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 […]
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. […]

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 […]
Everyone loves a tale of triumph over tragedy, and Brian Christinzio (BC Camplight) has had to battle more than his fair share, from being deported from his home in the UK back to the USA to coping with mental illness, yet through it all, his music has flourished, culminating in the forthcoming album ‘Shortly After […]

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, […]
