Codefendants – ‘This Is Crime Wave’

We all knew that Fat Mike wasn’t going to spend his time off after his run as NOFX’s frontman doing sudoku and baking banana bread. Before the band even ended their farewell tour, Fat Mike had already teamed up with hip hip artist Ceschi Ramos and Get Dead’s vocalist

Ov Sulfur – ‘The Burden Ov Faith’

When Ricky Hoover – he of Suffokate and extreme earlobe fame – revealed the logo for his new band Ov Sulfur, the reaction from across the deathcore scene was rabid. A sold out (and upgraded) debut show at the Freemont Country Club in their native Las Vegas

Pop Evil – ‘Skeletons’

There’s something timeless about Pop Evil which is really very appealing. If we told you that they were contemporaries of Linkin Park in their baggy-trousered heyday, you might well believe it based on their sound alone. But this seventh outing for the Michigan group, the latest in a series

Periphery – ‘V: Djent Is Not A Genre’

The next, you’re thirty, and there’s a weariness tangled in your bones like you’ve walked through cobwebs. For Hayley Williams

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. The direction of an eighth album is somewhat unchartered

Narrow Head – ‘Moments of Clarity’

Those of us that can remember the 90s might be horrified to realise that it ended almost a quarter of a century ago. A decade that produced some of the greatest and most beloved rock music of all time is officially vintage. Whether you’re a 90s kid, or just love
