River Becomes Ocean – ‘A Motion Paralysed’

River Becomes Ocean may be a name that you’ve not come across before, but it won’t stay like that for long. The Brighton based quintet have been grinding away for years, releasing infectious post-hardcore and touring in support of scene heavyweights like Silverstein and Framing Hanley. The newest addition

Reel Big Fish – ‘Life Sucks… Let’s Dance!’

It has to be said that 2018 was quite the year. The gloomy likes of Brexit and Donald Trump have hogged the media spotlight all year round, making it hard to see a bright side to the year at some points. However, just before we enter a fresh 2019,

Palisades – ‘Erase The Pain’

The end of December is a bit of an odd time to release an album. Too late to make anyone’s album of the year list and too early for anyone to start caring about 2019, it’s that weird fuzzy period where nobody can remember the last time they ate

Memphis May Fire – ‘Broken’

Memphis May Fire are an important band for this generation. They are unafraid to wear their hearts on their sleeves, giving their already powerful music more depth – and that depth is something that their fans revel in, as the majority are able to relate to the issues and struggles

itoldyouiwouldeatyou – ‘Oh Dearism’

Emo. It’s a dirty word amongst music fans. A sound and style that’s largely dissipated over the years, some would say for the better. There’s always been a stigma around it, despite its huge popularity in the mid-late 00’s – a house party wasn’t a house party unless someone

SHVPES – ‘Greater Than’

SHVPES front man Griffin Dickinson’s surname encourages a rather unwelcome elephant into the room – and yes, his dad is THAT Bruce Dickinson. This isn’t to say that SHVPES have had an easy ride. Rather than riding on the coattails of Griffin’s lineage, SHVPES have spent almost a decade grinding

GUTTFULL – ‘Tits and Nails’

If their EP is anything to go by, the debut full-length from dirty sax-punkers GUTTFULL is going to be a raucous and powerful release– and it doesn’t disappoint. Featuring tracks that are now classics in the band’s catalogue, they still sound fresh and piercing nestled in between songs

Architects – ‘Holy Hell’

Architects are a very unique band in todays metal community. Their back catalogue is one of the strongest in modern metal, their live show is held in high regard amongst gig goers and fellow musicians alike. But what really makes them special is their fan base–you’d be hard pressed

Laura Jane Grace & The Devouring Mothers – ‘Bought To Rot’

Like a shooting star through the sky or spotting a four-leaf clover, it is a very rare occurrence for Laura Jane Grace to get bitten by the solo record bug. It’s almost a decade since Grace last dabbled in a project away from Against Me! with the

Drug Church – ‘Cheer’

Okay, so Drug Church’s latest slice of punk heaven is here, and it’s bloody fantastic. The five-piece, originally born out of Albany only to be “sucked into the fast life” of LA, first bared their teeth with a couple of demo songs in late-2011 and enjoyed a pretty meteoric rise
