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 Offspring – ‘Let The Bad Times Roll’

Just in time for the summer, punk rock veterans The Offspring return with their near decade long overdue tenth album ‘Let The Bad Times Roll’. The most chilled out band in California may be older, but they still know how to crank out cathartic melodies with a slashing of

Harker – ‘Axiom’

Changing one’s sound can often be a bit of a gamble – take Architect’s latest album as an example. Although it might have topped the charts and created new fans aplenty, diehards have been less than thrilled, likening them to diluting an already stellar product to appeal to the

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.

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.

Evanescence – ‘The Bitter Truth’

Not many bands in rock have penned a career that inspired a generation while changing the musical landscape around them quite like Evanescence. From their multi million selling debut album, to bringing symphonic rock/metal to the mainstream, songstress Amy Lee has flown the alternative flag in front of everyone’s

Devil Sold His Soul – ‘Loss’

London’s ambient metalcore pioneers Devil Sold His Soul have been quiet for a very long time. Having released a couple of mouth-watering singles a few years ago, 2021 marks seven years since they released their ‘Belong ╪ Betray’ EP and an even lengthier fourteen years since their

As Everything Unfolds – ‘WITHIN EACH LIES THE OTHER’

You run toward the cliffs, you dive, and for a moment you hang in the air before plunging into the cold, turbulent water. Welcome to the immersive, violent sound of As Everything Unfolds, post-hardcore at its best; rich, layered and catchy as hell. The tides have changed, and you’re
