Stray From The Path – ‘Subliminal Criminals’

Stray From The Path have been knocking over tea cups and spitting in the coffee’s of the powers that be for quite some time, but have majorly ramped it up for their seventh studio album ‘Subliminal Criminals’, an angry punch in the mouth to the shit we are

Templeton Pek – ‘New Horizons’

Birmingham Trio Templeton Pek have been at the peripheries of the mainstream for years, watching with presumed bemusement as an endless stream of British bands ascend to stardom on the back of more fashionable, but far weaker material than theirs. If 2013’s ‘Signs’ represented a lane change, consciously sanding

Frank Carter And The Rattlesnakes – ‘Blossom’

Pure Love were good, but let’s be fair, it is much better to have angry Frank back. It’s what he does best, he was born to be controversial, aggressive and incendiary. We love it and wait with baited breath for everything he says or does. Don’t be fooled, Frank

The Bastard Sons – ‘Smoke’

“T. H. E. B. A. S. T. A. R. D” shout The Bastard Sons in opening track ‘The Bastard’ on their new LP ‘Smoke’ which will have crashed through your roof all jet plane engine like on the 7th August through Kaiju Records. There has been a refreshing array

Brunel – ‘Smash On’

Brunel have been together since 2012, their beginnings rooted in the Plymouth alternative scene. ‘Smash On’ is the debut from the 4 piece. Made up with members from previous musical projects Brunel are: Jim MacGregor (vocals), John Cooper (Guitarist), Craig Smith (Bassist) and Ben Russell (Drums). They have

American Fangs – ‘Dirty Legs’

“Put your hands where my eyes can see” are the first cries of American Fangs vocalist Gabriel Cavalos seconds into opening track ‘Slavery Wedding’. With only three seconds of feedback before the track comes in with its Gallows energy-meets-Busta Rhymes lyrics, it sets the simple yet powerful tone

Thy Art is Murder – ‘Holy War’

Any long-time deathcore enthusiasts will know the ‘poster boys’ of the scene – Suicide Silence, Whitechapel and Job For A Cowboy to name some recent big ‘uns – have always taken a staunch anti-religion/government/establishment stance in their music. But with ‘Holy War’, these infamous Aussie filth-mongers are wearing

We Came As Romans – ‘We Came As Romans’

Despite often being lumped in with the whole screamo/metalcore scene, We Came As Romans have previously stood out for being more progressive musically than some of their peers. This, their fourth album, retains such elements but more often than not dispenses with them in favour of a more

Big Awesome – Party On

Party On, the debut record South Carolina’s Big Awesome, is a wonderful, accomplished record full of energy, emotion and enthusiasm. This band has produced a real gem with this 10-track emo record. The chorus on ‘What Grows Up Must Get Down’ will go round and round in your head,

Dan Andriano – Party Adjacent

Alkaline Trio has, over the years, seen a plethora of side projects from it’s small handful of members. Some have been forgettable, while others, like The Falcon, have demanded a great amount of attention. In my opinion, bassist and singer Dan Andriano’s first LP under the moniker of
