Lost At Sea – ‘Motion Sickness’

While their mission statement is to focus on that chaotic period of uncertainty in youth, Lost At Sea’s music is anything but directionless. Formerly known as Corusco, LAS are themselves at that point in their lives and, spurred on by “trying to find hope and meaning when

Gojira – ‘Fortitude’

You can make a strong argument that ‘Fortitude’ is the most anticipated metal release of the year. If you’re reading this, you won’t be wondering if you should check it out – you’ll already be waiting in impatient anticipation. You’re probably wondering; just how good is it? Oh, it’s

Manchester Orchestra – ‘The Million Masks of God’

It has been almost four years since Manchester Orchestra released their stunning, if slightly under-appreciated, fifth album – ‘A Black Mile to the Surface’. For some, the prospect of them delivering a worthy follow-up was going to be a difficult task for the Atlanta group. Nevertheless, Andy Hull

Remember Sports – ‘Like a Stone’

The past 18 months have provided plenty of time to think and take stock. Stifled by a lack of touring or pretty much anything else that makes being in a band special, a common theme persists through many releases in a post-Covid world. Reflection and analysing the nether reaches

The Armed – ‘ULTRAPOP’

If you have followed the career of The Armed, then you will know their existence has been clouded in mystery… until now. With album number four, ‘ULTRAPOP’, the Detroit-based collective have pulled off the veil by revealing themselves to be an eight-piece. Well, that’s at least publicly. Guitarist and

While She Sleeps – ‘SLEEPS SOCIETY’

Beyond the creative expression, the hunger to perform and release tension, the indescribable feeling of being able to travel the globe and see everything it has to offer, there is one very important thing that bands and artists cannot live without. One integral component of the machine, the

Hail The Sun – ‘New Age Filth’

In the music world you don’t often have to look far to find woe-filled tales of addiction, and Hail the Sun know it. The Californian five-piece detailed their struggles on their 2018 album ‘Mental Knife’, but the story doesn’t end there. Of course, addictions never take place in isolation

Holding Absence – ‘The Greatest Mistake of My Life’

It’s hard to believe that Holding Absence are only just releasing their second album. Having built up a fanbase whose devotion and passion would rival the likes of those in the pop world, you might expect this band to have a back catalogue just as long, too.
