.Welcome to your weekly What's on in Kingston.  

Every Thursday we round up all the eye-catching events occurring in your area over the weekend.

Love Is Noise

Friday 12 September, The Fighting Cocks, 7pm start.

The Fighting Cocks is located on Old London Road (Image supplied)

LOVE IS NOISE is an exercise in empathy, both lyrically and musically. The band's Century Media debut, To live in a different way, straddles the roughshod riffing and volume of their DIY origins while embracing shoegaze-facing melodiousness, hints of Brit-pop, and a beating (and bleeding) heart erupting from Cam Humphrey's plaintive vocals.
