Live Review: The Last Vinci at Blondies, London (21/05/26)
It doesn’t get more intimate than Blondies in Hackney, London, which for a band with the kind of personality of Cork, Ireland’s The Last Vinci, is pretty much perfect.

It sure does feel like Graphic Nature are finally getting their dues, and this, their only London headline show of 2026, does feel quite celebratory.
For around 45 minutes, the eclectic group that is Sugar Horse delivered an unforgettable showcase of inventive eccentricities that showed just how strong their new album is.
Archers, the alternative metal/metalcore group spent three days in the UK, playing Glasgow, Manchester, and London, and brought the alternative rock and pop band, Tropic Gold with them.
They played for an hour, and it still wasn’t enough. Once again, I have come away from a Winterfylleth show in awe of what they can do.
It’s no surprise that the queue to get into Brixton Academy has gone completely around the building way before doors have opened, such is the strength of a bill that features hardcore metal band Nails, thrashers Exodus, death metallers Carcass, and thrash legends Kreator, who are headlining this shindig.
A bill featuring Tribe of Ghosts, Mastiff, and Beyond Extinction, with the latter headlining and performing their debut full-length album, Where They Gather in full. Oh, yes please.
A few hours before they took to the stage in London, I sat down with Silverburn’s Jimbob where we really went into detail about the Crowbar tour and all things Silverburn!
