Small Pond – ‘Emerging Volume V’

Small Pond, the independant label based in Brighton, are no strangers to championing their home town. There’s a reason Brighton has a history of churning out new and exciting music, and of the last decade, Small Pond have been a large part of that. Having previously started

PERTURBATOR – ‘Age Of Aquarius’

If there’s anything we know about Perturbator, it’s that the French musician knows how to transport us to a cyber-punkesque land, not too dissimilar from the likes of Tron or Blade Runner. Perturbator is a master at treading a path between an 80s past and a dystopian future; are

Dinosaur Pile-Up – ‘I’ve Felt Better’

It feels like it’s been a lifetime since we’ve heard some chunky output from the Dinosaur Pile-Up boys and to some extent, it has been. Six years since their last release, ‘Celebrity Mansions’, the world has changed immeasurably and, despite some serious shit happening to the band,

Knives – ‘GLITTER’

Post-punk can be a difficult genre to get into as a listener. But for Bristol sextet Knives, it’s the perfect place to categorise them. Still a band in their infancy, it’s been 26 months since their first single release but with the release of their debut album,

Viagra Boys – ‘viagr aboys’

Viagra Boys are anything but ordinary. Spam-mail worthy name aside, they’re a band that cast a glancing eye over the rule book, purely so they know what to avoid. It’s that carefree attitude that has adorned them to so many fans over their previous three releases. New album ‘viagr

Michael Cera Palin – ‘We Could Be Brave’

With the release of their debut album, ‘We Could Be Brave’, the key word that personifies Michael Cera Palin is that last one. Having formed over a decade ago, taking a hiatus and reforming early 2020 (uh oh) and subsequently reemerging in 2022, “brave” really does sum them up.

Foxing – ‘Foxing’

With the conclusion of their debut album’s ten year anniversary tour last year, it could be easy for a band like Foxing to rest on their laurels, feet up. But that’s not Foxing. With every release, they push their own boundaries, evolving in one way or another;

Destroy Boys – ‘Funeral Soundtrack #4’

Forming just under a decade ago, Cali natives Destroy Boys have been churning out music on a pretty regular basis. In fact, with the release of their fourth album, you could say they’re dropping new music with consistency. The real question is whether they’re able to push and progress

Other Half – ‘Dark Ageism’

Norwich’s Other Half are, like all of us, aging. Having spent the last decade making “little-to-no progression” (their words, not ours) in a punk band now gets raised eyebrows and the question of “what are you going to do with your life?” This same question is asked to the

Gaffa Tape Sandy – ‘Hold My Hand, God Damn It’

We’ve said it before, we’ll say it again – The Brighton music scene thrives like bees around honey. Included within that musical hive are three-piece Gaffa Tape Sandy. Another band who’s first proper headline tour was cut short by that ‘P’ word we’ve all tried to forget,
