ALBUM REVIEW: ‘INFINITY’ by Scarlxrd
The idea of music being cyclical isn’t a new notion, but it’s one that feels all the more pertinent given the recent surge of hip-hop artist into the rock space. […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Pretty Buff’ by Angel Du$t
On paper, Angel Du$t seems like too good of a project to pass up. For one, it’s a band consisting of members of Turnstile and Trapped Under Ice, two acts […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Only Things We Love’ by Blaqk Audio
Historically, it’s always seemed to be difficult for Blaqk Audio to get their foot in the door. Even with the star power of AFI’s Davey Havok and Jade Puget serving […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Blue Blood’ by Idiot Pilot
It’s kind of strange to have Idiot Pilot back. It’s not like they made an enormous splash over a decade ago – they’ve always been a relatively underground proposition – […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Let Light Overcome’ by Our Last Night
Oh yeah, Our Last Night do record their own material, don’t they? It’s just that it’s been so long since they’ve released anything that hasn’t been a cover that it’s […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Warpaint’ by Buckcherry
The reason that Josh Todd & The Conflict’s Year Of The Tiger surprised so much in 2017 wasn’t because it was some amazing reinvention of a formula (because it certainly […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Hexed’ by Children Of Bodom
At this point, Children Of Bodom have become possibly the worst thing that they could end up as – just another melodeath band. That’s not to say they’re bad, as […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost – Part 1’ by Foals
The Foals of a decade ago might as well be a completely different band from the one of today. When Antidotes was released in 2008, it definitely showed promise as […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Holding Absence’ by Holding Absence
Every so often, a band comes around that everyone seems so unanimously championing that it’s hard not to keep some kind of tabs on them. It’s definitely gotten more common […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Samsara’ by Venom Prison
Since coming to prominence with their debut album Animus in 2016, Venom Prison have been regularly touted as one of the shining lights of UK metal, not only on the […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘The Hands Of Time’ by The Picturebooks
Look, there’s every reason to go into an album like this expecting absolutely nothing. The Picturebooks are a two-piece that have been regularly grouped into the blues-rock and garage-rock camps, […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Letters To Our Former Selves’ by Youth Fountain
At this point, there’s not a huge amount that Youth Fountain can do to win over any detractors they might have. Pop-punk isn’t in the greatest straits as it is […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘I, The Mask’ by In Flames
In Flames are in a bit of a difficult spot at the minute, though that’s nothing new. For years now they’ve been the veritable punching bag of certain metal circles, […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Wasteland, Baby!’ by Hozier
When Hozier’s Take Me To Church first hit, it was a flooring moment. In 2013 when so much mainstream music was struggling to aim beyond pop tropes that would be […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Weezer’ (The Black Album) by Weezer
Well, we’re back here again, and it’s hard to really think of why. After all, Weezer clearly aren’t that concerned about making quality music anymore, especially when they’ve effectively weaponised […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Brain Invaders’ by Zebrahead
It’s not hard to feel like bands can sometimes go too far, and that’s not in reference to ending up in weird directions that don’t work or making particularly harsh […]
