The Colour Line – ‘The Long Awaited Seal Of Disapproval’

On first listen it’s easy to dismiss The Long Awaited Seal Of Disapproval. If you gloss over it, give it a casual listen, it can sound rather samey. Nothing of significance might jump out at you. But on the second, third, fourth listen, if you really pay attention, you

Rory Indiana – ‘Ruling Class Crooks’

Brighton quartet Rory Indiana have given the music scene a lot to shout about. Having supported the likes of EMP!RE and Rival States, as well as working their way around the festival circuit, putting in appearances at 2000 Trees and ArcTanGent, this lot have steadily been building up excitement

Blood Youth – ‘Closure’

Blood Youth are taking no prisoners with their follow up EP to last year’s ‘Inside My Head’. ‘Closure’ is the end product of a frantic 10 months which has seen the band rise from nowhere, produce two EPs, take Download Festival by storm, as well as winning over hordes

Grumble Bee – ‘Disconnect’

You’d be forgiven for thinking that ‘Disconnect’ is the result of several talented musicians collaborating together, but you’d be wrong. While Leeds-based multi-instrumentalist Jack Bennett has the talent, skill and disciplines of numerous people, Grumble Bee is but one man.

Black Coast – ‘Crows of The North’

The Young Hearts – ‘Everything We Left Behind’

Do you remember when Deaf Havana were a post-hardcore band, before the release of ‘Fools and Worthless Liars’ which, although catchy and enjoyable, lacked the edge and personality of their first full-length? If, like me, you wished they’d settled somewhere in between, then you’ll want to check

John Coffey – ‘No House For Thee’

A world-beating blend of spiky vocals and classy rock ‘n roll riffs returns for the band’s second release in almost 12 months. The idea of a new EP from the already brilliantly cataclysmic John Coffey is an exciting prospect, add the legendary talents of producer Kurt Ballou and you’ve

Glue Foot -‘Seed’

Something 90s this way comes. Music, like fashion, is cyclical and it seems we’ve reached the point where the British music scene is looking back to Seattle, circa 1992. Though each added their own identity, bands like Hindsights (RIP) and Milk Teeth have an energy, sound and aesthetic that

All These Years – ‘Pull It, Tug It, Love It’

The UK pop-punk scene is thriving right now, which is great news for smaller bands such as All These Years. Last year saw a constant stream of new bands surfacing and attempting to revive the scene and achieve the same success as bands like The Wonder Years, Basement and

On The Open Road – ‘Storyteller’

Look at what’s on that album cover: sunshine, people holding hands, a bobble hat… Before we’ve even taken a listen, there’s plenty of hints at what this EP is going to sound like. Yep, you guessed it: this is pop-punk at its finest. We had an exclusive look at
