🚨 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.

One more review to see this week off - today, we’re looking at @gunshipmusic’s new one, ‘Unicorn’.

Once again, they craft an ‘80s collage rather than a real creative statement, with a blockbuster synthwave album that rings almost entirely empty.

@bloodcommand are back with ‘World Domination’ @bloodcommand are back with ‘World Domination’, which unfortunately doesn’t live up to the aspirations in its title.

A rare misstep for them is a fairly significant one, in which the component parts of their genre-inclusive post-hardcore are isolated and extrapolated, in a fashion that doesn’t benefit them whatsoever.
