EP REVIEW: ‘Skin & Bones’ by All Ears Avow
It’s strange to see how quickly and comfortably All Ears Avow are moving into the realms of a potentially great, potentially huge alt-rock prospect. It’s certainly not a bad thing […]
EP REVIEW: ‘Crevassian’ by Crevassian
As much as the phrase “instrumental post-rock band” has been worn down to basic nothingness over time given the number of acts it’s applied to, it continues to feel like […]
Track Pack – 3rd-9th December 2018
THIS WEEK: La Dispute take the lead on the final Track Pack of the year, along with new music from Weatherstate, Blood Youth, Deaf Havana, Chase Atlantic and more
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘The Stratosphere Beneath Our Feet’ by Atlas : Empire
It’s hard to think of a time that’s been better for intelligent, progressive alt-rock than right now. Biffy Clyro have been leading the charge for a while, but Arcane Roots […]
EP REVIEW: ‘The Missing Man’ by AFI
At this point, AFI are too big and well-loved to have an outright failure on their hands, but if anything can equate to that in modern times, it’d be last […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Anthropocene’ by Wilderness Hymnal
Atmosphere is imperative in the presentation of most, if not all music, but when it becomes the primary focus, it can become more difficult to create something truly compelling. It’s […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Breathe Again’ by Ravenface
Not many bands can go five years without releasing music and still manage to drum up some kind of hype, but clearly Ravenface are luckier than most. It wouldn’t be […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Feed The Fire’ by BillyBio
As much as the adage of “don’t judge a book by its cover” applies to music, it’s hard not to go into a blind listen of BillyBio’s Feed The Fire […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘A Million Degrees’ by Emigrate
There’s been a distinct feeling with Emigrate’s more recent output that they’re really trying to overcompensate. The original selling point with their self-titled debut in 2007 was that this was […]
EP REVIEW: ‘Virtue’ by William Ryan Key
In a way, it feels like William Ryan Key knows his solo career didn’t get off to the best of starts. Thirteen felt incredibly anaemic, especially for a debut release, […]
Track Pack – 26th November-2nd December 2018
THIS WEEK: The revamped Milk Teeth release their brand new single, SWMRS gear up for the release of their second album, and there’s new music from AFI, Buckcherry, Void Of Vision, Crystal Lake, JAWS and the first Christmas song of the year
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships’ by The 1975
As insufferable as the narrative can be surrounding The 1975 being the quintessential musical representation of modern life, both from journalists and – more vehemently and often less eloquently – […]
The Soundboard Stereo – November 2018
With things naturally slowing down to a crawl at the end of the year, it’s usually the time to look back on what’s come along over the last year to […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Recipes From The Bible’ by Irk
In what is perhaps among the most obvious statements ever to be made, noise-rock bands are never going to be commercial darlings. To do so usually requires a fairly drastic […]
EP REVIEW: ‘Procreate // Annihilate’ by I Am Pariah
Procreate // Annihilate is the sophomore EP from metal trio, I Am Pariah. Originating from Stoke-on-Trent, Bassist Dave Snell describes their new release thusly: “The EP title is relevant to […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Forever Marching Backwards’ by Battalions
