🚨 REVIEW ROUND-UP 🚨

We’re wrapping up this week with a load of solid stuff across the genre spectrum, coming from @STARBENDERS, @sydneysprague and Values Here. Unfortunately, despite some cool ideas, @TheWytches’ new one doesn’t quite match up.

☀️ ALBUM REVIEW: @PKEWX3 - ‘Siiick Days’ ☀️

The apex of alt-punk proves somewhat difficult for Pkew Pkew Pkew to hit, as an otherwise solid-enough new album finds itself dampened by the sheer might of the competition around it.

Something big and atmospheric today - we’re look Something big and atmospheric today - we’re looking at @spurvband’s new album ‘Brefjære’.

The breadth and beauty of Nordic post-rock is on full display here, held even higher by its own exploration and decadence.
