Super Goliath – ‘Destroyer Destroy Destroyed’

Metal, in its essence, should be all about breaking conventions and pushing boundaries. Bristol’s Super Goliath are well aware of this, and on their début album ‘Destroyer Destroy Destroyed’ they haven’t just torn up the rule book – through sheer sonic pummelling they’ve reduced the rule book to mere

The Lippies – ‘The Lippies’

Following the Lawrence Arms’ War on Christmas show, a fair amount of buzz was circulating regarding a band who opened up the last night with the most badass front woman, called The Lippies. Hailing from Grand Rapids, Michigan, the self-proclaimed feminist pop-punkers have been building momentum after the release

The Summer Set – ‘Stories for Monday’

On February 1st The Summer Set’s vocalist Brian Dales gushed in a blog over the admiration The Summer Set’s latest single had gotten in a matter of days. It was inevitable really since this was the first new material from the band since 2013’s ‘Legendary’. However what followed probably sent

Weezer – ‘Weezer’ [The White Album]

God damn you half-Italian boys, you do it to me every time. Release a single that elicits a mixture of confusion and wary anticipation, before following up with not so much an album, as a circular cloud of disappointment and missed opportunity. No, it hasn’t been easy to be a Weezer

Pizzatramp – ‘Late Night At Nettys’

Proclaiming to be both ‘the best punk band in the world’ as well as ‘South Wales’ drunkest band’, Newport’s Pizzatramp are a thrashy punk three piece that specialize in one to two minute blasts of chaotic two chord noise. This is DIY punk at it’s finest, releasing a number

The Used – ‘Live And Acoustic At The Palace’

It’s been a mammoth journey for The Used. A career spanning fifteen years under their belt and showing no signs of stopping, they’re one of the few emo bands of the early noughties that have not only stuck around a while, but got even better in the process. If

Rosedale – ‘Rosedale’

Rosedale, formed solely of singer Mike Liorti, has gained some serious success since his debut album ‘Real’ was released in 2012. Fast forward 4 years, through some impressive touring dedication and sharing a bill with the likes of New Found Glory, new self-titled release ‘Rosedale’ could easily win him

Flowers – ‘Everybody’s Dying To Meet You’

One could argue that the whole dream pop/shoegaze thing has been done to death lately. It almost seems all too easy for a band to crank up the distortion and make the most of their twin reverb amps. It’s a fair assumption to make, but you have to ask

World Be Free – ‘The Anti-Circle’

Although it doesn’t happen to everyone, it’s often easy to become jaded with hardcore. The longer you have been listening to it, the more you notice cookie-cutter bands that are basically style over substance, and you start to feel that the message has been lost along the way. While

O’Brother – ‘Endless Light’

It’s been 3 years since O’Brother released their excellent album, ‘Dissolution’. It was a sprawling, expansive journey, which won them critical acclaim. Naturally, there have been high expectations for its follow-up. That brings us to their new album, ‘Endless Light’. Self-described by the band as “Apocalyptic space-pop”, the opening
