“Well…It was Sunday, traditionally a school night, however, Global Onslaught headed up the motorway to Sutton in Ashfield, near Nottingham UK to check out the party of the year…

…Fireroad proved to be one of my personal favourites of the show. You could tell they were putting their all into this, grinning from ear to ear throughout. If you haven’t heard or seen Fireroad, I can highly recommend them…

…Overall I had a great evening with our hosts HGR and was made to feel very very welcome. Our love and best wishes to them for another successful 12 months in the business and we will be following them.”

We are very pleased to announce the full line up for our 1st Birthday Bash at The Diamond, Sutton-In-Ashfield, Nottingham on Sunday 3rd March. It all kicks off at 4pm and rocks on until midnight and I am sure you’ll enjoy every band on the bill as much as we will! For £7 on the door (or £5 for The Diamond members) you get 9, yes, NINE awesome bands and reasonably priced drinks at the bar. But without further ado, check out the flyer below to see who we have on this amazing show:

Slam Cartel + Sons of Icarus + BlackWolf + Massive Wagons + Hell’s Addiction + Toadstool + Titans & Kings + Fireroad + Valve Rider

The Union are not only amazing musicians but truly awesome people, as they continue to give such great opportunities to rising young talent by allowing new bands such as BlackWolf the chance to support them on tour and there will be a few more support bands announced over the coming days for each venue, so keep an eye out on The Union’s official sites for updates.

The tour kicks off in Manchester at the Academy 3 on February 13th (which is our very own DJ Dazzle Rebel’s birthday – humble creator of the HGR website) so we will be out in style on that night for sure!

You can buy tickets to the shows here: www.theuniononline.com/official/index.php/gigs

The Union will be touring in celebration of their third album ’The World Is Yours’ which is officially released on February 11th 2013, however you can pre-order it and hear samples of the new album on their official website here: www.theuniononline.com/official/ ~ those of you who pledged on the album (like us) will already have it and will agree with us when we say it will blow you away!

As you may already know HGR are huge supporters of BlackWolf as they are one of the resident bands on our roster, check them out here: www.ukblackwolf.com

Prepare yourself for the tour by getting BlackWolf’s debut E.P ‘Taking Root’ here: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/taking-root-ep/id545996216 or grab one at a show, either way it will have you hooked and wanting more!

Rumour has it, BlackWolf will be going into the studio this year to record their first album. In the meantime you will see them on the road up n down the UK at many gigs and festivals as they are set as one of the bands to watch in 2013!

Anyone going to a BlackWolf gig be sure to pick up a T-shirt with this howlin’ wolf logo on it, you can buy one on their site or at any show, and if you send a photo of yourself wearing one to either their Facebook or Twitter – links on their website - they will welcome you into their pack officially with a signed poster sent directly to you!

We had the pleasure of meeting Paul Anthony of Planet Rock Radio, who says this about Night By Night;
