ALBUM REVIEW: ‘The Great War’ by Sabaton
Are Sabaton the most typecast band on the planet? They certainly could be given how every one of their releases to date has been centred around war in some capacity, […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Sudden Sky’ by Crown The Empire
Even by the standards of ephemeral scene metalcore, Crown The Empire have always had a rough time. Compared to similarly flashy acts like Motionless In White or Issues, they’ve never […]
LIVE REVIEW: UK Tech-Fest 2019 @ Showground, Newark – 4th-8th July 2019

ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Solutions’ by K.Flay
In the ever-expanding, increasingly vapid void of modern indie-pop, K.Flay’s presence has always been one that’s baffled to no end. That’s hardly a revelatory statement when talking about this brand […]

ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Retaliation’ by Hyvmine
Retaliation is the new full-length album from Hyvmine. This progressive metal band, hailing from LA, bring a unique sound to the scene; few bands attempt to combine hard rock with […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Daydream Explosion’ by The Dollyrots

ALBUM REVIEW: ‘BONES UK’ by BONES UK

ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Hotel Diablo’ by Machine Gun Kelly
At the risk of kicking someone while they’re well and truly down, why is Machine Gun Kelly still trying? It’s hard to see how he could try and salvage anything […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Shuffle’ by Jamie Lenman
Credit to Jamie Lenman – he never does anything by halves. Compared to the relatively straightforward post-hardcore during his time in Reuben (which, even then, is doing no justice to […]
EP REVIEW: ‘Modern Conversation’ by Decay
As admittedly tiresome as the seemingly never-ending string of new emo bands gets, it’s at least somewhat comforting that there’s usually a benchmark of quality adhered to. Unlike pop-punk or […]
EP REVIEW: ‘Alpha // Survivor’ by Drown This City
For newer bands, there can be nothing more important than making a good early impression. Not only does it solidly establish what’s to come from them in the future, but […]
EP REVIEW: ‘A Playground For Sad Adults’ by Phoxjaw
Usually the line to initially roll out for reviews like this is “this band should be much bigger than they are”, but Phoxjaw do often seem like an exception to […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Metawar’ by 3TEETH
