ALBUM REVIEW: ‘45’ by Anavae
Anavae produce an immersive atmosphere combining synths, soaring vocals and rock hooks in their new album 45. The duo from London have already been gaining attention following the release of […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Rehab’ by Eskimo Callboy
Even for a band like Eskimo Callboy, naming their new album Rehab feels a bit too on-the-nose. Their brand of fratboy metalcore has never been big on subtlety, to the […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘New Age Norms 1’ by Cold War Kids
The current state of indie-rock in the US makes the proposition of a new Cold War Kids album seem a lot less attractive. Right now, the gulf between charting ‘alternative’ […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Nothing Left To Love’ by Counterparts
Counterparts’ status as hardcore mainstays has been well-earned, as a band who’ve notably matured and grown with their sound and scene over the years, but have never lost sight of […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Internal Atomics’ by Stray From The Path
Stray From The Path are not the sort of band for whom their detractors will be easily converted to. Everyone who’s aware of them at this stage knows whether they’re […]

THIS WEEK: Coldplay make a grand return with two new tracks, and there’s new music from The 1975, Hollywood Undead, Our Hollow, Our Home and more
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘N.A.T.I.O.N’ by Bad Wolves

It might sound strange and incredibly spurious, but there’s actually hope that Stereophonics can deliver some quality in 2019. It’s not because they’ve done anything to spur on such notions […]
EP REVIEW: ‘Hallucinations’ by PVRIS
The time when PVRIS could seemingly do no wrong feels like an awfully long time ago now. Their debut White Noise certainly was a great album in giving the pop-rock […]

Album release season hasn’t let up this month, and while the signs of the traditional winter slowdown do seem to be coming in effect soon, October has once again been […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Flawed Design’ by Saint Asonia
To some, Saint Asonia will inevitably represent one of the lows that US radio-rock is willing to plumb in order to cultivate recognisable names above any discernible amount of talent. […]

Emo’s continued monopoly on alternative music has brought a lot of bands to the fore who might not have necessarily made it there once upon a time, and thus it […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘The Sea Of Tragic Beasts’ by Fit For An Autopsy
The New Jersey-based Fit For An Autopsy return with their fifth studio album, The Sea Of Tragic Beasts. Having developed with hardcore influences, Fit For An Autopsy combine the intensity […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘The Dark Pool’ by Thornhill
The discussion around tech-metal, and tech-metalcore in particular, isn’t one that’s evolved all that much over time, mostly because the bands usually at the centre of that discussion have been […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘All Hail’ by Norma Jean
