Wait, did we say outdoor festival season had ended with Reading and Leeds? Well, we were wrong. A whole truckload of bands descended upon Brighton Racecourse last weekend for Breakout Festival. We sent our newest snapper, Mike Burnell, down to shoot the best and the brightest for Thrash Hits.
You know what’s kicking off tonight? The Impericon Never Say Die! Tour 2013. How do you say that out loud when it’s got an exclamation mark in the middle? Do you have to shout it out loud, and then say they “tour 2013” bit in your normal voice? That’s how we do it when we read it in our internal monologue.
Whatever. Come listen to our Sunday Spotify Slaylist of this year’s tour line-up.
Look at this poster. How can any part of this be bad? It’s a blooming Photoshop disaster that would definitely be worth a an entry into Bad Band Photos, but it’s a tour package, not a band. Anyway, everything can only get better after seeing this, right?
Well, since Christmas and the New Year are now well and truly out of the way, we figured now was the perfect time to throw the next episode of the Thrash Hits podcast out there for you to digest. This week, Raz and Hugh are talking about the various ins and outs of certain legal cases (Ian Watkins of Lostprophets, Harley Flanagan – formerly – of Cro Mags, and, of course, Randy Blythe of Lamb of God) that have been going on while we were on our Christmas break, as well a a discussion on the nature of making tips and predictions, and even a little bit about what’s going on with Thrash Hits for 2013. HINT: BIG PLANS.
We’re keeping things nice and simple for this week’s Slaylist. This evening, the 2012 incarnation of Bonecrusher Festival has rolled into town, and we’re heading down to the Camden Underworld to check it out. What better way to get us in the mood than with a Slaylist of all the band’s taking part this year?
