ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Gold & Grey’ by Baroness
The notion of a critical darling is an inherently interesting one, mostly because it sets up no expectation other than runaway success. Potential failure is never seen as an option, […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘No Vacation’ by The Bottom Line
It doesn’t seem like that long ago when being a pop-punk band was virtually a guaranteed fast-track to some form of success, especially in the UK. What started out as […]
EP REVIEW: ‘Okinawan Love Songs’ by Ogikubo Station
As much as Ogikubo Station are positioned as a small side-project above anything else, there’s much more to it depending on who you ask. For one, it’s the band of […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Natural, Everyday Degradation’ by Remo Drive
Presumably what made Remo Drive stand out earlier on was their sense of confidence. They’re a band whose sound is deeply embedded the indie-rock and emo that’s built around uncertainty […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Junior’ by The LaFontaines
There’s no real easier answer to why The LaFontaines aren’t bigger than they currently are. They certainly have a fanbase (which is appropriate considering how thoroughly entertaining they can be), […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Mother Nature’ by The Dangerous Summer
With every further listen of The Dangerous Summer’s self-titled album from last year, it feels more and more like they weren’t ready to release new music when they did. Releasing […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Celebrity Mansions’ by Dinosaur Pile-Up
It’s always disheartening to see a band’s hard work simply refusing to pay off, and rarely has that been embodied more clearly than with Dinosaur Pile-Up. Since their debut Growing […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Final Transmission’ by Cave In
To an extent, it feels like Cave In needed to release an album like this. On the most surface level, it’s been eight years since White Silence dropped, and given […]
Track Pack – 3rd-9th June 2019
THIS WEEK: Pijn and Conjurer join forces to unveil their new collaborative project, and there’s new music from Boston Manor, the Pixies, Northlane and more
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Disguise’ by Motionless In White
Given their track record, it’d be tempting to call Motionless In White a singles band, but even that isn’t strictly correct. They’ve never really had consistency in anything, even for […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘CHON’ by CHON
In the seemingly perpetual war of attrition going on between Polyphia and CHON to see who can reach the highest heights through impossibly technical yet smooth and groove-driven math-rock, it […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Kind Heaven’ by Perry Farrell
If a list was to be drawn up of rock icons for whom there’d be genuine faith to deliver on a late-period solo album, it’d be scant but Perry Farrell […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘By Night’ by Plague Vendor
An interesting experiment to carry out with Plague Vendor is to see just how long each hype cycle around them lasts. For a band who are frequently the recipients of […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘sin’ by John Floreani
No one could’ve really predicted that John Floreani’s solo endeavours would’ve begun this early. That’s not to say it was totally out of the question – there’s a long and […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘The Disconnect’ by Heart Of A Coward
It’s been a rough old time for Heart Of A Coward lately, but in the current musical climate, it doesn’t seem all the shocking. Hype can only get a band […]
