ALBUM REVIEW: ‘You Took The Sun When You Left’ by Leeched
When important music tackling the modern world’s ills is needed most, and when metal and hardcore are at a more exciting place than they have been in years, there’s hardly […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Tasty Nasty’ by Wilson
Quite a bit of context is needed to work out how Wilson arrived here. Their 2013 debut Full Blast Fuckery was easily one of the most underrated of that year, […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Danse Macabre’ by Baest
It must be difficult to be a new death metal band. In a subgenre where originality or innovation is less important than with many others, it can be tempting to […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Thank You For Today’ by Death Cab For Cutie
For as unassuming of an artist as Ben Gibbard is, the impact and longevity he’s had on emo and indie-rock can’t be ignored. Neither his music or personality has ever […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘At Weddings’ by Tomberlin
As intrinsically linked as music and religion have often been, it’s become increasingly rare to see the two commingling in any great capacity. There’ll be the odd country or hip-hop […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Alright Already’ by Polish Club
Given the calamitous boom-and-bust in demand for lo-fi, two-piece bands, particularly in the UK, it’s little wonder that Polish Club’s debut is only just getting its worldwide release now after […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Repulsion For Humanity’ by Sinsaenum
There’s a lot to be excited about when it comes to Sinsaenum’s second album, and a fair bit of that is due to how strong last year’s Ashes EP was. […]
EP REVIEW: ‘Concrete Kingdoms’ by Concrete Kingdoms
It tends to be worth going into bands like Concrete Kingdoms with tempered expectations. Not only does a hard rock band primarily fixated on influences from multiple decades ago and […]
EP REVIEW: ‘Better Days’ by PVMNTS
PVMNTS seem to be the latest in a curious trend running through alternative music at the moment, that being actors focusing their attention on making music. It’s nothing new at […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘The Bliss’ by Room 1985
It’s hard to know where to even start with a band like this, mostly because it’s another case of a band setting themselves almost unfeasibly high expectations. Even so, it […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Ghost City’ by Delta Sleep
For a band whose name comes from the transitional stage between light and deep sleep, Delta Sleep aren’t lacking in interesting, captivating material. Not only did their debut Twin Galaxies […]
EP REVIEW: ‘Mimi’ by Bad Rabbits
If there’s a band in the 2010s more underrated than Bad Rabbits, they’re yet to make themselves known. American Love was the sort of fat-free, borderline-flawless debut that would run […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Chasing The Horizon’ by Man With A Mission
Ask anyone who’s had any sort of prior exposure to Man With A Mission what the first thing they associate with them is, and more likely than not, music will […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Thornstar’ by Lord Of The Lost
Thornstar is the sixth studio album from German metallers Lord Of The Lost. Incorporating industrial, gothic and synth elements, their sound is dark with immense depth both in the instrumentation […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘The Great Depression’ by As It Is
For as much as they’ve been pushed by the industry machine as yet another crop of handsome pop-punk boys, the niggling feeling that As It Is want more than that […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Rituals’ by Deaf Havana
There are plenty of legitimate reasons to be worried about this album, and initially, that sounds absolutely ridiculous. After all, this is Deaf Havana here, the band that’s made one […]
