One of the first rock and metal bands I ever got into was Hundred Reasons, so it was a pleasure to speak to their frontman Colin Doran for our latest episode of GigRadio.
GigRadio Episode 12: The Hundred Reasons One
Introducing: A Night Like This
Welsh post-hardcore will always be a musical offering that's close to my heart and, in south Welsh outfit A Night Like This, the Valleys' heavy scene is well and truly alive and well. The band released their debut EP last May, then added a fifth member to their ranks and released fantastic latest single Thrones towards the... Continue Reading →
