The Slow Readers Club – ‘The Joy Of The Return’

‘The Joy Of The Return’ is the fourth studio album from Mancunian four-piece The Slow Readers Club, bringing a sound that was developed during back-of-van jams whilst touring extensively throughout 2019. It’s a familiar sound that’s frequently compared to that of Editors, Interpol, and a catalogue of successful indie

False Heads – ‘It’s All There But You’re Dreaming’

It’s been a long time coming – but after four years of hard graft, plenty of gigs supporting huge names, and releasing two exceptional EPs, False Heads are finally dropping debut album ‘It’s All There But You’re Dreaming’. There are big expectations of the London three piece, and even

Broken Witt Rebels – ‘OK Hotel’

Hailing from Birmingham, Broken Witt Rebels have independently travelled the world over the last few years unleashing their blend of stylish blues-infused rock music on anybody that would listen, making the industry take notice of their DIY spirit and huge potential in the process. Now the four-piece

Code Orange – ‘Underneath’

It ain’t easy being Orange. The Pittsburgh group have been making waves for a while now, undergoing a rebranding and coming out with the classic ‘I Am King’ LP, but it was with 2017’s ‘Forever’ – widely lauded as a hallmark of heavy music that refused to

Circa Waves – ‘Sad Happy’

Circa Waves’ brand of riff-heavy indie rock has made them one of the standouts of the genre for some time now, yet they’re always pushing boundaries. The sartorial scousers made their full length debut about five years ago, and since then have continued to branch outwards. It’s

Puta Volcano – ‘Amma’

Puta Volcano lit the touch paper back in 2011. Two hard-rocking albums later, they’re exploding out of Athens, Greece, and heading onto the world stage with their third album ‘Amma’, expanding their sound as they move to a bigger label. They’re keen to impress and, putting it bluntly, they

Orchards – ‘Lovecore’

Orchards debut album feels like it’s been a long time coming. The Brighton math-pop quartet have put out a number of singles and EPs since 2016, making a name for themselves with their fusion of complex mathy riffs and pop hooks – now, the album is

Mundy’s Bay – ‘Lonesome Valley’

Recently, there has been something of a revival of the 80s synth wave scene, with hints of it making their way into tracks by artists such as Foals, Tame Impala, The 1975, and even Creeper’s latest installment of their musical evolution. However, Montreal’s indie-electro outfit Mundy’s Bay take this

THICK – ‘5 Years Behind’

It’s a cliché, but some places produce a distinctive sound that becomes so recognisable, it’s hard not to automatically associate them. Take the ‘Madchester’ scene of the early 90s, and bands like Stone Roses and Happy Mondays. While that scene might’ve been short-lived, some cities seem to be a

Silverstein – ‘A Beautiful Place To Drown’

It’s taken music publications twenty years to start acknowledging Silverstein for their influence in the post-hardcore scene, and yet, no amount of recognition could truly encompass their pioneering spirit. We’re talking about a band who paved the way back in 2005 with ‘Discovering The Waterfront’ – an album so
