There’s nothing like a good festival and, coming into its debut year, Liverpool’s Radstock sits right on Easter bank holiday weekend, making it pretty much the first festival of the year. With a line-up consisting of simply great British acts (bar one or two exceptions), when we were invited to go we just couldn’t refuse. Here’s some photos of a bunch of bands who played throughout the day, including The Blackout, Don Broco, Yashin, Bleed From Within and more:

With its debut year about to take play, Liverpool’s Radstock Festival is pretty much the first music festival of the year. What makes it a special one however is that almost every single band (with one or two exceptions) featured on the line-up is British, a rarity nowadays. Spread across three stages, we had to catch what could well be the beginning of a long lasting festival to come.

Welsh post-hardcore outfit, The Blackout, have come a long way since their first EP back in 2006. Their latest full-length effort, ‘Start The Party’, shows a refined change in sound. Leaving their disordered sound behind for a fine-tuned, polished album, The Blackout have succeeded in creating a record that plays upon the ever so popular party theme which resonates in ways through every ‘popular’ song circulating at present.
