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 […]

ALBUM REVIEW: O ZORN! – YOUR KILLER

ALBUM REVIEW: WAKE – DEVOURING RUIN

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 […]
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 […]

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, […]

EP REVIEW: SEA GIRLS – UNDER EXIT LIGHTS

When listening to this new EP by up and comers Sea Girls, I had a sense of deja-vu, I feel like I have heard this before strangely. The reason for this is simple, I have heard it before in every other indie band trying to make a name for themselves recently. This isn’t necessarily a […]
Breaking out of a Scouse drinking pit, from the remnants of SSS, Iron Witch and The Bendal Interlude, it’s Video Nasties! The house band to John Carpenter have unleashed their ferocious debut. The ideal listening material for a night of whisky, eerie atmosphere and a severe lack of interest in a well-lit room, this is […]

ALBUM REVIEW: VIDEO NASTIES – DOMINION

ALBUM REVIEW: MOANING – UNEASY LAUGHTER

Moaning. I know the concept very well. I have crafted it to a fine point, that it can transcend and become an entirely new life force from its mere rumbling of my ‘thoughts’. Moaning the band, have unleashed their full debut ‘Uneasy Laughter’ and second release on fabled label, Sub Pop. Just like the album […]
Vaisseau are a synth/doom duo from Brest, France. Now that I have lost some of you with the word synth, what is this album and why did I listen to this album a few times. To start, I don’t know much about synth music and its current rise in popularity, but it seems to be […]
