EofE – ‘EofE’

EofE have been steadily developing a dedicated fan base for the last two years and have finally realised their self-titled debut album, ‘EofE’. Is it exciting? Perhaps not, but they are another reason why British rock is something that remains a popular and accessible genre. ‘Get Caught’ storms in

Tellison – ‘Hope Fading Nightly’

It’s been four years since the last Tellison album, ‘The Wages of Fear’. An album which in a just world would have sent them into the stratosphere (or at least its sonic equivalent, the Radio 1 ‘A’ playlist). Sadly, we live in a world where justice is

CHON – ‘Grow’

In the past seven years, Californian quintet CHON have blossomed from playing home shows to touring with acts such as Animals As Leaders and Circa Survive. They drew from their experience on the road to release their first EP, ‘Newborn Sun’, in 2013, followed by EP ‘Woohoo!’ the

Clutch – ‘Psychic Warfare’

Clutch were born in 1991 as an angry, lyrically motivated hardcore Punk band; their metamorphosis has seen them experiment with Blues, Jazz and hard Rock, which is highly commendable and a donned cap in their direction is more than required. Clutch is Clutch, and if it wasn’t with

New Years Day – ‘Malevolence’

Over the past few years female fronted rock bands have been on the rise; from the likes of pop-rockers Hayley Williams (Paramore) and Jenna McDougall (Tonight Alive), to the growls of Becca Macintyre (Marmozets) and Lynn Gunn (PVRIS), it seems the pool is only getting

End of Daze – ‘Ascension’

Weymouth quintet ‘End of Daze’ have unveiled their new 9 track Album ‘Ascension’, and right from the get-go, its pretty clear that these boys are ambitious. The first track of the album, ‘Intro’, wouldn’t feel completely out of place on a movie score, leading in with a ticking

The Dear Hunter – ‘Act IV: Rebirth In Reprise’

The Dear Hunter are an interesting band. Originally a side-project for frontman Casey Crecenzo, he’s since started channelling all of his musical efforts into this band after leaving The Receiving End of Sirens, and has gone on to release six albums with The Dear Hunter. Four of these

Northcote – ‘Hope Is Made Of Steel’

Canadian singer-songwriter Matthew Goud is by no means alone in his endeavour, bringing heartfelt lyrics and melodies to the masses through guitar driven folk-punk. In fact, his Xtra Mile Recordings home sees him sit immediately against veteran contemporaries that outstretch the six years since his debut ‘Borrowed Chords, Tired

Deafheaven – ‘New Bermuda’

Before you have even hit play on ‘New Bermuda’, you can almost hear the tapping of incessant keyboard warriors, readying their abhorrent comments regarding Deafheaven’s third LP. Ultimately, they will be expecting the band to fail, and trying to find as many ways to use the stomach churning

Parkway Drive – ‘IRE’

Parkway Drive, a name that the majority of heavy metal fans and metal fans alike will know, they’ve been around now for over 12 years, it’s hard to not know who they are. The band began in 2003, rising from the depths of New South Wales (Australia) and
