As mentioned last month, concert season is in full swing, we still haven't decided if to see PJ Harvey in Cologne or Of Mice & Men in Frankfurt. It is almost like in November, where I cannot decide whether to go for Justin Bieber or Bullet for my Valentine. Funny how this month, ROCKCULTURE are especially excited about 27 October and 28 October.
Batschkapp in Frankfurt are welcoming Architects on 27 October as part of their German tour (hurry, tickets are selling fast) and having been fortunate enough to have seen Tom Searle's last concert in Nürnberg back in June, we are beyond honored to see them touring and hopefully healing with the love and support they are shown all over the world. I am not sure we will review the gig, or should I say how I would be able to review the gig, though I have a preconception of how it will go: surreal, yet awesome, with few words left to say.
Normally ROCKCULTURE don't get overly excited by new releases, but on 28 October both Memphis May Fire and Frank Iero & the Patience release their new albums.
Memphis May Fire's new album "This Light I Hold" (Rise Records) looks promising and the title track has an incredibly cool video featuring Jacoby Shaddix (Papa Roach) - of course if you're in Germany you won't be able to watch it, otherwise check it out https://youtu.be/01BzeeoBXuI
Frank Iero and the Patience's new record "Remedy" is taking the UK by storm, the BBC absolutely loving it, so when his album "Parachutes" (Hassle Records) comes out, I really hope he can follow suit.
