LIVE: COSMOSIS – 14/03/2015
Photo’s: Peter Rea – ANTWERP MANSION, MANCHESTER – The website insists that this venue didn’t used to be a squat… to be honest, it looks as though it still is a squat.

On one hand, if you love the album it’s great – you know what’s coming and you know the band will play your favourite song from it because, er, they have to.
