The 6th of December was another one of those days when London was spoiled for choice when it came to live music. At the Shepherd's Bush Empire, Black Stone Cherry were giving their fans a night to remember forever. Hardcore lovers could hit the Underworld, in Camden, where Counterparts, Expire, Landscapes and Knocked Loose were, without a doubt, wreaking havoc. I had chosen option number three - Australian metalcore heroes The Amity Affliction, headlining the wonderful Roundhouse.
I had heard about the Never Say Die tour, created by merchandise website and staple brand Impericon, for years, but had never found a line up that catered to my interests at the moment it was around - until the 2015 edition, that is. It is headlined by Australian metalcore outfit The Amity Affliction and also features an excellent collection of hardcore bands - Defeater, Being As An Ocean, Cruel Hand, Fit For A King and Burning Down Alaska.
