Cavorts – ‘Times Told’

‘Times Told’ gives you the perfect introduction to this Yorkshire four-piece, with vocals that rival the local whiskey-breathed drunkard’s. Cavorts, reminiscent of Cancer Bats, have crafted an EP that’s unrelenting, dirt-ridden, playful and most importantly too short. With a party vibe throughout, the playful riffs on ‘Make It Suffer,’

Colt 45 – ‘Inside The Triangle’

After non stop touring, the boys in Cumbria’s Colt 45, return with their best EP yet. If ‘Inside The Triangle’ is anything to go by, Colt 45 have certainly begun the gruelling ascent towards rock n’ roll’s upper echelons. The EP which is produced by pop punk’s go to

Together We Fight – ‘Get A New Hero’

Is there really enough room in an already crammed music genre for another pop punk band? Together We Fight prove there is. Step aside Americans, these boys from Kent sure know how to write a song. Blending Four Year Strong style ferocity with the rough and ready sound of

blink-182 – ‘Dogs Eating Dogs’

In the ongoing saga of The World’s Biggest Pop Punk Band, blink-182 have found themselves self-releasing an EP – a move that would have been unthinkable at the time that they decided to go on hiatus. It’s somewhat unthinkable too that many will listen to this new EP expecting to

The Dead Fronts – ‘Dangerous Impressions’

Opening with a sluggish guitar melody and droned-down vocals, ‘Dangerous Impressions’ shares an immediate likeness with recent Arctic Monkey material – most noticeably the deliberately lifeless tracks on their third studio album ‘Humbug’. Confusingly it is shortly after the moments that could simply be the aforementioned band rather than

Run From Robots – ‘Roads That Don’t Lead Home’

Whether it’s Basement playing their last show this November, or The Wonder Years on yet another touring circuit around the country, punk bands are known for their outrageously loyal fan bases and high energy shows. Now it’s time for punk-rock newbies Run from Robots to

Blitz Kids – ‘Never Die’

What a strange few years its been for Blitz Kids. Hyped to the balls by various mainstream places as a band to step in line with Young Guns, Deaf Havana and that ilk, they stuttered a bit with their debut full length, and also faced the prospect of an

Edward Turner – ‘Night’

Endearing and incredibly mellow, former Pegasus Bridge frontman Edward Turner has released a five-track EP that puts a deserved spotlight onto the talented songwriter. With an inventive lyric-esque video (or not, depending on your likeness for Sharpie drawings, ‘The Things That Don’t Move In The Night’ will grow on you

Stick Up Kid – ‘Nothing About Me’

San Jose’s Stick Up Kid’s EP is very short. Only three of the five songs are over 2 minutes, but it’s a fantastic record that leaves the listener salivating for more. They are galvanising a sound, a vision and a following. It is hardcore punk-rock at its rawest and

We Are Lost Boys – ‘Life’

For some unknown reason British social dysfunction has gained a rather gritty pop rock soundtrack. We Are Lost Boys have taken guidance from scene leaders Lower Than Atlantis on this, their second EP and follow up to 2011s well-received ‘Making Memories’. Gathering comparisons not just through vocal similarities between
