In addition to those sweet as you like on-stage photos of Cancer Bats’ Main Stage triumph we showed you last weekend, our man Gobinder Jhitta took a shedload of photos at this year’s Leeds Festival. We basically gave him free rein to go shoot whatever and whoever he wanted, and he didn’t let us down – pretty much every band we ranted and/or raved about in our post-Reading & Leeds Festival podcast is featured in his gallery, which you can check out after the jump.
We’ve already brought you photos from this gig earlier this week, but now we’re bringing you the critical eye of Alex Andrews as he reviews what went down when Touché Amoré, Pettybone and Grappler brought – or tried to bring – their A-game to the Camden Barfly….
There are a lot of things that are good about Touché Amoré. One of the good things about Touché Amoré is that they force lazy music bloggers to learn the keyboard-shortcut for typing “é”. Another, perhaps more relevant, good thing about Touché Amoré, is that they are a bloody awesome live band. That’s why we had Ben Gibson go and photograph them doing just that at the Camden Barfly earlier this week, at any rate.
What do you do when you’re a bona fide powerhouse in the world of grind, power violence and noisecore? When you’ve already assured your place in the genres’ histories thanks to your role in – among others – The Locust, Some Girls, and All Leather? Well, the answer is that you go and keep forming new bands to blow people’s tits off in new and exciting ways. Such is the way of Retox, the current musical vehicle that Justin Pearson is using to batter audience’s braincells flat with – have a listen and see what we mean.
If you’ve got any braincells still working after that, then you’d be wise to get them along to CAMP Basement in East London tomorrow night, as the gig that Retox are playing there will surely finish the job.

Pettybone are a band with a point to prove. It would be easy to focus on the fact these four punks from wildly divergent backgrounds (a Czech, a Londoner, a German and a Cornish) are women but there’s more to it than being massively patronising. This album is punk as fuck.

Lazy equation: (Girls + Politics) x Hardcore x Camden

Thrash Hits verdict: Four ladies from Camden with a shared passion for hardcore and politics. They’re the kind of band that goes on tour in either Israel and Camden. We love that.
