Skeleton Kid – ‘The Graveyard Disciples’

Judging by the title of the EP itself, it’s easy to assume that Bournemouth foursome Skeleton Kid will sound dark and depressed and, honestly, you’d be right. On their Myspace page (yes, they still have one) they describe themselves as a band that “will do anything and everything in

Manhattan Coast – ‘Beg, Borrow, or Steal’

Formed in 2010 and sounding somewhere between The Blackout, You Me At Six and the first Envy On The Coast record, Bridgend pop rockers Manhattan Coast’s EP ‘Beg, Borrow, or Steal’ is a big statement of intent. Clocking in at about 20 minutes long, the EP contains five tracks

Mortdelamer – ‘Words Within Wires’

British alternative rockers Mortdelamer have been around the fringes of the music scene for sometime now, with their latest EP ‘Words Within Wires’ looking to finally give the band their “big break”. Recorded with producer Jonny Renshaw (Devil Sold His Soul, Deaf Havana), Mortdelamer have produced an impressive EP

Circles – ‘Circles’

Circles open their self-titled EP with ‘…And I Called For Revolution’, which is very reminiscent of The Cure’s ‘Plainsong’ with the repetitive, soaring melodies. Circles describe themselves as a band that “make noises, record them and play them live.” Non-serious as that comment was, those noises can manage to

Lithium State – ‘Can’t Get Enough’

You know that feeling of dread you get when a new band crops up and you can tell that, despite their desperate attempts to start a musical revolution from various pubs in their local area, they’re just never going to make it? Well that might be the feeling you

Atombuzz – ‘F.E.A.R.’

As you can see from the stupendously cheaply produced cover art looming over this review – a “V For Vendetta” Fawkes mask superimposed over a photo of the Tiananmen Square protests – this band may fancy themselves of an anarchic slant. However, unlike genre forebears like Crass or Dead

Wolves – ‘Cycles’

At just fourteen minutes long, ‘Cycles’ takes WOLVES in so many directions it proves difficult to keep up. Opener ‘Divide’ follows a more straightforward hardcore punk route, but it’s not until the one and a half minute mark that the track breaks – the welcoming clean vocals deliver an

Hello Lazarus – ‘Hello Lazarus’

You might have come across Hello Lazarus before on gigs supporting the likes of The Xcerts and Flood of Red, and their self-titled EP brings four cherry picked tracks of the band’s material that are likely to leave you salivating for me. Opener ‘Adore/Implore’ will take no time at all

Loose Lips – ‘Cloud Your Thoughts’

At just eleven minutes long it may be difficult to form an extensive opinion of Brighton trio Loose Lips based on their debut EP ‘Cloud Your Thoughts’. In essence, the band delivers a well-crafted yet inoffensive blend of mainstream indie rock and slightly goth-driven alternative hooks that certainly carry

Gnarwolves – ‘CRU’

‘CRU’, the new 7-inch from Brighton-via-Cornwall bright sparks Gnarwolves has finally landed! They’ve been one of the most talked about new bands in the British punk scene over the last few months after debut five track ‘Fun Club’ impressed at the turn of the year and the band escaped
