Kid Kapichi – ‘This Time Next Year’

It’s been a busy few years for Hastings natives Kid Kapichi. Since the release of their phenomenal debut EP ‘Lucozade Dreams’ in 2018, they’ve been toiling to provide their brand of garage punk to a wider market, with big success. Having toured with Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes, Slaves

Psychedelic Porn Crumpets – ‘Shyga! The Sunlight Mound’

If you’ve never listened to a Psychedelic Porn Crumpets album before, ‘Big Dijon’ – the opening track to the Perth quintet’s raucous fourth outing – provides a rather hilarious orchestral moment of brevity that’s almost akin to a warning. The ominous last lines, “surrender to the render”,

To Kill Achilles – ‘Something To Remember Me By’

Dundee’s To Kill Achilles have never been afraid to wear their hearts on their sleeves and they’re about to make that clearer than ever with new record ‘Something To Remember Me By’ A concept record of sorts, ’Something To Remember Me By’ is incredibly honest and poignant, striking a chord

Cheap Meat – ‘People Are The Worst’

On the surface, Cheap Meat don’t take themselves completely seriously. Their debut outing, 2016’s ‘The Parts That Show’ EP, contained plenty of hook-filled moments that were reminiscent of Weezer, with lyrical cliches throughout.

Weezer – ‘OK HUMAN’

Surprise! Weezer have a new album out. In recent years, they have been nothing if not prolific – at this point there always seems to be a new Weezer album coming out, and this isn’t necessarily a good thing. Although their career was built on writing perfect three-minute pop-punk

Crazy Arm – Dark Hands, Thunderbolts

Crazy Arm’s fourth long player ‘Dark Hands, Thunderbolts’ arrives after four long years in the making. Less hot on the heels and more cold on the calves of 2013’s ‘The Southern Wild’, the fourteen track album has been a true labour of love for the Devon outfit-cum-collective, who

The Sonder Bombs – ‘Clothbound’

The ukulele has a reputation problem. Hear the name and you can’t help but think of George Formby or the endless cascade of YouTube creators murdering your favourite songs with pinky-plonky cover versions. The Sonder Bombs are here to change that; armed with one of these four-stringers and a

Lonely The Brave – ‘The Hope List’

There can be few things more satisfying in the life of a music fan than seeing a band rise from the ashes of their previous life. For Cambridge’s Lonely The Brave, it seemed difficult to imagine anyone stepping into the place of former vocalist Dave Jakes after he left

Lande Hekt – ‘Going To Hell’

Throughout her time with Muncie Girls, Lande Hekt has never been afraid to take on all encompassing topics. Be it the burgeoning influence of the right wing or the looming threat of climate change, Muncie Girls have always been unabashed and pulled no punches when turning their

You Me At Six – ‘SUCKAPUNCH’

We may only be two weeks into 2021, but the race for album of the year has begun and never was there such a strong contender as You Me At Six’s seventh studio album, ‘SUCKAPUNCH’. Don’t be put off by the name. ‘SUCKAPUNCH’ may not sound
