ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Altogether’ by Turnover
It’s surprising that Turnover haven’t seen more backlash for where their sound has gone in recent years. Peripheral Vision is still seen by many as one of the definitive releases […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Brainfreeze’ by False Advertising
It feels as though False Advertising haven’t been given a fair shake up to now, and it’s not too difficult to see why. They slot themselves into an indie-rock scene […]
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 […]

ALBUM REVIEW: ‘N.A.T.I.O.N’ by Bad Wolves
The chances are that, had Bad Wolves not released their cover of The Cranberries’ Zombie and subsequently had it absolutely blow up, they’d be nowhere near the position they currently […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Kind’ by Stereophonics
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 […]
The Soundboard Stereo – October 2019
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. […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Four Of Arrows’ by Great Grandpa
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 […]
