Death Pedals – ‘Death Pedals’

Following the release of this self-titled album and a short run of gigs ending on February 17, London DIY punks Death Pedals will call it a day. That makes this review difficult to write, as this record is so exciting that it would be great to spout off about

Good Tiger – ‘We Will All Be Gone’

Good Tiger return with their sophomore album, ‘We Will All Be Gone’, after debuting ‘A Head Full of Moonlight’ back in 2015. With every song on this latest offering, it’s clear that they’ve taken the past three years to truly hone their sound, offering a more cohesive

Hotel Books – ‘Equivalency’

Spoken word emo is a very niche, marmite genre. For every person who worships of the altar of La Dispute, Listener and Mewithoutyou there’s another who would rather stick pins in their eyes than listen to someone read slam poetry over an Appleseed Cast instrumental. If you’re the latter,

Machine Head – ‘Catharsis’

If you’ve toured the world countless times, sold over a million records and near enough reached the pinnacle of the metal world, it’s fair to start taking some risks. American heavy metal titans Machine Head have done exactly that with their latest album ‘Catharsis’. At a point in their

Brian Fallon – ‘Sleepwalkers’

“We’ve taken this thing really far … now what?’ I don’t think any of us had an answer. Then ‘We’re at a crossroads. No one knows what to do,” Brian Fallon told Rolling Stone in early-2016 upon the hiatus of The Gaslight Anthem. “Now what”, is a

Coming from the other side of the world and with only a 5 track EP behind them, the name of this Australian quintet will no doubt be greeted by blank looks and shrugs. Their second EP, however, is about to change all of that. Crammed full of instrumental prowess,

Funeral Shakes – ‘Funeral Shakes’

Watford based newcomers Funeral Shakes bop, jitterbug and swing their way onto the scene with this, their self titled debut album. From start to finish it’s a delightfully pessimistic take on the traditional. Forget love songs and think more anti-love. The almost 50’s sound has a way of bringing out

Corrosion of Conformity – ‘No Cross No Crown’

Very few artists have earned the fierce adoration or respect that Corrosion of Conformity have in heavy metal. Intertwined with the incestuous tapestry of artists that defined a generation of alternative music, they’ve had members of Pantera, Crowbar, Superjoint Ritual and Down amongst their ranks over the

The Spook School – ‘Could It Be Different?’

‘Could It Be Different?’ is the eagerly anticipated third album from Glasgow indie punks The Spook School. It’s a life-affirming release that quickly proves invaluable; there’s an overwhelming sense of hope and optimism at its core that won’t fail to empower those who are struggling to come to terms

Lemuria – ‘Recreational Hate’

A collection of sentimental, wistful yearning brings together Lemuria’s latest release ‘Recreational Hate’, their first album in four years. The record came as a surprise to trusting fans who purchased a ‘Secret LP’ off the trio’s website with little other information. Turns out, what would be hitting their inbox was
