ALBUM REVIEW: ‘MCID’ by Highly Suspect
There’s actually a fair bit to be concerned about when it comes to a new Highly Suspect album. On paper, that might seem unjustified given how much of a breath […]
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: ‘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: ‘Walk The Sky’ by Alter Bridge

ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Boneshaker’ by Airbourne
It was genuinely tempting to just copy and paste the intro paragraph from the last time we covered Airbourne for this review, because nothing’s changed. They still worship solely at […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘I Am’ by Toothgrinder
There seems to be a running theme with Toothgrinder where you forget how much of a welcome presence they are within hard rock and metal until they come back around. […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Easter Is Cancelled’ by The Darkness
It seems strange to praise The Darkness in the same short space of time as lashing Steel Panther’s latest, seeing as the two both fall on the same side of […]

ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Victorious’ by Skillet
Let’s just come out with it right away – Skillet are awful. Always have been, most likely always will be. In a hard rock scene that wears its lack of […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Rewind, Replay, Rebound’ by Volbeat
The current situation with Volbeat is that they should be a lot better than are, but they’re stuck in a hard rock field that rarely accommodates for the innovation they’re […]
