  1. The problem getting gigs is that there is less and less venues and more and more bands (all genres) looking for gigs. Restrictive rules by governments and councils have seen venues close. Not being able to pay loans, licences etc and venues going bankrupt. I don't know the exact figure off the top of my head but from a show I watched recently it claimed that there is something like 65% less venues in this country than there was in the 80's and 90's.

    It's all good and well to have YT and Twitch etc but it's a very rare case world wide where a band can just start a live YT feed and suddenly be renowned all over. I could probably name a hundred live streamed shows out of this country that most people have never heard of. Likewise I'm sure plenty of people could do the same in their local area. It's not really a case of build it and they will come any more because the number of people building it makes it hard for anyone to get found.

  2. I love Overkill, they are consistent, they are reliable and they just keep going. But unfortunately that can also be their downfall. I listen to the three most recent albums quite often, but while I still think everything before Horrorscope was great I don't listen to them as much now probably because I over listened to them when they were released. Horrorscope is the only album before WDA that stays in my car all the time. I do like an Overkill live show though.

    Going to be interesting to see the reaction to DD's new album too.

    Been listening to nothing but Overkill for the past week and a half.  Today, I played the albums "Necroshine", "Ironbound" and "The Grinding Wheel".  Killer thrash. 

     I go through stages like that. Yesterday for me it was Dr. Living Dead.
