ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Immortal’ by Lorna Shore
The conversation around Lorna Shore’s Immortal has been surrounded by the uncertainty of whether it would ever actually see the light of day at all. It comes in the wake […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘27 Miles Underwater’ by Higher Power
The ever-competitive world of UK hardcore has meant that some bands have had a briefer time in the spotlight than they perhaps should have, or even been muscled out of […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Power’ by Twin Atlantic
For a band as wide-appealing and seemingly innocuous as Twin Atlantic, tracing the results of their recent past paints a picture of band currently on the ropes. GLA might have […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Hurry Up And Wait’ by Dune Rats
There’s definitely worth to simplicity in music. Not every album has to be some complex, multi-layered odyssey, either musically or lyrically, and embracing that notion while still being appealing and […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Forever Whatever’ by October Drift
The path taken by October Drift up to now is a well-trodden one, getting their sea legs on the blogosphere where the amicable but tremendously misguided practice of giving everything […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘The Neon Skyline’ by Andy Shauf
This is the sort of album that’s so easy to dread talking about, as the chances of having absolutely nothing to say are so high. The singer-songwriter genre tends to […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘More. Again. Forever.’ by Courteeners
There’s really no reason that the Courteeners should’ve lasted as long as they have. They themselves might take it as a compliment, but it’s easy enough to draw tight parallels […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Everything Else Has Gone Wrong’ by Bombay Bicycle Club
The shifting indie tides have never been all too considerate to Bombay Bicycle Club who, despite being beloved by their fans, haven’t been a significant presence within the genre in […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Manic’ by Halsey

ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Fall Better’ by Vukovi
If it feels like Vukovi’s rise hasn’t been nearly as meteoric as some of their peers, that’s because the path they’ve travelled to get to here has had a fair […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Football Money’ by Kiwi Jr.
It’s somewhat strange that more hasn’t been made of Kiwi Jr.’s built-in indie clout. Usually in situations like this, the boon of Alvvays’ Brian Murphy serving as guitarist would be […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘UR FUN’ by of Montreal
There’s been fewer more convincing examples of how to royally deflate a career than of Montreal. Since 2007’s Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer? which had a very real shot […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘20/20 Vision’ by Anti-Flag
It makes a lot of sense that Anti-Flag are starting 2020 on this exact footing. They’re a band who’ve been extremely and unceasingly critical of the US government and their […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘I Disagree’ by Poppy
There’s so much going on around this album that it’s difficult to know where to start. For one, the artistic trajectory of Poppy is one that barely makes a lick […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Jumpstart Hope’ by InMe
Of all the relics of Britrock’s 2000s halcyon days, InMe feel like a band who realistically shouldn’t have lasted as long as they have. That’s not to denigrate the efforts […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘The Private Memoirs And Confessions Of The Just Joans’ by The Just Joans
A running theme with early January releases is that there tends to be a reason they’re put out at this time. Typically it’s a result of opportunism, either from bands […]
