Fancy lights and trees have started going up in town centres, boxes of mince pies have invaded supermarket shelves and soppy adverts for department stores are all over the telly – yep, it’s officially run-up-to-Christmas time! If all these sudden festivities have taken you by surprise and left you struggling for gift ideas, then struggle […]
I thought it would be a good idea to have a look at some of the best rock musicals ever. Now as you might have guessed by looking around All-Noise, I am not exactly an expert on the rich and wonderful world of musical theatre, but I’ve seen enough of them to know what they […]
My Chemical Romance – Danger Days: The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys Four years on from their genre defining, world conquering, Daily Mail-bothering emo opus The Black Parade, My Chemical Romance are back touting a new sound and a fresher look. Gone is the dark, angsty approach and sombre, gothic look – replaced by […]

Hurts – Stay single review Now that they’ve cemented their position as everyone’s favourite 80’s electro-pop revivalists, it’s time for Hurts to roll out the big guns and make a bid for proper stardom – and they don’t come any bigger than Stay.
