Mutoid Man – ‘Bleeder’

The term “supergroup” is something that can get banded around half-heartedly in this day and age, just because a band is made up of members of other bands. When superlatives like that are used, it also means that the bands work doesn’t always get to shine as a

Refused – ‘Freedom’

Refused are fucking dead. Or at least, so we thought when the band unveiled those words at the head of an open letter to mark their demise in 1998. It was the end of the band and the start of a cult. The Swedish forerunners would go on

Citizen – ‘Everybody Is Going To Heaven’

It seems like only yesterday Citizen released their critically acclaimed debut ‘Youth’, which was filled with emotive lyrical musings over melodic punk sweetness, and there’s no denying it drew more than a few comparisons to a certain Long Island, NY band. In the two years that have passed

Thomas Nicholas Band – ‘Security’

The name Thomas Nicholas may not be familiar to many, but he’s still instantly recognisable as the actor who played Kevin in the American Pie films, particularly to those who were in their teens at the same time as the characters on screen. And since 2008 Thomas has
