ALTERNATIVE MUSIC REVIEWS

ROAM- Great Heights and Nosedives

Eastbourne pop punk act, ROAM have done pretty well for themselves so far. The band signed to US punk label Hopeless in 2014, joining a star studded roster containing bands like Sum 41 and New Found Glory. Having already released an EP on the label in 2015 and their debut album, Backbone, last year the […]

Fozzy – Judas

Fozzy are back with their latest album Judas. The rockers have a strong fanbase yet are still underrated considering the talent that is shown in bucket loads throughout all their work. The album kicks straight off with title track Judas, a song that has amassed over 9 million views! If you think of classic hard […]

Canvas & supports @ Undertone, Cardiff

Undertone, Cardiff’s little basement venue is the destination for tonight as post-hardcorers Canvas promote their recently released album Worry. Due to work and the delay to all the trains (thanks football and Arriva Trains Wales…), I arrive at the venue almost at the end of local and opening band Defeatist. What I did catch though […]

Cope – Tooth & Nail

Friday the 13th is infamously known for bad luck around the world, but for fans of London band Cope, their new release of Tooth & Nail will be anything but bad news.   Starting off short and sweet is Stray Bullets, a wicked introduction to the album to get listners pumped up on what’s to […]

Coasts at Electric Ballroom

Indie-pop five-piece, Coasts, took to Camden’s Electric Ballroom last night, turning the venue into an electronic dream-fest, debuting songs from their new sophomore album, ‘This Life, Vol.1 ’. Storming on stage to the sounds of thunderous applause and the eardrum bursting screams of everyone in the venue, Coasts began their set with the synth-fuelled ‘Modern […]

Canvas – Worry

On Friday, Canvas released their new album Worry (Basick Records). Opening with the almost acoustic Stay A While, the focus is purely on the lyrics which are delivered by beautiful vocals. This is definitely not the opening you would expect for a post-hardcore album but it creates an emotional atmosphere. As Low kicks in, it’s […]

King Capisce – Memento Mori

Sheffield experimental instrumental band King Capisce are set to release their third studio album Memento Mori on 6th October. The record sees the band continue the jazz/rock crossover style. As expected the musical skill of this band can’t be questioned at any point throughout the album. The album opens with what is probably the most […]

The Glorious Sons – Young Beauties and Fools

The Glorious Sons, led by brothers Brett and Jay Emmons, have released their sophomore album, ‘Young Beauties and Fools‘. It’s a 10-track musical storm centered around being young and foolish, and everything that comes with it. It follows the success of their debut ‘The Union‘ which saw the band win the SiriusXM Indie Award for […]

August Burns Red- Phantom Anthem

If you pay any attention to the world of metalcore recently then you’ve surely heard of August Burns Red. Just in case you haven’t, August Burns Red are an American five piece band who have rose steadily through the heavy music ranks since their 2003 debut album, Thrill Seeker. Since then the band have released […]

Paceshifters – Waiting To Derail

Dutch alt-rock three piece, Paceshifters are set to release their new album Waiting To Derail on 6th October. The album continues to showcase the bands highly grunge influence sound, all the while it remains current and never sounds outdated. The main difference in this album to the trios previous works is the larger production, the […]

Witterquick – Fire & Ice EP

Pop-rock four-piece Witterquick have released a new EP, ‘Fire & Ice‘, following a sold-out tour and an incredibly successful debut EP. ‘Shattered Suns‘ gets you immediately hooked, and sees the band blend heavier rock elements with very melodic vocals and electric synth sounds. It’s almost reminiscent of Bring Me The Horizon‘s slower songs on ‘That’s […]

Never Found – The Human Condition

South Wales/Oxford metalcore quartet Never Found are about to release their new EP The Human Condition. The band have garnered a strong fanbase since the release of their brilliant debut EP back in 2015. Opening with the title track, we are greeted by a siren and spoken word introduction creating an atmosphere from the start. […]

Black Cat Bones – Down To The River EP

The retro rock scene is saturated beyond belief. In the last few years the bottom slots on the mainstage at Download Festival have been filled with the likes of Tyler Bryant and the Shakedown, or Monster Truck or Inglorious. The glaring problem with all these bands is that, at the end of the day, they […]

I Am Giant w/ New Volume @ Rebellion Manchester

If you can rely on one thing in life, it’s terrible weather in Manchester. Just on the short walk from the station I get soaked and it’s a relief to duck into the small but welcoming Rebellion club. Main support tonight comes from South African/British alt rock trio New Volume and their catchy, hook laden […]

Citizen – As You Please

Citizen are set to release new album As You Please on 6th October. As You Please is a dark brooding album which is both introspective and aware of what’s going on elsewhere. The album approaches simple personal issues as well much larger social issues using meaningful metaphorical lyrics. Compared to its predecessors the album is […]
