Justin Courtney Pierre – ‘Permanent Midnight’

What if you could look into someone’s soul? What would you see? After Motion City Soundtrack called it a day, Justin Courtney Pierre was at a loose end. He still had things to say, and as singer-songwriter, he had the means to do so. Back in 2018

Tigers Jaw – ‘Old Clothes’

Last year, Tigers Jaw released their sixth album, ‘I Won’t Care How You Remember Me’. It saw the Pennsylvania group return as a collaborative quartet, yet maintained the indie rock sound co-leaders Ben Walsh and Brianna Collins had established in recent releases. The slightly under-appreciated record was carried by

Hot Milk – ‘The King and Queen of Gasoline’

Last year Hot Milk released a hit single called ‘Split Personality’ – listening to their new EP it seems strangely prescient. You know, perception is a funny thing. Browse a band’s social media and you’re never sure exactly what you’re seeing. Manchester’s Hot Milk are mischief

Anberlin – ‘Silverline’

Great bands aren’t born. They form, grow in stature, evolve, release a series of classic records, burn brighter than a comet and, finally, at the height of their creative powers, bid a graceful farewell. Then get back together a few years later. Welcome back Anberlin, we missed

GFM – ‘Framing My Perception’

Blame Shakespeare or blame Greek mythology but either way, when you hear of three sisters, you can’t help but think of witches. And perhaps that’s what GFM (or Gold, Frankincense, & Myrrh to those in the know) are. After all, they play in witch-inspired black & green

Panic Shack – ‘Baby Shack’

Attitude can get you a long way. If punk was a reaction to glam, Panic Shack are a reaction to groups of cocksure lads clogging up the Cardiff music scene. They embody the ethos perfectly; anyone can be in a band, everyone has something to say and these five,

Graphic Nature – ‘new skin’

Hailing from Kent and boasting a sound that is both brutally precise and wildly unhinged, Graphic Nature’s new EP ‘new skin’ is the perfect introduction to what they’re about. If you’ve never heard of the band before, prepare yourself – this isn’t an EP for the faint of

Copse – ‘Mara|Mondrem’

Let’s cut to the chase; this debut EP from Copse is pretty astonishing. It’s not often that a band nails it on the first attempt, but this Bristol-based post-black metal outfit have come straight out the gate sounding fully-formed on their debut EP ‘Mara|Mondrem’. These two sprawling tracks are more

Crown The King – ‘ Groundhog Day’

You wouldn’t believe it by what’s played on the radio, but the past year has seen the Irish music scene explode in nearly every genre. Independent hip-hop, dance, and pop artists have taken the time in lockdown to hit new heights with their work, and the reopening

Kid Dad – ‘Bloom’

We’re currently in a musical period where bands tend to reinvent themselves into a more brash, heavier, thrash embracing version of their previous selves. Germany’s Kid Dad, however, appear to have taken a different approach; releasing on a more stripped and nuanced sound for their latest EP, ‘Bloom’, the
