Guest Post by Karen - Kill Casino Vocalist.
So I’ve made it to the Roundhouse for the annual Kerrang! tour and it’s really encouraging to see so many British bands on the bill. I’ve known the My Passion guys for a few years and whether you dig what they’re doing or not, you cannot deny that they work incredibly hard. I know they’ve sacrificed a hell of a lot to get this far and it’s great to see everything coming together for them. Tonight they rock it!

Guest Post by Jay, bassist of Colour Me Stupid. Images taken by Jodie Cunningham.
This was my first year for the Kerrang! Tour, I went on the 30th January to Birmingham Academy, I could talk about my journey there (which was terrible by the way) as none of us had ever been to Birmingham before so the usual satellite navigational device was needed. But I digress. We were a tad late for Young Guns which I was disappointed 
about, but we did catch the last two songs which I must say were simply amazing to say the band had never really performed in this type of venue before; I was very impressed with Gustav (Vocals) who commanded the crowd brilliantly. After their set me and the guys moseyed on over to one of the ATL merch stands which I must say, were amazing; they had screens behind them detailing the line up which I thought was awesome, I’d never been to an 02 Academy before so all this was new to me.

Yes you heard me, I’ve finally cracked and decided to review things from my imagination!

Dear Jamie: The article where every social group, band and person gets the p**s taken out of them – in the nicest possible way of course!
You know, many people would think that writing articles daily would get tiresome. I’m safe to say the answer is yes, yes it does.
But it’s you little bundle of joys my readers that keep me motivated. While you’re all playing on your Xbox 300’s, and PS10’s I’m slaving away underground producing articles day in day out. However luckily I do get snippets of information from the outside world; the reason I was so accurate in naming today’s technology!

Yes, whilst Kerrang! reports that Mark Hoppus and John Mayer were joining Fall Out Boy turned out to be fake – http://www2.kerrang.com/2010/02/mark_hoppus_and_john_mayer_joi.html we thought that Britan’s own Subo would be perfect for the role of both vocalist and bass!
The singer who was once dubbed the ‘hairy angel’, wears fake £10 Burberry scarves and pops out 80’s dance moves like there’s no tomorrow seems the perfect candidate for the job. Crowd favourites such as Dance Dance which often saw Wentz dance like a geek on 20 sports drinks a day would prove an easy ‘challenge’ for the Scottish 48 year old.

Today I suspect some of you will be going ‘who’ whilst the more veterans amongst us will be going ‘ooooh’. Either way you’re going to need the current issue of Kerrang! and in particular page 14… *pause for you to skip off and purchase it*
Ok as well as gaining Kerrang! another sale (what a sneaky devil I am) you should all now be going ‘oooh’ – hopefully in public so you’re getting bizarre stares.
That’s right, Katie P is the talented journalist behind the Kerrang! ‘Introducing’ articles and also currently part of the Kerrang! Tour ‘crew’. We caught up with Katie to talk Kerrang!, radio, and desert islands?….

I know what you’re thinking right now, ‘Franceschi, where have I heard that name before?’ Even more so…delve further into your mind and you’ve probably wondered before who the outstanding female vocals were on Always Attract?
Of course it’s none other then Elissa Franceschi sister to You Me At Six’s frontman Josh. Earlier on in the week we caught up with Elissa to discuss her solo career, super groups, toilet seats and whisky in one of our most interesting interviews yet!…

Asking Alexandria; Imagine a twisted ‘free for all’ mosh-pit between Enter Shikari, Attack Attack, and Bless The Fall. At least then you’ll be scratching the surface of pinning down the bands sound…
Yes. The British outfit have possibly one of the most bizarre sounds I’ve heard, yet it’s not a bad thing by any means. First song Alerion bursts in with the whole techno vibe coupled with metal guitar riffs, meaning that the ravers can rave, and the metal-heads can either mosh or do that thing were they deny they like the band but secretly they have lead singer Danny’s picture in their purses – n’aww.
