Is it just us or has May been a stellar month for music? Bands like Issues, Pierce The Veil and Against The Current have released new albums and many more have been teasing fans with hard-hitting and infectious singles.

London, Ontario was the first Canadian stop of Enter Shikari’s North American Mindsweep tour. A show filled with energetic and hard-hitting heavy music, the tour proved to be one of the year’s best.
The show began with a set from Toronto’s Sparrows. With a set that was approximately 20-25 minutes in length, the band were able to showcase their talents and capture the audience’s attention, something that sometimes proves a but difficult with local opening acts. The four-piece seamlessly blended breakdowns with melodic intervals, creating a balanced sound that appealed to both metal and post-hardcore fans. The only complaint of the night would be that the musical interludes played during the set tended to be on the long side, resulting in audience attention to wane a bit.

Young Guns, Arcane Roots and Boston Manor have been announced as playing this September’s Fort Fest in Thurleigh, North Bedfordshire. You can view the current line-up below.
