IRON MAIDEN WIN BEST LIVE BAND Eddie and the boys have just been voted BEST LIVE BAND by Loudwire Music Awards 2017. Nearly 40 loud years in the business, it’s no surprise that fans and industry professionals alike have collectively decided that there’s nothing quite like an Iron Maiden gig! Eddie the Head, the band’s official mascot, has rocked the stage and appeared on the iconic album covers since the band began. Iron Maiden have jetted around the world on their longest tour in 30 years, performing 117 shows on their Book of Souls tour between 2016 and 2017.

THE HORRORS A vision of Halloween, like they should be in a Tim Burton film themselves, The Horrors are back with their fifth album ‘V’. Since its release they have received rave reviews commenting that it’s their best album to date. It was co-produced by Paul Epworth (who has previously worked with Adele and U2) – stomping lead single ‘Machine’ epitomises their newly assured swagger. The Horrors are currently on their European tour.
