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 […]
EP REVIEW: ‘Ill Minds, Vol. 2’ by Black Coast
This is possibly the best time that Black Coast could’ve chosen to release their new EP. Ill Minds, Vol. 1 was the sort of undeniably strong work that greased 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 […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Ulfilas’ Alphabet’ by Sundara Karma
There’s always a chance that albums like this can go horribly wrong. It’s been said before (and no doubt when Circa Waves release their next album in a few weeks, […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘III’ by Masked Intruder
Y’know, anyone new to Masked Intruder and going in off the details surrounding the music rather than the music itself would more than likely write them off immediately. They’re a […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Anesthetic’ by Mark Morton
The more thought that goes into Mark Morton’s Anesthetic, the more it feels like the promotion has been completely mismanaged. On paper, an album like this could easily sell itself, […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Optimal Lifestyles’ by Pkew Pkew Pkew
It could’ve been easy to write off Pkew Pkew Pkew on first impressions alone. Not only could the unwieldy moniker be a pretty considerable turn-off right away, but for the […]
Track Pack – 18th-24th February 2019
THIS WEEK: The Damned Things make their long-awaited return, alongside new tracks from New Found Glory, The Dangerous Summer, Vukovi, Simple Creatures and more
EP REVIEW: ‘a modern tragedy vol. 2’ by grandson
With every new crossover success story that emerges, it only makes the term more and more worthless. Sure, attempting to break down genre boundaries is a noble goal, but there […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘OK, I’m Sick’ by Badflower
It’s no great revelation that modern hard rock has lost so much of the edge it claims to still have, and when considering the bands being pushed as its greatest […]
