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

-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 […]
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 […]

ALBUM REVIEW: LUCIFER – III

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, […]
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 […]

ALBUM REVIEW: VIDEO NASTIES – DOMINION

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 […]
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 […]

ALBUM REVIEW: VAISSEAU – HORRORS WAITING IN LINE

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 […]
There is going to be a lot of people listening to this one. Code Orange have managed to take the metal world, scooped within their hands and begun to smash it against the firmest wall possible. Their rise from ‘just’ another hardcore band, to the augmenting metallic outfit (go google what they wore to the […]

ALBUM REVIEW: HUNTSMEN – MANDALA OF FEAR

Huntsmen are from Chicago. ‘Mandala of Fear’ is their follow up to 2018’s ‘American Scrap’. Okay the facts are out the way, time for a series of head scratching remarks. Listening to this album was a challenge. Because for one, it’s 78 minutes long. 78…..minutes…….loooooooooooong. At no capacity should a new band be releasing so […]
– Yes Basement, Manchester – Humint: The opening act helps to congregate the room without windows with the post-punk-post-hardcore approach of being a mechanism that doesn’t quite work yet still works, the reverse stutter that is the drumming being the pedestal that makes this band the more rhythmically interesting of the 2 performers. Chordal descents […]
