It’s a Saturday night at the O2 Academy Islington and there is a 22:00 curfew, which means one support band and then the headliner playing for 90 minutes. The venue isn’t quite full when Courtesans [1] take the stage. The all female quartet are so out of place it’s unreal. It’s almost Halloween, it’s a

So tonight’s preceedings… Reptil [1/5] open the show in piss poor fashion. The band are clearly playing
Sanctuary in Basingstoke is the venue for the show, on a rainy Sunday evening. We arrive to Midlands Metalcore band Revealer‘s low key sound check, the band blast through the opening verse and chorus of a new song to check their levels.
