Des Rocs – ‘To Hell And Back’

With hindsight, the collaboration between Des Rocs and the Borderlands franchise feels so obvious.

The Flatliners – ‘Cold World’

Sometimes you just need a break, a rock to clamber onto in the middle of a raging river, and that’s exactly what The Flatliners have provided in the form of ‘Cold World’. By their standards, the Canadians’ seventh outing is a very calm record, but it’s what we’re craving
