Mikal Cronin – ‘MCIII’

‘MCIII’ is the third album from noisy pop songwriter and musician Mikal Cronin. It’s bursting at the seams with indulgent orchestral arrangements and radiant pop melodies.

Elvis Depressedly – ‘New Alhambra’

If you were to take the name Elvis Depressedly at face value, it would be easy to write the lo-fi duo off as nothing more than a joke. However, once you go further into the mind of primary songwriter Mat Cothran Рaccompanied by his fianc̩ Delaney Mills

Rolo Tomassi – ‘Grievances’

It’s hard to believe that it’s been 10 years since Rolo Tomassi first emerged, and created a huge buzz among the UK underground. They were the talk of the town with their spazzy, frenetic hardcore and they offered something different to fill a void in the UK scene.

Replacing a front-man can often be incredibly difficult for bands to do without alienating some part of their fanbase. Loyalties are often split between those reluctant to accept such an obvious change to the line-up and those who are just happy that the band is continuing in one

I The Mighty – ‘Connector’

‘Connector’ seems like a fit title for I The Mighty’s second full-length record. Their debut, ‘Satori’ didn’t quite seem to grasp as much attention as it should’ve, however this time around they’ve created something special, something that will connect with people and an album that will grab you

Faith No More – ‘Sol Invictus’

For years it seemed almost impossible that Faith No More would ever make their return, and it remained but a pipe dream for their heavily dedicated fan base. They answered everyone’s prayers in 2009 with several festival and club performances, which carried on for a couple of years,
