The Chats – ‘Get Fucked’

From the band that brought you songs about smoke breaks, dine and dashing, craving the nutritional glory of pub food and catching venereal diseases – everyone’s favourite mullet-adorning, garage punk Australians are back with a new, even more frantic record. Brisbane’s The Chats’ rise from scrappy

Joe Appleford – ‘Dystopian Dreams, Utopian Nightmares’

Croydon trio Bad Sign were very much in that group of UK alt-rock bands that should’ve been bigger, yet they succumbed to the trials and tribulations that any independent band goes through. For frontman Joe Appleford, Bad Sign’s end took it’s toll on the 28-year-old to the point he

Soulfly – ‘TOTEM’

You’ve heard the story of Alexander the Great, how saw everything he had achieved and wept because there were no more worlds to conquer; that’s how Max Cavalera must feel. Having redefined thrash, reshaped nu-metal, formed side-projects, fronted supergroups and worked with practically everyone under the sun there

Last year Hot Milk released a hit single called ‘Split Personality’ – listening to their new EP it seems strangely prescient. You know, perception is a funny thing. Browse a band’s social media and you’re never sure exactly what you’re seeing. Manchester’s Hot Milk are mischief
