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

Thornhill – ‘Butterfly’

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.

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

Tiny Moving Parts – ‘Swell’

Within 30 seconds of clicking play, ‘Swell’ hits you with angsty vocals, harmonics and guitar tapping, setting the tone nicely for an album full of dramatic shifts, in both music and quality. Opening track ‘Applause’ combines the melodic guitar work of their contemporaries Free Throw, with the moody hooks of

The Xcerts – ‘Hold On To Your Heart’

Ever since their formative days in Aberdeen and Brighton, The Xcerts have been known for their ability to write upbeat anthemic rock songs with apparent ease. Their back catalogue has got more than its fair share of instantly appealing songs, and a live set from them is

Tonight Alive – ‘Underworld’

Following a short diversion from their signature pop-punk sound with 2016’s ‘Limitless’, Tonight Alive have made a swift U-turn and created an album that serves as a solid reminder of why we loved them so much in the first place. Tonight Alive has powered through the

Calligram – ‘Askesis’

In late 2016, London-based noise-mongers Calligram unleashed their debut EP, ‘Demimonde’, on the UK hardcore scene. An assault of punishing D-beat and charred, blackened riffing, it was a terrifying and glorious introduction for the band, and one that threw down the gauntlet pretty hard. Like, too hard.
