INTERVIEW: Cancer Bats

When penning the lyrics to the future Cancer Bats anthem ‘Deathsmarch’ in the spring of 2008, that he’d be still talking about the song’s impact over 12 years later wasn’t really in the forefront of Liam Cormier’s mind. Revisiting this song in the middle of a somewhat neverending pandemic, →

Lonely The Brave – ‘The Hope List’

There can be few things more satisfying in the life of a music fan than seeing a band rise from the ashes of their previous life. For Cambridge’s Lonely The Brave, it seemed difficult to imagine anyone stepping into the place of former vocalist Dave Jakes after he left →

Frank Iero and The Future Violents – ‘Heaven Is A Place, This Is A Place’

Billed as the epilogue to 2019’s ‘Barriers’, Frank Iero and the Future Violents’ new EP, ‘Heaven Is A Place, This Is A Place’, is a tale of two halves. Side A brings with it the ferocious chaos that permeated through the group’s full-length record, while Side B →

Viagra Boys – ‘Welfare Jazz’

Eight days into 2021 and it’s still as bleak and chaotic as 2021. Some things never change. But out of the bleakness comes something new and refreshing. Something so distracting, it’s difficult not to become fully invested in it. Enter Viagra Boys. The Stockholm band have a always been a →

INTERVIEW: Bad Nerves

“I was going to turn up in shades”, Bobby Nerves says as he rolls a cigarette, “you know, do the whole rockstar thing.” He pauses before bursting into laughter and adds “I guess it doesn’t really work when I’m sitting in my childhood bedroom.” →

The Dirty Nil – ‘Fuck Art’

It’s a blessing that The Dirty Nil didn’t choose to release ‘Fuck Art’ a day earlier. If they had, they’d have been single handedly responsible for ruining countless Top 20 lists, because it’s almost impossible to imagine there are many rock fans who wouldn’t love this record. No matter →

Less Than Jake – ‘Silver Linings’

Having kept the ska-punk flag flying for the best part of 30 years, Less Than Jake have carved out a career as being a live standout for festivals all over the place – and in a year that has been filled with doom and gloom, the Gainesville brass-filled collective →

Dave Jakes – ‘Dave Jakes’

As the year finally begins to draw to a conclusion and new releases begin to slow, there are still some gems to be found and to hear the return of a voice we’ve long missed seems a more than fitting way to bring a long and testing year to →

Respire – ‘Black Line’
