Friday’s Takedown Festival line-up had set a very high bar indeed! There seemed to be a lot more people here at the start of Saturday’s festivities though, more than last year even. Higher numbers bode well for the future of the event, although it made it more important for me to plan my day and be more selective as to which stages I needed to make my way to ahead of time.Monochrome (c) Steve DulsonFor that reason I got in early to the Metal For Good (MFG) Stage to check out Monochrome. Hailing from the West Country, they play hard-hitting…
Alec Duckart, SearowsSearows | Amos HeartManchester Academy 28th April 2026Searows and Amos Heart bring the indie folk sounds of the American Pacific Northwest to a packed Manchester Academy as Mancunians pay homage on a night of spine-tingling, hushed adoration.Musically, Searows and Amos Heart compliment each other perfectly. But what, you may ask, are the indie folk sounds of the Pacific Northwest? For contemporary comparison, Phoebe Bridger’s Stranger in the Alps album comes closest to the sound. For those of an older vintage, there are echoes of Daniel Lanois Acadie record and his production work on mid 1990’s albums like Wrecking…
This one’s Alan’s fault as, like several other gigs recently, Rick Astley is someone he liked when he was little but wastoo little to go and see him. Now Alan’s a big boy (with a knack for taking cracking pictures), he’s catching up on his youth. I, on the other hand, simply never got round to seeing Rick Astley as I was too young when he was massive (late 80s) and too into metal to see him once I was old enough.Gabrielle (c) Alan SwanTime to make things right.Opening tonight was an act that I thought I hadn’t heard of…
ZULAN opens her 2026 rollout with Ricota ahead of Coachella. Club-scale energy meets cultural momentum. Tight, immediate, already in motion. I’ve always felt really inspired by Puerto Rican culture, and seeing Bad Bunny live made that feeling even stronger. I left wanting to create something, which led me to making this song.Momentum is high. Global shows, viral live moments, and a D.I.Y. rise from self-funded New York debut to sold-out runs in Los Angeles and Argentina. ZULAN keeps full control: sound, visuals, environment, identity.Ricota doesn’t operate as a standalone drop, it sets the tone for a broader 2026 expansion. Louder,…

SCARECROW is a hard-rock band founded in 1989 by writer, producer, and lead vocalist John Blaze, whose gritty voice and theatrical vision helped shape the band’s distinctive sound and image. Emerging during the final wave of the late-80s hard rock era, SCARECROW quickly developed a reputation for powerful live performances and a dramatic stage presence that blended raw rock energy with a darker, almost cinematic storytelling style. The original lineup featured Jim Harris on drums, Rickie Panzica (Rick Anthony) on bass, and Eddie Ojeda—known for his work with Twisted Sister—on guitar. From the beginning, Blaze embraced a raspy, aggressive vocal tone…

There are artists who entertain, and then there are artists who stay with you—the ones whose music becomes something more than sound. Ray Ray Star belongs to that second category. His work doesn’t just reach listeners—it holds them. Because what Ray Ray Star creates isn’t just music. It’s connection. His songs carry the weight of real life—struggles that don’t resolve in three minutes, emotions that don’t fit neatly into a chorus. And instead of trying to escape those realities, he leans into them. Not for effect, not for drama, but because they’re true. Because they’re lived. That honesty changes everything. Listeners don’t…

In a music landscape driven by volume, speed, and constant stimulation, Brenner Plaehn is doing something quietly radical—he’s pulling back. While many artists compete to be louder, bigger, and more immediate, Brenner leans into something far more elusive: stillness. Not silence for the sake of absence, but space with intention. The kind of space that allows emotion to settle, to breathe, to fully land. His music doesn’t demand attention—it invites it. There’s a subtle discipline in the way he constructs his sound. Nothing feels excessive. Nothing feels rushed. Each note carries weight, not because it’s amplified, but because it’s placed with care.…
