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

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,

Shower Of Teeth – ‘Eternal Gut Rot’

With a name like Shower Of Teeth, the expectation is a terrifically dark deathcore band with plenty of songs detailing the macabre and haunting aspects of life and death. Likewise, ‘Eternal Gut Rot’, their latest album, evokes similar imagery, and that’s without pointing out the album cover

Spanish Love Songs – ‘No Joy’

Returning for their fourth album, Spanish Love Songs have a difficult challenge upcoming. Their previous albums have all been adored, with 2018’s ‘Schmaltz’ introducing many to the LA-formed quintet, and 2020’s ‘Brave Faces Everyone’ being the perfect soundtrack to the Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns. Telling stories

Sir Chloe – ‘I Am The Dog’

Touring with the Pixies and Beck, and being pals with Harry Styles (yes, that one) before the release of your debut album can likely be overwhelming, particularly when you’re already pulling in millions of monthly Spotify listeners. It leads to the question of ‘just how good is this band
