ALBUM REVIEW: ‘The Goat’ by Puppy

THIS WEEK: It’s a week of returns, as Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes, The Maine, The Killers and PUP all make their comebacks, as well as new music from Yungblud, SWMRS, Blaqk Audio and more
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘It Won/t Be Like This All The Time’ by The Twilight Sad
It would be easy to talk about The Twilight Sad in the context of diminished achievements, citing an inability to grab a longstanding foothold in the industry that formed the […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Who Do You Trust?’ by Papa Roach
There’s a lot of cause to be concerned about this album. Even if you’re not a fan, it’s hard to deny that Papa Roach have managed to ride the train […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Strength In Numb333rs’ by Fever 333
Just like the socio-political world they find themselves immersed in and subsequently look to eviscerate from the inside out, there’s no standing in one place for Fever 333. Between their […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘The Last Words You Said To Me Have Kept Me Here And Safe’ by The Yacht Club
Math-rock has always been on the fringes of alternative music, be that in wider appeal or more general taste, but the last year has proven the genre to be capable […]
EP REVIEW: ‘As Within /// So Without’ by wars
Even if it wasn’t the greatest display of a new band finding their feet, there was a good deal about wars’ debut album We Are Islands, After All that suggested […]

It’s a shame to see how bands operating outside of recognised genre boundaries can often struggle to pick up much from that, but in some cases, it’s definitely understandable. There […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Penumbra’ by Khaidian
Penumbra is the debut album from London based Khaidian. This release is long over due for the metal quartet who originally formed back in 2010. Eight years of line up […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Scholars’ by Buke And Gase
To indie bands, a DIY ethos is worn like a badge of honour, representative of the efforts that have transpired from breaking away from the machine and making progress on […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Phoenix’ by Pedro The Lion
The return of Pedro The Lion isn’t one that’s felt like a particularly long time coming. Sure, fifteen years between albums would appear to be a prospect that needs to […]
EP REVIEW: ‘Kill The Sun’ by Cane Hill
The fact that Cane Hill are totally bucking against the level that a band of their size should be is one of the most wonderful things about them. A successful […]
Track Pack – 7th-13th January 2019
THIS WEEK: The first Track Pack of 2019 is headed up by Wage War and their brand new track, as well as Catfish And The Bottlemen, Millencolin, Puppy, Holding Absence, FIDLAR and Mark Morton’s much-anticipated collaboration with Chester Bennington
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Breaking Point’ by Afterlife
There’s a certain comic irony to Afterlife choosing to release their debut album now, just days before Cane Hill, the band who’ve so often been their closest and clearest reference […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘The Simulation’ by Born Of Osiris
It’s honestly quite impressive to witness Born Of Osiris’ continued dedication to their craft, not less because the tech-death bubble they’ve been so frequently nestled in has gone a long […]
