  • deary – “Alfie”

    The London shoegaze trio deary impressed us with “Seabird,” the lead single from their debut album Birding. They’re back this week with a non-avian new track. The eight-minute epic “Alfie” is about a different kind of animal: It started as a tribute to guitarist Ben Easton’s family dog. The Slowdive influence is strong on this

  • Foo Fighters / Intimate London Set Hits Like A Nostalgic Riot

    There is a particular kind of adrenaline that comes from walking up to a box office window and asking, ‘Any tickets left?’ and hearing the miracle answer, “Yes.” Foo Fighters dragged fans across three cities back into that old‑school ritual on Sunday, 23 February, announcing three last‑minute intimate shows in Dublin, London and Manchester. Tickets were made available only in person, only from the venue, and only on the same day. Tonight was pure, unfiltered nostalgia at O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire.

    O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire, London – 25 February 2026

    Words: Rhys Tagg

    By Wednesday, that nostalgia had turned into a pilgrimage. Fans arrived early, packing out O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire more than an hour before Dave Grohl even set foot in the room. With no support act, the atmosphere simmered, people mingling, swapping stories, snapping photos, buzzing with the kind of excitement only a band of this scale can generate in a room this small.

    After an extra 15–20 minutes of anticipation, the crowd finally caught a glimpse of their heroes. Foo Fighters walked out to a roar that spanned generations.

    There must have been a 60‑year age gap between the youngest and oldest fans in the room, all erupting together. The six‑piece matched that energy instantly, Grohl screaming, “Are you ready”? as the room detonated into a rhythmic bounce.

    By the time the first note rang out, O2 Shepherds Bush Empire was a heaving mass of bodies, a sold-out 2,000 capacity crush with barely enough space to nutmeg a mermaid in a telephone box.

    They opened with This Is A Call, then tore straight into the one‑two punch of All My Life and Times Like These. New track Of All People landed early, with Ilan Rubin settling comfortably into his role behind the kit and Jason Falkner stepping in for Pat Smear, who is reportedly sidelined with a broken leg.

    These Days brought a classic Dave Grohl moment, as he paused mid‑song, letting the crowd carry the melody back at him. Grinning, he thanked them for the effort before cutting in with a playful, “But that’s not how it goes,” and slamming the band back into the track.

    Grohl was like an excited kid, maybe even happier than the fans, constantly dousing the steaming crowd with cups of water, clapping the crowd and thanking them for their participation and energy. He watched Ilan’s drum solo with the rest of the band in genuine awe, not once leaving the stage. 

    When he joked about a permanent residency at the venue forever, you believed him. The hot, sweating, intimate crowd clearly meant more to him than any stadium.

    My Hero, Grohl’s self‑confessed favourite to play live, sent goosebumps rippling through the room, followed by the airborne joy of Learn To Fly. Another new track, Your Favourite Toy, the title track from the freshly announced album, slotted neatly into the set, hinting at where the band’s next chapter might be heading.

    Things wound down briefly with the ultra-rare A320, before the main set closed on a ferocious Best Of You, but the band were not done. Despite hitting the 11 pm curfew, they pushed on for another 15–20 minutes, delivering a dual encore of Exhausted and a blistering, emotional Everlong.

    Somewhere in the chaos, they even pulled a crowd‑surfing kid onto the stage, a perfect snapshot of the night’s chaotic, joyful, deeply human energy. Two and a half hours of bouncing, sweat-drenched, rock ‘n’ roll delight.

    Foo Fighters delivered the second of three intimate shows, wedged between gargantuan stadium dates, reminding everyone in the Empire what it feels like to fall in love with live music all over again.

    Thirty years on, Grohl summed it up best. “This is what it felt like 30 years ago.”

  • W.E.B. Unleashes “Morphine for Saints (Live)” Video from Darkness Alive – @thebeast

    W.E.B. Unleashes “Morphine for Saints (Live)” Video from Darkness Alive

    Greek symphonic extreme metal force W.E.B. has dropped a crushing live video for “Morphine for Saints,” taken from Darkness Alive , their first-ever live album released last week via Metal Blade Records.
    The band’s signature blend of drama, extremity, and sheer bloodthirst comes through in full force on the video. W.E.B. thrives on stage, and Darkness Alive captures them at their most commanding, transforming each performance into a relentless display of adrenaline-fueled metal.
    Vocalist and guitarist Sakis Prekas explains the significance of today’s video:


    “‘Morphine For Saints’ has been a fan favorite from the start. It’s one of the peak moments of every concert—it kicks off with a wall of death and a crowd chanting alone in the middle. It’s the perfect connection between W.E.B. and every audience.”


    Watch the live performance video of “Morphine for Saints”

    Darkness Alive is available now digitally at metalblade.com/web.
    Born to scream, blast, and channel raw emotion, W.E.B. combines darkness, death, and poetry into a visceral live experience. Darkness Alive follows five previous studio albums, including Colosseum (2021), the band’s first release with Metal Blade. This live album documents the lineup of Prekas, Hel Pyre (bass/vocals), and new drummer Vasilis Nanos. Since recording, the band has expanded their sound with the addition of lead guitarist Alex Despotidis and second bassist Babis Kapageridis.
    W.E.B. is already working on their next full-length album, promising fans their heaviest and most intense material yet. Prekas concludes:


    “It is by far the best material we’ve ever had on a record. All new material must be better, otherwise there’s no reason to release it. Stay Dark.”

  • Iron Maiden is Taking a Break from Touring in 2027, Won’t Return Until at Least 2028

    Iron_Maiden_NJP08403_MSPUB-resize

    Touring as a major metal band has gotta be tough on everyone. Now imagine being in your 60s and 70s while you do it — that’s gotta be damn near Herculean at times. So it only makes sense that British heavy metal icons Iron Maiden revealed today that the Japanese dates of their ‘Run For Your Lives’ world tour would mark the end of that two-year run before taking all of 2027 off from touring altogether.

    The final two shows before they take a year-long breather will take place on November 24 and 25 at K-A1rena Yokohama in Yokohama, Japan. According to the band’s press release, after those shows the band have zero touring plans in the works until at least 2028.

    Speaking of those final two shows, bassist Steve Harris said Japan was a great place to put a bow on their two years on the road.

    “We are very excited to be bringing this ‘Run For Your Lives’ tour to Japan later this year. And even more so as we are ending the entire two-year world tour in Yokohama.

    “I have always loved spending time in Japan, and we enjoy coming back whenever we can to play for our fans there. So it feels extra special for us to be sharing the final two nights of this incredible tour with you all in Japan. It’s going to make it a truly memorable occasion for us all.”

    So if you have the capability of seeing Iron Maiden this year, you should probably do it at one of the shows listed below. Because they’re not getting any younger and if you don’t, you’re gonna have to wait until 2028 at the earliest for your next chance. And everyone should see Iron Maiden at least once.
