THE SWORD and co-headliners RED FANG brought the doom and stoner gloom to Las Vegas and the House of Blues for a sludge stoner metal night like no other with support from SPOON BENDERS. Spoon Benders psychedelic punk grungy groove started off the night, vocalist and founder Katy Black slinging the bass around and belting to "Cut Behind" from the Oregon based band's 2023 release How Things Repeat. The set was a bit of Repeat and several songs that are in line to make up a new

SHINEDOWN once again returned to Las Vegas, with the Dance, Kid, Dance ll World Tour at the Mandalay Ultra Arena for a big night of hits, fire, and yes, a little Dance. Shinedown has a new album out, and the tour showcased the new music as well as career spanning years of hits from the band. The night got off to a face paced start with From Ashes to New, who took full advanage of the big stage and huge ramps that came out into the crowd to get close and personal, immediately

It felt strange to be in Las Vegas on Memorial weekend and not have the three day revelry of Punk Rock Bowling this year, and the loss was physically felt in the Vegas punk rock community. But we got a mini PRB at the Brooklyn Bowl with legendary punks Circle Jerks, Gorilla Biscuits and 7 Seconds. Vegas did not disappoint, the show was packed, and locals and musicians were out to have a great night celebrating all things punk, albeit a bit smaller celebration than usual for t

WHO'S HAVING FUN??? DRAIN crashed into the House of Blues like a tidal wave, with a surf lesson for us all. Watch out for that shark. The show got started with Secret World, hardcore from down under, with members of post Speed, Downside, and Hand of Mercy, with a melodic take on Aussie punk with their 2024 debut EP Guilt Is Good and their second EP Tomorrow Is A Mystery To Me in late 2025. Secret World came in hot with "The Way It Goes" and the crowd got rowdy from the firs

The Devil Wears Prada kicked the shit out of Las Vegas this week, bringing their Flowers Tour to the House of Blues with guests Four Year Strong, Split Chain , and I Promised the World. The venue was packed early, and the energy already off the charts as the first band took the stage. I Promised the World came out the gate with "Proud" from their 2026 self titled EP and immediately set the crowd on fire. These Texans played a short but power packed set of pure metalcore an

Silverstein packed the House of Blues in Las Vegas for a SOLD OUT date on their last leg of 25 Years Of Noise Anniversary Tour , showcasing their decades plus catalogue with a show that also featured sets from Bloom, Free Throw , and Thursday . Fans packed against the barricade early, not missing a moment of the show, and got a real treat with Australia's Bloom. The band came out the gate hard, and I really liked them immediately, they had intensity and aggressiveness mixed

MAMMOTH blasted into Las Vegas and the House of Blues with the End Tour , hitting the stage with pounding drums and smashing guitars for “One of a Kind”, with Wolfgang Van Halen stepping up to lead the way. A multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter mastermind, Van Halen has put together a tight impressive touring band that enhances the Mammoth experience - Frank Sidoris (Slash) and Jon Jourdan (To Whom It May) on guitars, Ronnie Ficarro (FIR) on bass, and Garrett Whit

GWAR bought the GOR GOR back to Vegas, and we were there for the destruction. Brooklyn Bowl at the Linq Promenade hosted Your Lords and Masters of the Universe, and it was a blood and GOR-for-all. But we also got punk legends HELMET and THE DWARVES on the lineup, and Blood Vultures kicking off the night. Blood Vultures gothic metal sound on the lineup was a bit unexpected, but they really connected with the Vegas crowd and it made for a great set. Jordan Old ( Two Minutes
