EP REVIEW: ‘Pink Magic’ by Fizzy Blood
The fact that Fizzy Blood have retroactively categorised their three EPs as a trilogy can’t help but seem odd. Granted, the band have admitted how that wasn’t planned from the […]
EP REVIEW: ‘Landslide’ by Arcane Roots
There’s no joy in saying that Landslide will be Arcane Roots’ final release, but it doesn’t come as much of a surprise either. Despite their dedicated fanbase and commitment to […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Palms’ by Thrice

ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Ascend’ by Vodun

ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Book Of Bad Decisions’ by Clutch
It’s almost become something of a cliché to say how consistent Clutch are, but it’s not wrong. Granted, feeding a combination of overblown golden age sci-fi and wailing southern Americana […]

ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Generation Rx’ by Good Charlotte
There’s always been a Peter Pan-esque quality to Good Charlotte’s music. For better or worse, appealing to the younger generations has always been at the forefront, and while on 2000’s […]
EP REVIEW: ‘Body Negativity’ by TV Coma
With rock’s sea change now reaching its peak, it’s become more obvious than ever that overblown rockstar fantasies aren’t want people want anymore, and that music grounded in realism has […]

ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Sunshine Dust’ by Skyharbor
There can’t be a worse genre to review than tech-metal. Band and album quality notwithstanding, it’s become the genre that’s produced so much repetitious material throughout its spectrum of acts, […]
EP REVIEW: ‘Private Room’ by Counterparts
It says a lot about the dedication of Counterparts’ fanbase that there’s so much excitement surrounding this release, a three-track EP of collated B-sides that barely clocks in a seven […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Glue’ by EMP!RE
If EMP!RE had released their debut full-length any later than now, it would’ve been far too late. Even if they vastly surpassed the Britrock scene of a couple of years […]
