PERTURBATOR – ‘Age Of Aquarius’

If there’s anything we know about Perturbator, it’s that the French musician knows how to transport us to a cyber-punkesque land, not too dissimilar from the likes of Tron or Blade Runner. Perturbator is a master at treading a path between an 80s past and a dystopian future; are

Greyhaven – ‘KEEP IT QUIET’

The word ‘grey’ has plenty of negative connotations. Tarmac is grey, the sky is grey, depression is grey, porridge is grey, the mood is very much grey. Despite it being part of their name, ‘grey’ is the last colour you’d use to describe Greyhaven’s new record. Technically,

TV CULT – ‘Industry’

German post punks TV CULT describe their music as “somewhere between The Cure and Minor.” Their debut album, 2023’s ‘Colony’, lent hard on their punk influences and led to the band touring with acts such as Ditz and Militarie Gun. ‘Industry’, the sophomore follow-up, sees the band embrace

The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus – ‘X’s For Eyes’

The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus – MySpace era survivors and perennial comeback kids – aren’t going to end up Face Down any time soon. A seven year absence has brought us to ‘X’s For Eyes’, a record that puts us back in touch with our inner teens. It would be

AFI – ‘Silver Bleeds The Black Sun…’

‘Silver Bleeds the Black Sun…’ is not a record from the AFI that play in the memory of every early noughties alt kid. The masters of subtle reinvention, who slid from hardcore basements to MTV screens, who flew their Black Sails In The Sunset across a Silver and Cold

Orbit Culture – ‘DEATH ABOVE LIFE’

The world is filled with incredible places. Should you ever have the chance to visit Krakow, take the time to explore the Wieliczka salt mines. A maze of tunnels, grand rooms, polished surfaces and pillars, these retired caverns offer a glimpse of the past. Deep underground, the

Motion City Soundtrack – ‘The Same Old Wasted Wonderful World’

It never quite seemed fair that Motion City Soundtrack were painted with the brush of pop punk early in their career, or that their later albums were judged in that light. Certainly, ‘Commit This To Memory’ and ‘Even If It Kills Me’ were the closest the band came

Die Spitz – ‘Something To Consume’

Austin rockers Die Spitz’s debut album, ‘Teeth’, was released two years ago, as the band turned twenty. Filled with a blistering punk energy, ‘Teeth’ cemented the band’s sound as both deeply inspired by ‘90s grunge and distinctly contemporary; a post-Covid Hole. Their sophomore, ‘Something To Consume’ sees the

La Dispute – ‘No One Was Driving the Car’

Post-hardcore legends La Dispute have released their first album in six years – or rather, they have just finished releasing it. ‘No One Was Driving the Car’, an exploration of social and psychological decay, has been steadily releasing over the past three months. The album is split into

Nova Twins – ‘Parasites and Butterflies’

It’s been three years since we were last treated to a Nova Twins record, and we already knew it was going to solid bangers from start to finish. ‘Parasites and Butterflies’ feels like the conclusion of a trilogy that Amy Love and Georgia South didn’t even know they were
