River Becomes Ocean – ‘December’

Cosmopolitan, alternative, and accepting, Brighton’s a logical choice of place to be for anyone who wants to be creative away from the overwhelming busyness of London. River Becomes Ocean – still relatively new kids on the block – are the latest export from the South Coast and new EP,

Witterquick – ‘Beneath the Spinning Lights’

Exeter-based alt-rock quintet Witterquick make an assured start with ‘Beneath the Spinning Lights’, a five-track collection of powerful choruses, catchy melodies and well crafted songs. For a debut EP it’s impressively refined, showcasing a sound that’s already accomplished enough to slot alongside similar alt-rock heavyweights Young Guns and Lower

Daydream Frenzy – ‘Ocean Air’

Daydream Frenzy’s new release ‘Ocean Air’ is short and sweet. Although the first two songs alone are good enough to pop on repeat for a few listens, there’s a potential here for the band to create something really great. With an understated charm and a clear knack for a

Waco – ‘Uprise’

Oddball four-piece Waco have been impressing those in and around the UK for a few years now with their inspired, if a little over-the-top brand of punk rock. ‘Uprise’, their second EP, sees them not just surpassing their previous efforts, but looking down on them from a great height and

The Autumn Ravine – ‘An Intrinsic Evolution’

Kent quartet The Autumn Ravine have come on in leaps and bounds since the release of their debut EP ‘The Garden of England’, a little over two years ago. When you release a stunning debut, it can be daunting to follow it up with something that transcends that; however,

No Joy – ‘Drool Sucker’

No Joy are sick of being pigeonholed. Throughout their seven-year career they have been plagued by all manner of labels; shoegaze, dream pop, indie rock, and so on. While moments of their back catalogue justify such terms, particularly in their earlier releases, they have far more to offer than

Griever – ‘Soul Searcher’

Griever have been doing the rounds for the last couple of years. Determined to make a name for themselves, they’ve thrown themselves into touring and playing shows alongside the likes of Crossfaith and Being As An Ocean. They’ve honed their live sets and have taken this energy into the

O Captain – ‘Within & Without’

When Sheffield’s O Captain first emerged with the ‘Ghetto Hikes’ EP, we were blown away. Seemingly out of nowhere, the band delivered three slabs of shimmering, Smiths-influenced emo-pop. As debuts go, it was far more polished and confident than it had any

Seasons – ‘Seasons’

Bedfordshire quintet Seasons have been turning heads since the release of their debut single ‘Sailed Ships’. Wrought with huge riffs and a head-turning chorus, this band carried on riding their wave of success by following up with their huge self-titled EP. Single ‘Sailed Ships’ is a staggering way to start

Dalek – ‘Asphalt For Eden’

While its not uncommon, the worlds of hip-hop and punk may still seem like strange bedfellows. Discounting the turgid, red-cap wearing “rap rock” atom bomb at the turn of the century, they have more in common than you may think; if not in style, then certainly in attitude. It
