Silverstein – Arrivals and Departures

‘When Broken Is Easily Fixed’ was possibly a better record than ‘Discovering the Waterfront’. While the second record was more of a commercial success, I found it lacked any kind of staying power and my review at the time, 3/5, ended up being pretty fair as time progressed. It

Un-Scene 4 deadline extended – bands can still enter!

There’s still time to be part of Punktastic Un-Scene 4! As a homage to the legendary ‘Short Music For Short People’ compilation released on Fat Wreck Chords, we will be releasing a 99-track compilation featuring UK bands only, all doing 30-second songs. So far the likes of

A Thorn For Every Heart – It’s Hard To Move You

Don’t get me wrong, when it’s done right I love the type of music A Thorn For Every Heart churn out. Bands like Taking Back Sunday and The Used released seminal first albums six or seven years ago that influenced by musical tastes

The Skyline – Over and Out of Control

I’m not really too sure what to make of The Skyline. Influenced by Alexisonfire, Brand New and Circa Survive, they seem a little too unsure of themselves to really fit anywhere. The three songs here don’t really go anywhere – they’re
