Converge – ‘The Dusk In Us’

It’s difficult to think of a more highly respected band in underground heavy music than Converge – understandable when your ranks include the owner of the label every heavy band dreams of signing to, and the producer every heavy band dreams of recording with. Not to mention the fact

Muskets – ‘Chew’

Unless you’re a big band signed to a major label with tons of mainstream exposure, rock music sadly doesn’t pay the bills like it used to. Even some of the biggest UK bands are forced to work part-time jobs and make social sacrifices just to make ends meet. If you’re

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

Roam – ‘Great Heights & Nosedives’

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

The World is a Beautiful Place & I am No Longer Afraid To Die – ‘Always Foreign’

The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die (or, as they shall be known for the rest of this review, TWIABP, because seriously eff writing that multiple times) are an unusual beast, boasting seven full time members, plus a slew of additional musicians

Plan Three – ‘Wish I Was Stormborne’

Plan Three initially formed back in 2000 but gaps of several years between releases, including a three year hiatus from 2011 to 2014, means that ‘Wish I Was Stormborne’ is only their second full album. Such a fragmented past means that Plan Three have not yet managed to build

Partisan – ‘We Have Been So Terribly Betrayed’

If the evidence collected in the last few years is anything to go by, every kid in a hardcore band will eventually reach a point where they shed their Jane Doe t-shirts and Vans sneakers, emerging like a gothic snake clad all in black, a brace of

Orestea – ‘Elements’

British rock band Orestea are exploring their musical style with their new self-written, produced and recorded album ‘Elements’. Opening track ‘Welcome to Surviville’ begins with electronic drums and synthesizers, layered with lyrics that have been chopped and edited to add to the rhythmic elements of this introduction. It doesn’t take
