Paramore – ‘This is Why’

Life comes at you fast, doesn’t it? One moment, you’re fifteen, what feels like near limitless opportunities have just opened up to you and youthful invincibility has taken hold. The next, you’re thirty, and there’s a weariness tangled in your bones like you’ve walked through cobwebs. For Hayley Williams

You Me At Six – ‘Truth Decay’

Opening with the aptly named track ‘Deep Cuts’, the eighth studio album from imperishable You Me At Six, ‘Truth Decay’, represents a cathartically anthological retrospective of their journey, through the best part of 20 years in the British rock scene.

Other Half – ‘Soft Action’

The dreaded sophomore slump is a real thing. Will a band’s follow-up album hit as heavy as their debut release? Will they be able to build on the foundations of songs that made their name? For Norwich natives Other Half, the answer is a resounding yes. ‘Soft Action’ not

Chelsea Grin – ‘Suffer In Hell’

It feels like deathcore maestros Chelsea Grin have been gone a long time. Well, they sort of have – their last album ‘Eternal Nightmare’ was released in 2018, they released the standalone singles ‘Bleeding Sun’ and ‘Blind Kings’ during the pandemic in 2020, and though the hunger
