ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Pressure’ by Wage War
Although Wage War have never been ones to test the limits of modern metalcore, they at least felt almost deserving of being dubbed prospective breakthrough leaders of the scene a […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Fear Inoculum’ by Tool
It almost feels wrong to have this album, like rock’s most elusive cryptid has finally been captured and laid bare for the world to see. It was ultimately inevitable, though; […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Smile Wide’ by ROAM
For a period, it looked as though ROAM finally had everything figured out. While their debut Backbone introduced them as a bigger presence in the scene, it didn’t do anything […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Positive Rising: Part 1’ by DZ Deathrays
If anyone had written off DZ Deathrays at this point, it’d be hard to blame them. Up to now, they’ve not done much to differentiate themselves from scores of other […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Prang’ by Gender Roles
It says a lot when there’s genuine buzz around an upcoming indie-punk band that isn’t just another product of scene inertia. Brighton’s Gender Roles may lean heavier on the punk […]

ALBUM REVIEW: ‘forevher’ by Shura
On her debut Nothing’s Real, there wasn’t much about Shura that exhibited the traditional trappings of a pop star. There were great songs there, sure, with 2Shy being the 2010s’ […]

ALBUM REVIEW: ‘No Man’s Land’ by Frank Turner
So much more has been said around this album than about it, and it’s not hard to see why. Frank Turner hasn’t exactly been averse to controversies over the past […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Atonement’ by Killswitch Engage
If there’s one word that could be best used to describe Killswitch Engage, it would be ‘reliable’. For a band considered among the forefathers of what metalcore would come to […]
What To Expect From… Reading & Leeds Festival 2019
We’re nearing the end of festival season now, and that just leaves Reading & Leeds to close the summer off with a bang. With a lineup as sprawling and diverse […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Lost Control’ by Capture
