Split across three different venues over the course of three days, Slam Dunk Festival has been a celebration of pop-punk, rock, metal and even drum and bass over recent years. Nominated for UK Festival Awards in previous years, Slam Dunk has always prided itself on its accessibility and openness to its audiences.
This year Slam Dunk will be taking place from May 27-May 29 in Leeds, Birmingham and Hatfield accordingly, and so far the line-up is a mixed bag of awesomeness.
Not only is it welcoming headliners Enter Shikari to the main stage, but it will also be giving them the chance to play their debut album Take To The Skies (2007) for its tenth anniversary.
But it doesn’t stop there.
Other names such as Reel Big Fish, Less Than Jake, Neck Deep, We Are The Ocean, Bowling for Soup, Don Broco and Deaf Havana will be hitting the stages to entertain the huge crowds.

Electro duo Kid Arkade are at it again and this week, they have a huge new dance track for us in the form of “Not Alone,” which features You Me At Six lead singer Josh Franceschi.
“It was a great experience working with Kid Arkade. It was really refreshing to artistically be part of something different. I love the track and hope people grow to enjoy this song all summer long!” said Francheschi.
With strong, emotionally charged vocals and a vibrant energy throughout, the progressive tune is another winner for the promising producers, who recently impressed us with their electro track “Dodeca.”
Though “Not Alone” is a definite departure from their last song, it’s once again very solid work. Easy to move to and sing along with, the track should prove to be a huge hit with audiences as Kid Arkade continues on with their packed tour schedule this spring/summer.

All Time Low is gearing up to release their new album, Future Hearts, on April 7th – and the first single off the album, “Something’s Gotta Give” is already proving to be a monster hit.
The music video for the uber-catchy new punk/pop-rock tune has already amassed over 1.5 million views on YouTube and features lead singer Alex Gaskarth roaming about in a French fry costume as he attempts to hit on a model, befriend his band-mates and cuddle a cat. Unfortunately, none of them want anything to do with the 27-year-old, but it’s not until he glances at his reflection that he understands why: He’s A Zombie. Gaskarth then goes on to infect Jack Barakat, Rian Dawson, and Zack Merrick with his zombie-bite – and in the end, he’s put out of his own misery. Yikes?

Electronic duo Kid Arkade have released a new, hard-hitting electro track today titled “Dodeca.” It’s an incredibly catchy tune that utilizes familiar 8-bit sounds, funky synths, killer riffs and a steady beat that will keep those toes tapping the whole way through.
The upbeat and energetic electro tune is another winner from the mysterious British duo, who have been putting out some solid work on Ultra Music. They’ve also done a couple impressive remixes over the last year or so, giving their own spin to songs from Rae Morris, Marlon Roudette, Kodaline and more.
Back to “Dodeca” though, and it seems that this is just the beginning of what looks to be a great year for Kid Arkade. They’re currently on tour in the UK and also have a new original track coming soon, which will feature You Me At Six’s lead vocalist, Josh Franceschi.

With Glastonbury over, Download done with, and Latitude having just passed, you’d be forgiven for thinking that festival season might be finished for this year. But such is the diversity in the UK’s festival scene, we still have a good two months of action left yet. Bestival, Lounge on the Farm, and V are all on the horizon, while pretty much every city and county has a vast range of smaller, independent festivals on offer, right through until September.
What helps make the festival scene here is the huge choice. Between the hundreds of festivals, there are thousands of acts waiting to get out there and make everyone’s summers. Reading & Leeds are no exception of course, with a bill this year that contains the like of Arctic Monkeys, Blink 182, Queens of the Stone Age, Paramore, Bombay Bicycle Club, and Vampire Weekend all ready and...
