Ryan Smith Review

The Brickyard
In experience with the arts, I chose to go to a rock concert within Carlisle, one of the local bands, 'The Sun Explodes' was headlining the gig so I went to give support to band, I find it very important to support your local scene to further culture within it.

When going to a rock show it is important to recognise the mentality of such a crowd, it is rowdy, rough and it half of the appeal of going to said shows.

The show was well received, a good selection of songs, as well as the necessary lighting effects to add to the atmosphere of the show.

I spoke before about the mentality of the crowd in a rock show, something that happens at a show normally is a “Mosh Pit” now what a mosh pit is, a mosh pit is essentially a  group of people in the centre of a crowd, shoving and running at each-other, generally to shove each-other around, this is mostly for the sake of adrenaline and a show of aggression.

All in all the show was good, TSE has a unique vocal talent that separates the from the other bands around Carlisle and they deserve all the praise they get in various magasines.


I'd love to see them again and I'm looking forward to their album which is coming out “Very Soon”

Daniel Little Irish Punk

The Irish punk gig

I was in Belfast for one week, in that time I went to an local Irish punk gig which was full when I got there, it was very exciting & the mood was very cheerful with most of the people there drunk & where punks.

I stood there waiting for the starter band to get on stage, everyone around me was very cheerful & shouting in a good way, until the Punk band started to come on the stage, most people quickly turned to the stage when the band was getting ready, even more cheers started from everyone.

The band had Union Jacks on the stage when they where on, so I guessed they where Union supporters, they played "If the kids are united" by Sham 69 which everyone joined in on singing it, really awesome time & experience through the whole thing  9/10
