GALLERY: Bruise Control – ‘BRUISE CONTROL’

Some days you may feel a bit slow. Some days you might be as sharp as a tack. But not today. You may have said it at least three times out loud before you realise; Bruise Control’– it’s a pun. Thankfully, even if you’re feeling slow, the →

GALLERY: Atlas – ‘SUNDER’

Winter is the worst time of year. Christmas falls at its halfway point, a celebration of its ending, almost as though we’re saying “Thank god, the light is returning.” Things are different in Finland. Toward the arctic circle, the sun is shrouded by the horizon. For fifty →

GALLERY: Converge – ‘Love Is Not Enough’

Nine years have passed since the release of Converge’s last album, ‘The Dusk In Us’. While the more recent ‘Bloodmoon: I’ – the band’s admirably ambitious collaboration with Chelsea Wolfe – prevented the passing of a near-decade of Converge-less time, the wait for a new Converge album proper has →

GALLERY: Mariachi El Bronx – ‘Mariachi El Bronx IV’

The absolutely beautiful thing about Mariachi El Bronx is that they were never a one-trick pony. For a band that could easily have fallen into parody, they’ve consistently been able to rise above their detractors with smart, sharp melodies that are practically scented with their love of mariachi culture, →

GALLERY: Story Of The Year – ‘A.R.S.O.N.’

Seven years is a long time to hold your breath. Dingwalls is packed to its sweat-slicked rafters with fans clutching £8 pints who’ve been waiting since 2018 for Marmozets to return, and the air crackles with the kind of nervous excitement that only comes when a beloved →

GALLERY: YAKKIE – ‘Kill The Cop Inside Your Head’

It’s no surprise that DIY punk supergroup YAKKIE’s debut offering, ‘Kill The Cop Inside Your Head’, is a political, feminist melting pot of anti-capitalist rage. The band is fronted by Dream Nails founder Janey Starling, who returns to the stage after stepping away from making music to focus on →

GALLERY: Gogol Bordello – ‘We Mean It, Man!’

It’s a truth universally acknowledged that when Eugene Hutz of Gogol Bordello is angry, he makes his best music. See; 2022’s ‘Solidaritine’, released the same year as Hutt’s homeland of Ukraine was invaded by Russia, which saw Gogol Bordello wrestling with loss and rage. Four years later, and they’re →
