Gold Key – ‘Hello, Phantom’

If nothing else, Gold Key are going to surprise a lot of people. Considering the press release for the album contains the words ‘featuring members of Gallows and Sikth’, you’d be forgiven for expecting something angry and chaotic. Whilst some may find it disappointing that ‘Hello, Phantom’ is neither

Watchcries – ‘Wraith’

The tale of Brighton’s Watchcries is one of momentum.

Iron Chic – ‘You Can’t Stay Here’

Long Island melodic punks Iron Chic have been on a hell of a ride up to this point. It’s always been clear from their lyrics that the individuals in the band have had their personal struggles but, with the passing of original guitarist Rob McAllister in early 2016, the

No Warning – ‘Torture Culture’

The story of No Warning is one that has been told many times, and depending on who you talk to, you will get a different take on what they think happened to the band. Their 2002 debut, ‘Ill Blood’ is the album that defined a generation and influenced more

Eastbourne pop punk quintet Roam have really been making waves. Since forming in 2012 they’ve played shows all over the world with some of the biggest names in the genre, including a recent stint as main to support to New Found Glory on their 20th anniversary tour both here

Citizen – ‘As You Please’

Citizen have been following a rigid album cycle since their debut in 2013 and their debut record ‘Youth’ came at an ideal time. It was an album for those growing out of pop punk and wanting something a bit more grown up, whilst still wanting to express the same
