Whilst the early months of 2013 continue to be snow covered and hard work at best, we thought we’d head back into 2012 and bring you a selection of highlights from the annual events calendar.

Starting things off we have Sam Ashley’s handpicked selection of stills from May’s weekend long beatdown of Scottish indoor establishments known as War of the Thistles, which also includes a few transitional bangers from the ‘Road to War’ mission we embarked upon beforehand with a gaggle of Monster UK types. Have a browse of the gallery below now, and scroll below that to check the three edits the trip also produced.

Stay tuned for more event galleries from 2012 – dropping soon…
