 Watching Fucked Up live is not so much like watching a gig, as actually playing a gig. It's full on contact sport of the hardcore punk rock variety, and we asked Johnny H to pogo along to the Cardiff Barfly to witness it all.

 New albums from The Barbarellatones are like dental check-ups for Gaz E; they come twice yearly and leave him permanently grinning. Could 'Surf Narcs' be about to break the cycle and leave him deeply scarred?

 After the raucous show by FM a week earlier, the owners of Cardiff's Millenium Music Hall were hoping for a quiet week in order to clean up all the home perm kits and discarded suit jackets in a variety of pastel colours.

 Have you ever wondered what those people at the front of gigs with huge cameras have to do to earn that position? Well we asked our very own Donal MacIntyre, Russ P to go undercover at the recent TJ's In The Square event and live the dream, as we experience "A Day In The Life Of An Über Röck Photographer".

 With the last notes of GLC's headline set still ringing out over Newport's John Frost Square, bringing 'TJ's in The Square' to its natural conclusion, Johnny H was already making his way across town to Le Pub for a double bill of chaos with The Guns and Goldblade. Rebel songs for those still able to rock, or indeed talk.

 Über Röck has gone pretty much Europe crazy ever since Gaz reviewed their 'Last Look At Eden' album back in our fledgling days. So after the John Norum interview last week, Tazz got the chance earlier this week to talk with Joey Tempest ahead of the band's upcoming iTunes Festival and Sonisphere appearances. And boy was she 'Halfway To Heaven'.
