasgow show tonight. Maybe it's not the sound system.

Review | @atotaso.bsky.social - I Told You So by @garydavidson.bsky.social "I Told You so is the epicentre of where math rock and alt-rock collide. This is a glorious evolution in sound and scope which really deserves some attention." echoesanddust.com/2026/09/a-to...

Brilliant letter from Stuart Thompson to Jeremy Clarkson about his comments that benefit claimants should write weekly thank you letters to tax payers detailing how they spend their benefits each week.

North sea oil doesn't even help with energy security - I have no idea how they get away with peddling that lie after the American invasion of Iran proved there is no correlation. This next one seems as bad as the last 8.

Sounding great, bit of noise/post-hardcore feel to it with some post-black thrown in there with blasting drums. I really enjoyed the demos they had on bandcamp and this seems to have taken it to another level. halfwayupajaggedhill.bandcamp.com/album/huajh #post-metal #post-black #post-hardcore

Some nice textbook #post-black from England: cairiss.bandcamp.com/album/wilder... Tagged as #post-metal #black-metal FFO Alcest, Deafheaven, Sylvaine Feels like it could fall both ways between gothic and black-metal with some clean and screamed vocals. Interesting to see how the album comes out.

For many grassroots venues, the issue isn’t just the cost of PRS billing - it’s the time, pressure and exhaustion that comes with constantly trying to correct it. Mark Miller from Slay / Audio in Glasgow described the experience as “a constant and exhausting battle rather than a partnership.”

As someone who writes them and knows not many are read I would say do them in a format and location that you feel most comfortable in. At this point it is about doing it for your love of music and passion for writing/talking about it, any singular person paying attention is just a bonus :)
