Live: Murder By Death @ Islington Assembly Hall

It’s a bittersweet night at Islington Assembly Hall. After all, it’s always a joyous occasion to see your favourite band play live, right?  Unfortunately, everyone in the room knows that, unless they plan to travel to the US to catch any other shows on this tour, it’s going

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

Greyhaven – ‘KEEP IT QUIET’

The word ‘grey’ has plenty of negative connotations. Tarmac is grey, the sky is grey, depression is grey, porridge is grey, the mood is very much grey. Despite it being part of their name, ‘grey’ is the last colour you’d use to describe Greyhaven’s new record. Technically,

TV CULT – ‘Industry’

German post punks TV CULT describe their music as “somewhere between The Cure and Minor.” Their debut album, 2023’s ‘Colony’, lent hard on their punk influences and led to the band touring with acts such as Ditz and Militarie Gun. ‘Industry’, the sophomore follow-up, sees the band embrace

The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus – ‘X’s For Eyes’

AFI – ‘Silver Bleeds The Black Sun…’

‘Silver Bleeds the Black Sun…’ is not a record from the AFI that play in the memory of every early noughties alt kid. The masters of subtle reinvention, who slid from hardcore basements to MTV screens, who flew their Black Sails In The Sunset across a Silver and Cold

Orbit Culture – ‘DEATH ABOVE LIFE’

The world is filled with incredible places. Should you ever have the chance to visit Krakow, take the time to explore the Wieliczka salt mines. A maze of tunnels, grand rooms, polished surfaces and pillars, these retired caverns offer a glimpse of the past. Deep underground, the

PRESIDENT – ‘KING OF TERRORS’

It’s been less than five months since PRESIDENT took the world by storm with their first single and now finally we’re being treated to a six song EP. Since ‘In The Name Of The Father’ was released all the way back in May, there’s been mixed reviews

LIVE: TURNOVER @ THE ROUNDHOUSE

Anyone who wasn’t a teenager when ‘Peripheral Vision’ dropped in 2015 probably wouldn’t get what all the fuss is about. But for those who spent countless hours lying on bedroom floors letting Austin Getz’s dreamy vocals wash over them like some kind of musical hypnotherapy, Saturday night at the
