Rotting Out – ‘Ronin’

There tends to be a note of scepticism when a recently-reformed band releases new material. Will they be able to reclaim their mojo of their earlier years? Will they return with a completely new sound? Or will they produce something that makes you realise why it was

Asylums release new single and announce album

These may be turbulent times, but if there’s one thing we can still rely on, it’s new music – and Southend four piece Asylums are more than happy to deliver in the form of stadium-ready new single, ‘A Perfect Life In A Perfect World’. The single and its accompanying video,

Shower Of Teeth – ‘Oranjedoom’
