Alexisonfire – ‘Otherness’

About ten years ago, Alexisonfire broke the hearts of the post-hardcore adoring masses all over the globe when they revealed that they’d be going on an indefinite hiatus. A band that had touched and inspired a generation of misunderstood and misrepresented youth, coming to a gut-wrenching halt in

Petrol Girls – ‘Baby’

When bringing ideas together for their third record ‘Baby’, Petrol Girls vocalist Ren Aldridge was conscious that she had lost her “fun side” and wanted to make something a little less intense than 2019’s excellent ‘Cut & Stitch’. Petrol Girls have always been at the forefront of confrontational, outspoken

Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows – ‘Destroy Rebuild’

More than ten years on since debut album ‘D.R.U.G.S.’ took the world by storm and, well, a lot has changed in the world. The failure to follow up on their debut outing always felt like a huge missed opportunity – so the biggest question surrounding their long-anticipated second release

Nova Twins – ‘Supernova’

It’s hard to believe that it’s only been a couple of years since London duo Nova Twins dropped their debut album. 2020’s ‘Who Are The Girls?’ was met with an exceptional reception and did wonders for the profiles of Amy Love (vocals and guitar) and Georgia South

Moodring – ‘Stargazer’

Often music trends come and go in cycles – “what old, is new again”. With an ethereal mix of grunge, rock, metal, and shoegaze in their sound, emerging Floridian quartet Moodring is stylistically reminiscent of years gone by. However, their debut full-length, ‘Stargazer’, is far from a nostalgic blast

Joyce Manor – ’40 oz. to Fresno’

In the age of the sprawling double album, stretched out to boost streaming numbers, followed up by a ‘Deluxe’ that tacks on a few extra loosies that likely should never have left the cutting room floor, it’s a breath of fresh air listening to the excellent new

Thornhill – ‘Heroine’

Ah, the humble sophomore album, a release that’s certain to inspire dread in its author. How does one approach it? Continue the path previously walked? Reinvent the wheel? For Australia-based Thornhill, a mix-up is certainly in order. Coming off a rather successful first endeavour in 2019, the

Cave In – ‘Heavy Pendulum’

In 2019, Cave In released their final studio album ‘Final Transmission’ following the tragic death of their long-time bassist Caleb Scofield. After a glittering career that saw them show the world their signature blend of powerful hardcore mixed with atmospheric rock, the loss of Scofield was too much

Static Dress – Rouge Carpet Disaster

If you’ve got through the last few years without seeing the name Static Dress crop up somewhere, you’ve either been stuck inside for the last two years (good joke, right) or you’ve not been paying any attention to anything at all whatsoever. Having performed alongside a huge range

Cage Fight – ‘CAGE FIGHT’

You sit on the side-lines wanting to get stuck in. Two opposing fighters, locked together in combat, exchanging blows. It’s vicious, brutal, almost anything goes. There’s nowhere to run, no escape. It’s intense, visceral, blood splashes across the canvas – and you’re only listening to Cage Fight,
