Kent hardcore rockers and all-round, loud as fuck gentlemen Feed The Rhino have returned with their eight studio album, ‘The Silence’, and let’s say this right off the bat: it’s their best work to date. It’s crazy to think that Feed The Rhino have been around for the best part of

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
