Bring Me The Horizon – ‘That’s The Spirit’

It’s OK! You can stop screaming now. The day has come. Bring Me The Horizon have finally released their latest offering on Sony entitled ‘That’s The Spirit’, following a staggering buildup for the drop.

Luna Sol – Blood Moon

The phrase “a breath of fresh air” is often overused these days, but with Luna Sol no other description could be truer. Something of a super-group, (containing members of: Supafuzz, The Feds, The Swanks & The Swindlers), Luna Sol supply an album of constant stoner rock grooves as well

Black Sabbath – ‘Black Sabbath’ / ‘Paranoid’ / ‘Master Of Reality’ Reissues

The Wonder Years – ‘No Closer To Heaven’

The Wonder Years didn’t just release the best pop-punk album of 2013. With ‘The Greatest Generation’, the Philadelphian sextet blurred the lines between the alternative, the mainstream and the universally heralded. Appearing on a broad range of end of year lists, the album demonstrated art in a world often

Disturbed – ‘Immortalized’

At the turn of the century, the nu-metal sub genre appeared seemingly out of nowhere and took the underground world by storm. However as quickly as it rose like a phoenix, it would ultimately fall like a turkey and become a mockery of itself. There would be some

Teenage Time Killers – ‘Greatest Hits Vol. 1’

Although this album was promoted as being a supergroup formed with the likes of Corey Taylor, Randy Blythe, Dave Grohl, Jello Biafra and a whole host of other people who have more money than you do, it listens more like a compilation album of a few different bands.
