Omaha – ‘Young Hearts’

Recently, Leicester-based quintet Omaha have been turning heads and building up an incredible buzz. It started with their 2015 release ‘Chapters’ and has intensified during tours with Leopards and D At Sea, culminating in a huge following and plenty of hype.

PVRIS – ‘White Noise (Deluxe Version)’

More than half a year since the original, PVRIS have re-released their debut album ‘White Noise’ as a deluxe version. Sounding even bigger and better than they already did, it’s hard to find faults with a band who are (definitely worth of a cliché and) destined for greatness. Fans are

The Caulfield Cult – ‘Cult’

Singapore’s The Caulfield Cult, far from being just that band that gave inspiration to Bring Me The Horizon’s ‘That’s The Spirit’ logo, offer up their most accomplished sound to date on their third almost-eponymous full-length, ‘Cult’. Seemingly waving goodbye to their iconic umbrella, if the album-art is anything to

Britney – ‘Britn3y’

It’s been a long, arduous road of a career for Britney. From the scandalous naughty-schoolgirl music video for ‘…Baby One More Time’ to the infamous head-shaving meltdown of 2007, it’s stunning Ms Spears is still… Wait… No, sorry. That’s not right at all. Apologies. The Britney we’re actually here

Yndi Halda – ‘Under Summer’

Purple – ‘Bodacious’

Purple are cool. Seriously cool. Single-handedly driving the Texas lo-fi scene and seeing praise from all corners of the globe, the release of their second album, ‘Bodacious’, is a big moment for more than the punk rock trio. After the heavily surf-rock influenced ‘(409)’, ‘Bodacious’ sees a small shift in

Nada Surf – ‘You Know Who You Are’

There’s always been a feeling that Nada Surf should have been much bigger than they are really are. Perhaps they are your favourite band already, which would be understandable, because they know how to write a great song. Following their hit single ‘Popular’ in the late nineties, they celebrated

Maple Hill – ‘Headspace’

You do have to feel for a band trying to make their breakthrough. When it comes to pop-punk and some of the big hitters such as New Found Glory are still going strong and the likes of All Time Low are continuing to bounce back from mid-career stumbles, it

Audacity – ‘Hyper Vessels’

When you hear that an album has the word “hyper” in the title, you expect nothing less than a ballistic experience. If that is what you are looking for then Californian punk band Audacity are here to help with that. From the moment you hit play on ‘Hyper Vessels’
