I’ve been writing live reviews as far back as I’ve been writing about music – indeed my very first was covering downset. for ROAR (the King’s College London Student Newspaper) back in Autumn 1996.

The live reviews here go back to about 2003, and while most were first posted here, some others appeared in the (short-lived) Alternative Magazine, others on Black Harvest, Connexion Bizarre and even once on the BBC website. This archive is every live review I’ve written between 2003 and the present day.

The title of this section comes from a track on Testament’s album The New Order.
