You’ll Live – ‘Moving Past This’

Throughout the mid to late 90’s, the punk scene experienced the birth of a new sub-genre, which for better or worse became known as “screamo”. While bands denounced the term, it’s easy to see why those who used raw and abrasive hardcore punk to soundtrack emotionally charged lyrics

Blacklisters – ‘Adult’

Trying to describe the noise rock genre to anyone who isn’t in the know is always a difficult task. It has a history rooted in both grunge and punk, and while drawing heavily from each world, it is more than just a fusion of the two. The best

Chelsea Wolfe – ‘Abyss’

It’s strange to think that the career of Chelsea Wolfe has only been prevalent over the last five years, especially considering the high acclaim that the U.S singer-songwriter has gained. In this relatively short time frame she has released four albums, along with several extended plays, and given

Blessthefall – ‘To Those Left Behind’

Arizona rockers Blessthefall have been knocking about for a few years now. Those years have seen them go through line-up changes, which saw vocalist Beau Bokan take over from Craig Mabbitt, the current vocalist of Escape the Fate; play various tours, supporting the likes of Alesana, Norma Jean,

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

Lets just get one thing straight from the start; Black Sabbath are the greatest heavy rock band that the UK has ever produced. Sure, Led Zeppelin were revolutionary, Motorhead crossed the boundaries punk and metal, and Iron Maiden’s flair for dramatic showmanship is insurmountable, but Black Sabbath’s iconic

Against Me – ’23 Live Sex Acts’

​”Let’s fuck shit up.” With those four words, Laura Jane Grace addressed the audience in the introduction to 23 Live Sex Acts more than she did on most of 2006’s Americans Abroad. Upon hearing that, I was very open to this newfound desire to connect. Laura has a damn

FIDLAR – ‘Too’

FIDLAR are growing up, and aren’t sure what to do about it. Perhaps slightly presumptuous, yet evidence for this is dotted all over their sophomore album ‘Too’. The carefree frivolity that characterised their self-titled debut has been watered down by adult anxieties. The drug ode opener and lead single ‘40oz.
