EP REVIEW: YAKIMA – GO VIRTUALLY

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 […]
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 […]

ALBUM REVIEW: METH LEPPARD – WOKE

ALBUM REVIEW: MEDIUM – MEDIUM

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 […]
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 […]

ALBUM REVIEW: O ZORN! – YOUR KILLER

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 […]
Like all genres, heavy metal is reliant on something new to maintain a fresh level of creativity and excitement. Originally an extension of rock n roll, heavy metal became its own prestige and paving its own way. Being rich in history has been metals strength, also a burden. Every so often a band will release […]

ALBUM REVIEW: AERIAL SALAD – DIRT MALL

You must begin somewhere and somehow. Trials, errors, frustrations and accomplishments are a bands regular 9-5. Punk rock is an unforgiving trope, in that either you’re told ‘It isn’t punk’ or due to the nature of the sound, limited to keep within the confines of the punk aesthetic. ‘Dirt Mall’ is an interesting release by […]
-THE MET, BURY- There are only four of them. Not seven, as was previously stated. Also, they don’t even drive tractors. Like, what is going on here? Anyway, The Seven Brave Tractor Drivers performed at The Met in Bury on 31st January 2020. In short, it was a really good gig, organised by Bury Cancer […]

LIVE: THE SEVEN BRAVE TRACTOR DRIVERS – 31/01/2020

ALBUM REVIEW: EYE FLYS – TUB OF LARD

In the current state of humanity, we are sectioned off for the greater good. This greater good must be self-inflicted. Being a man of zero ‘coolness’, I’m always home. So, listening to music and avoid people (government issue by the way), I am a black belt. Thankfully, Eye Flys have unleashed ‘Tub of Lard’ for […]
Lucifer III. But I hear you ask before you open your mouth….” Where was Lucifer II or even I?” Well, the brief history of a band is that they really have yet to get off the ground into a fully touring unit (but, they’ve been to America a fair bit. The bastards). By album three, […]
