Sadness & Complete Disappointment – ‘Fun’

If a band named Sadness & Complete Disappointment tell you they’ve released a record, you can guarantee there are some prevailing themes amongst their discography. The “Kate-Bush-core” trio, as they have stylised themselves, are in the business of misery, and while ironically named, the debut EP from

Tigers Jaw – ‘I Won’t Care How You Remember Me’

When more than half the band unexpectedly quit back in 2013, it would have been so easy for the remaining members of Tigers Jaw to call it a day right there and then. Thank the emo gods that they didn’t, because the work that guitarist/vocalist Ben Walsh and vocalist/keyboardist

The Hyena Kill – ‘A Disconnect’

The last time we heard from Manchester’s The Hyena Kill was on 2018’s ‘Spun’ EP. It saw vocalist/guitarist Steven Dobb and drummer Lorna Blundell make a statement of intent, cementing them as a band worth keeping an eye on. Now, after almost a decade since their formation, Sam

Carpool Tunnel – ‘Bloom’

Call up your friends, load up the convertible and throw away the map, because Carpool Tunnel are transporting us to sun-soaked California along the winding Mulholland Highway. Feel the wind in your hair as you look out over cliffs, snaking your way down to the pristine beaches

Sydney Sprague – ‘maybe i will see you at the end of the world’

Based out of Phoenix, Arizona, singer-songwriter and self-confessed bedroom daydreamer Sydney Sprague kicked off her musical journey late last year with a run of singles from debut LP ‘maybe i will see you at the end of the world’. Lead single and album opener ‘i refuse to

NOFX – ‘Single Album’

There have been times during their almost 40-year career that a new NOFX record has all the hallmarks of a band going through the motions. A collection of songs that have seemingly been created merely out of an obligation of fulfilling a contract, leaving absolutely no lasting

Timelost – ‘Gushing Interest’

Drawing instant comparisons to 90s royalty such as Hum and Sonic Youth, ‘Gushing Interest’ is the latest release from Philadelphia’s Timelost. Five tracks (and a cover), it’s more of an EP than it is an album proper – though when faced with the sheer weight and claustrophobia of the
