Brian Fallon – ‘Local Honey’

When the light dims on the life of a highly successful band, it can leave so many unanswered questions for everyone involved – something that Brian Fallon knows all too well. As The Gaslight Anthem entered a self-imposed “indefinite hiatus”, it has led the singer-songwriter on a journey of

Lizzy Farrall – ‘Bruise’

The idea of releasing your debut album in a world where you’re unable to tour in support of it must be daunting, yet that’s the situation Lizzy Farrall finds herself facing. Luckily for both Lizzy and her fans, ‘Bruise’ is a phenomenal collection of tracks that

Birthmarks – ‘…And Then the Rain Stopped’

There’s something to be said for a good genre fusion between rock and electronic, though neither side will be the first to admit it (until someone figures out how to create the perfect death metal-techno album, the eternal war between metalheads and ravers will continue). Some of

Cable Ties – ‘Far Enough’

With a punk aesthetic, a solid rhythm section, and a love of noise, Melbourne’s Cable Ties have an agenda, and they want you to listen. Releasing their self-titled debut in 2017, the three-piece have since been building their fanbase – now, having signed to Merge Records, they are unleashing

Bottom Bracket – ‘I Don’t Care Enough To Stay’

Haggard Cat – ‘Common Sense Holiday’

Everything about Haggard Cat is outrageous. Their name, their history, their live show, and now their blistering second full-length album ‘Common Sense Holiday’. Evolving from their tumultuous previous band Heck (aka Baby Godzilla), the noisy duo have honed their mind-bending post-hardcore craft without negotiating away from their extreme level

Myrkur – ‘Folkesange’

In recent years, Denmark’s Amalie Bruun has cemented her reputation as one of the world’s leading black metal fusion artists. Along with other critically acclaimed acts such as Deafheaven and Zeal & Ardor, Bruun has pushed the boundaries of what black metal can be by fusing it with other

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
