Idles at The Hub Plymouth
I saw Idles supporting Foo Fighters last year at the 02 arena. I thought they were bloody good, pure punk attitude, and luckily from my neck of the woods (which is devon). Sold out show, and the place was a complete brawl when the band finally kicked off.
I wouldnt say I'm a huge fan of there stuff but I wanted to see a headline show from the lot who supported the Foo's, I wasn't left disappointed.

Milkteeth at The Junction Plymouth
Milkteeth are a great band I'll always use as an example of getting better everytime I've seen them. I saw Milkteeth first time at download in a tent, wasn't overly blown away by them. saw them then support Against me! and again was left disappointed. I was about to give up on them until I saw them support creeper, and then I clicked on them and tbh they seemed to have gained a attitude which grabbed my attention. So queue the 4th time I saw milkteeth (having been supported by the fantastic Nervus, 'SHOW OF THE YEAR!!') I have now grown to love this band, I love becky, shes such a bad ass, and the rest of the band are great (esp the guitarist who broke his foot, so fair fucks to him!!) the junction isn't a huge place, tiny venue, pretty much a pub haha! but it was great to see them interact with the crowd, and generally just kick ass.

Skindred at the 02 Academy Bristol
Probably one of the best live bands ever to grace this planet, honestly everytime you see Skindred, you will either leave as a fan or just had a thoroughly great night.
Another sold out show, this was the 6th time I have seen skindred, and they were on form once again, crowd was rowdy as fuck, pits everywhere and jumps aplenty. I will say this though, when the o2 in Bristol is sold out, they really mean it, it often feels like you are in a tin of sardines, so...maybe less people next o2 as it isn't the best.

Don Broco at the Lemon Grove Exeter
Not a band I was a fan of, but after seeing them support Bring me the horizon and a huge fan of the new album, seeing Don Broco at a local show was a no brainer. Sold out show, the crowd made me feel old haha! predominately a young audience, the show started off badly with sound issues which made the band having to leave the stage for 5 mins, but after that, the show was flawless, many a pit, crowd surfer and jumper was to be seen, great show from the 'Lads of rock music.
7.5/10
Marmozets at the Lemon Grove
Having seen Marmozsts support Muse in Exeter a few years ao, I was left hating Marmozets, I thought they were bloody awful and never quite got what the hype was about. Queue a few years later I am now a solid fan of Marmozets, and to this date, they've produced my favourite album of 2018. The band were on solid form, finishing with Major system error, I look forward to what Marmozets bring in the future.
8/10
Black Peaks at the Lemon Grove
Rarely will I write a review for support acts unless they massively impress me or if I'm a fan of them. I am a fan of Black Peaks, and really wanted to see them especcially after their awesome debut album "Statues". fter the show I became a bigger fan, the lead singer, Will, can scream like a banshee and has a tache of a pornstar to boot, brilliant little session, can't wait to see a longer session at 2000 Trees
