Death From Above 1979 – ‘Is 4 Lovers’

Death From Above (sometimes with a 1979, and sometimes not), despite their hiatus in between records, are entering their third decade of creating heavy hitting style of dance-punk, but it sure doesn’t feel like it. Though the topics may change as drummer/vocalist Sebastien Grainger and bassist/synth jockey

Citizen – ‘Life In Your Glass World’

One of the greatest joys of following the bands that arose from the emo revival of the late ’00s and early ’10s has been watching their progression above the echelons of the scene. From The Hotelier’s transformation into expansive, poetic naturalism on ‘Goodness’ to Foxing’s bombastic, and quite frankly

LIVE: Dead Poet Society – ‘-!-’ Album Launch

There is a light on the horizon. As vaccines continue to roll out, that first live gig back seems to edge closer day by day. For now though, artists must continue to adapt their approach when it comes to getting their product across to existing and prospective

Death Blooms – ‘Fuck Everything’

Anger seems like an easy emotion to feel right now. Whether it’s the seemingly endless political mess, the so-called ‘culture war’, the constant and inescapable erosion of rights for minorities and the vulnerable, even just the crushing frustration that comes with our current restricted way of living – it’s

Dollar Signs – ‘Hearts of Gold’

Since starting out as a folk-punk duo just over five years ago, North Carolina’s Dollar Signs have broadened their sound; embracing brass instrumentation, crossing over into other genres, and becoming a quintet in the process. Nevertheless, their mentality remains the same. They’re 9-to-5 creative punks with a tendency to

Opening an album by screaming “drinking real ale don’t make you a connoisseur” sets a reliable tone for Colchester four-piece Pet Needs’ debut LP. It takes mere seconds for the rumbling ball of chaotic energy that is ‘Fractured Party Music’ to explode in your face, and it’s
