ALBUM REVIEW: STUCK – CHANGE IS BAD

Oh, hello Post-Hardcore. What’s that?? Another new band coming under this so-called moniker. What the bloody hell is ‘post punk’ actually?? Doesn’t it seem distracting to have a ‘post punk’ and ‘punk’ genre existing at same time? Honestly, the more I delve and listen too, I can’t help but wonder what fickle, desperate, hollow trap […]
As I watch a strand from a wrapper that contains custard creams, twitch gleefully from my heartbeat as I lean on the desk, I realise that it’s either day 19 or I’m officially mad. Speaking of something that has 19 in it, album releases are becoming seriously affected by a current event. The release of […]

ALBUM REVIEW: BLACK CURSE – ENDLESS WOUND

EP REVIEW: HALLOWS – SUBTLE

You can call it Darkwave, you can call it post-Punk, but just for you, I’ll keep it simple. It’s 1980’s synth pop influenced. Now you have that lodged in the mind (because it’s all you need to avoid the ridiculous notion of inventing a new genre because you need to feel superior), this is Hallows […]
I probably complain about genres more than maybe is necessary. But I cannot help feeling it’s just for marketing purposes only. As anyone donating their time to the unknown, you need the picture to be formed as a simple structure, and you build upon that. Krv’s self-titled burst is very much giving me the genre […]

ALBUM REVIEW: SOON – WHAT THE FUCK DID WE DO TO THE EARTH

Hawaii, the multiple island state of the US. Known for luaus, hula dancing and surfing. An apparent laid back, easy going place. So, when an album of breakneck pace releases, and it’s shorter than the time it takes me to pick “what band shirt am I today”, it’s something that can be considered an anomaly. […]
Chanelling the spirit of Teenage Fanclub, The Beach Boys and Slowdive, dream pop with an effervescent jangle comes blasting out of the speakers on Yakima’s debut EP ‘Go Virtually’. The Glasgow quartet have already toured with the likes of Pottery and their woozy laidback sounds are captured in all their Big Star-esque glory on this […]

ALBUM REVIEW: METH LEPPARD – WOKE

Puns! We all like them. They lighten the mood, an example of a positive introduction into someone’s personality. Music is no different. When presented with humour as a concept to their music, it adds a side into what you maybe in for. Meth Leppard (pun one), a jagged two-piece from Adelaide, Australia are here for […]
Medium. No longer just a t-shirt size, a difficulty setting on a video game or a spirit channelling idealist. No, a frantic crash straight out of Argentina and on a very underrated record label in Transcending Obscurity Records. This is a short and sweat filled release. Medium’s self-titled debut is a maniacal laugh in that […]

ALBUM REVIEW: TOPS – I FEEL ALIVE

During the current crisis that has gripped the world, people have taken to different forms of entertainment to preserve their sanity. People look to nostalgia for some sense of comfort and whilst the classics are always needed, sometimes it’s good to look for something new. This new LP from four-piece Canadian indie-rock outfit TOPS is […]
O Zorn! Not a slip of the keyboard, but a suspicious band rolling out of California who took it upon themselves to be named from the Watership Down glossary of Lapine, the language of rabbits. So, from my googling I stumbled across that O Zorn!’s debut ‘Self-Titled’ album in 2018, was one the best metal […]
