Counteract is  Birmingham based online news platform, focusing primarily on the city’s vibrant live music scene, but also covering general news, film & TV and food & drink in Brum, and the surrounding Midlands. Their aim is to shine a light on the excellent cultural scene in the UK’s second city, and give a platform to local artists and creatives.

I was really pleased to have my first article for Counteract published, as I got to embody the site’s ethos, by writing about two bands from my hometown of Stourbridge.
