Teenage Wrist – ‘Earth Is A Black Hole’

Nostalgia is big business these days – and when Teenage Wrist first came on the scene, they were one of many groups trying to recapture that 90s alt-rock sound. When the LA group released debut album ‘Chrome Neon Jesus’ back in 2018, they were widely praised for

The Pretty Reckless – ‘Death By Rock and Roll’

It’s been almost four and a half years since we’ve had a new album from The Pretty Reckless – a period of time that has been anything but easy for what might be one of the last remaining ‘pure’ rock bands in 2021.  To talk about

Drones – ‘Our Hell Is Right Here’

Maybe you like your punk with the power of hardcore. Maybe you like your vocals rich with barbed hooks and sing-a-along choruses. Maybe you like inspirational lyrics that lodge in your brain. May-be you are tired of waiting for Rise Against to get their act together. Maybe Drones are

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

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. Since then, the London trio have taken time away to focus on individual personal issues; vocalist/guitarist

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
