Young Culture – ‘Godspeed’

Even in the context of the longest year in history, it feels like barely five minutes have passed since we first heard the debut album from Young Culture – in fact, it’s been nearly ten months, though in release terms that’s still a pretty swift turnaround for follow up

Creeper – ‘American Noir’

Robbed of exorcising the demons of the exhausting creative process that yielded critically-acclaimed album ‘Sex, Death and the Infinite Void’ in a celebratory live setting, Creeper do what only Creeper can do – launch an incredibly bold and daring EP.

Yonaka – ‘Seize The Power’

Brighton four-piece Yonaka haven’t really stopped since releasing debut album ‘Don’t Wait ‘Til Tomorrow’ back in 2019.

Kicking off in early 2020, London-based duo CRASHFACE were born in hard times, to say the least. Their debut EP ‘HEAVY INFECTIOUS’ is a reflection on the trials and tribulations the past year presented, with bassist Otto Balfour describing it as “the journal we used to frantically

Drug Church – ‘Tawny’

Can you spare 10 minutes? You’re busy, of course. You’ve got your main job, your evening job, your hobby that Instagram has convinced you to turn into a side-hustle. You’ve got a social life – when you can fit it in – and then somewhere among all that you

Hailing from the blustery, north-westerly outpost of Barrow-in-Furness, four piece The Liars Club continue an emerging trend of British punk bands embracing the 1970s sound that made the genre revolutionary.

Dream Racer – ‘Gloomy Eyes’

Over the past 12 months or so, many of us have found comfort through listening to music that reminds us of happier, easier times. Like it or not, nostalgia works. As Stephen King once said, “sooner or later, everything old is new again”, and he’s not wrong. From

Fangs Out – ‘Pretty Bleak’

You know how the story goes. After releasing their blistering debut EP ‘Curse Words’ in 2020, Fangs Out planned to hit the road and cause some mayhem – but with a global pandemic-sized spanner in the works, plans changed. Frustrated, locked-down and fed up, the band retreated to the
