Bring Me The Horizon – ‘~GO TO~’

The release of ‘Ludens’, regardless of the song being a promotional track from the game Death Stranding, was a neat celebration by Bring Me The Horizon of their various styles from the last ten years. Incorporating the wall-of-sound heaviness of ‘Sempiternal’ and the sharpness of ‘That’s The

Land Sharks – ‘Rock-A-Lips’

When a band is made up of familiar names from established acts, you generally enter the first listen with an idea of what they might sound like. Land Sharks are an exception to that. How on earth do you predict the sound of a band featuring members of a

Sun Arcana – ‘Just Another Dream Away’

Since introducing themselves in March 2018 with the release of debut EP ‘As I Take A Breath…’, Essex four piece Sun Arcana definitely couldn’t be accused of taking it easy. Having played shows across the UK and Europe with the likes of Emarosa, Normandie, Plain White Ts, and The

suitor – ‘folklore’

In the few short weeks following the release of suitor’s first ever single, ‘Deep Sleep’, many comparisons have been drawn.

Municipal Waste – ‘The Last Rager’

Outlandish American headbangers Municipal Waste are back with their latest EP ‘The Last Rager’; a ten minute lethal dose of some of the fastest thrash metal known to man. Municipal Waste have been a force for almost 20 years now and it shows in their endearing chemistry together and the

Simple Creatures – ‘Everything Opposite’

Simple Creatures are back with an EP that – following March’s ‘Strange Love’ – is exactly what you would expect; funky synths, endless vocal effects, and two of the most well-known voices in pop punk. If you’re expecting anything sonically revolutionary with ‘Everything Opposite’, you’re setting

Toronto Blessings – ‘Asleep’

You probably wouldn’t peg Barnsley as a hotbed of great alternative music, but over the years it has birthed crusty noise in the form of Errander, filthy hardcore riffs from Cavorts, and good old-fashioned rock and roll from G.U. Medicine. All very different bands, but all pretty much made

Can’t Swim – ‘Foreign Language’

From the moment you hit play on Can’t Swim’s latest musical endeavour, it’s like opening a door to a hurricane that had until now been safely locked away, its damage limited. That’s not to say that ‘Foreign Language’ is destructive, per se – but it is

Vinnie Caruana – ‘Aging Frontman’

When the front man of a much loved band releases solo work, it usually goes in one of two ways – identical to a full band release, or in a totally new direction. The Movielife and I Am The Avalanche’s Vinnie Caruana manages to tread the line between the

nothing, nowhere. x Travis Barker – ‘BLOODLUST’

nothing, nowhere. has fast become a notoriously devastating artist. Thematically, there’s nothing close to being positive about his music, and yet, somehow, it’s easy to seek comfort in his words. His latest release is a collaboration with blink-182’s Travis Barker, an EP that combines catchy riffs and
