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.

HotWax – Hot Shock

HotWax have been bubbling up under the radar since the release of their 2023 debut EP, ‘A Thousand Times’ and its follow-up, ‘Invite Me, Kindly’ later the same year. 2025 sees the release of their first LP, ‘Hot Shock’, through Marathon Artists. The tone of ‘Hot Shock’ is alternately

Spiritbox – ‘Tsunami Sea’

When Spiritbox announced ‘Tsunami Sea’, there was an anticipated hush across the music industry. Their debut ‘Eternal Blue’ was received to cries of adoration from fans and critics alike, with claims that the band was one to watch out for. It can be hard to live up to such

LIVE: Spiritbox / Periphery / Stray From The Path @ Alexandra Palace, London

For one night only, Spiritbox are gracing the UK with their presence. We all knew they’d be back after their slot supporting Korn last year, but selling out the ten thousand strong Alexandra Palace is a whole different ball game for the Canadians. It’s all part of their quiet

Anxious – ‘Bambi’

A sophomore album can be a tricky one for the artist, but for the listener? It holds the promise of vindication in your faith in a band. When Connecticut’s own Anxious dropped their debut back in 2022, we knew they were on to something special with their bubblegum-emo-with-hardcore-roots sound.

Church Tongue – ‘You’ll Know It Was Me’ EP

Metalcore is an incredibly exciting genre to be a fan of, especially in recent years. Bands like Chamber, Boundaries and God Complex are just some of the names that come to mind, all lending a hand to reignite the fire the genre had in its golden years and carving
