My friend Marcus and his big bad band, Bovine, performing at the Old Blue Last, Shoreditch.

Everyone has a friend or two in bands.  You're always obligated to go.  Sometimes, just sometimes, its totally worth it.

Bovine are a head stomping metal band fresh out of Birmingham and making waves across rock music with their brand of proggish, doomish riff rock, and its all noisily good.  

I've known lead singer and guitarist Marcus since back in the day in the Motherland.  We used to haunt the same pubs, chat up the same girls, and probably shout at the same records too, although I don't remember much about being 17 anymore.

We might not be 'muckers' these days but it was great to catch up with Marc and grab a few frames of his storming band performance.

I sent him the pictures too, because sometimes its nice to do someone a favour.

Give Bovine a listen, burn your ears here.  You will also find them on Spotify, their debut LP The Sun Never Sets on the British Empire is out on FDA Rekotz.  

Good luck boys, its tough out there but you have the cajones.
