ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Boneshaker’ by Airbourne
It was genuinely tempting to just copy and paste the intro paragraph from the last time we covered Airbourne for this review, because nothing’s changed. They still worship solely at […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘My War Is Your War’ by Deux Furieuses
It’s been a longstanding notion that times of great social and political hardship birth music that feels so much more necessary as a presence to cut through the noise, and […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘You Deserve Love’ by White Reaper
If there’s one thing that’s a sure thing about White Reaper, it’s that they clearl have confidence in themselves. Titling their previous albums White Reaper Does It Again and The […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Screamer’ by Third Eye Blind
Looking at Third Eye Blind’s more recent output paints the picture of a band thriving in the ‘90s who probably would’ve been better off leaving things alone before the turn […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Primrose Path’ by Dream State
With the sort of presence that Dream State have been building over the course of the last year or so, it’s reached a level of fever pitch where the enormity […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘The Act’ by The Devil Wears Prada
The Devil Wears Prada are so fortunate they’ve been given the chance to grow into the band they are currently. They’ve well and truly shed the identity of MySpace-forged scene-metalcore […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Fandom’ by Waterparks
It’s been so difficult to go to bat for Waterparks pretty much since the beginning. Breaking out with their Cluster EP earmarked them as a weird, interesting little pop-rock band […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Surviving’ by Jimmy Eat World
It says a lot to Jimmy Eat World’s relative lack of adventurousness that the biggest surprise with Survivng comes in how short the interim between announcement and release was. That […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Graveyard Island’ by Grade 2
On paper, it makes a lot of sense for Grade 2 to signed to Hellcat, the imprint of Epitaph run by Rancid frontman Tim Armstrong. He’s got a predilection for […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘No Virtue’ by Sights & Sounds
The prospect of new music from Sights & Sounds this year just sort of appeared, and while not unwelcome, it was certainly unexpected. They’ve not exactly been the most prolific […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Black Anima’ by Lacuna Coil
Lacuna Coil return with their new album Black Anima. Their last album, Delirium, saw the Italian alt-metallers evolve with a heavier, darker sound. This release sees Lacuna Coil’s music introduce […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘I Am’ by Toothgrinder
There seems to be a running theme with Toothgrinder where you forget how much of a welcome presence they are within hard rock and metal until they come back around. […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Metal Galaxy’ by Babymetal
Compared to how visceral it once was, the furore around Babymetal seems to have diminished greatly, inevitably to the delight of their detractors who’ll inevitably come out with notions of […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘IMMXRTALISATIXN’ by Scarlxrd
There’s no set-in-stone way to tell if an album will be bad, but rather a culmination of inklings and expectations that just so happen to come to pass. Tool hadn’t […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘A Pill For Loneliness’ by City And Colour
For all the hype that’s persisted around Alexisonfire through their reunion over the last few years, Dallas Green’s City And Colour output hasn’t been given nearly the same amount of […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Natural Disguise’ by HalfNoise
At this point, it’s difficult to work out why anyone keeps coming back to HalfNoise. There’s the draw of a solo project from Paramore drummer Zac Farro, sure, but to […]
