ALTERNATIVE MUSIC REVIEWS

The OBGMs – The OBGMs

Toronto, Canada has given the world its fair share of exciting punk bands in recent years, from PUP to Fucked Up and The Dirty Nil, but it’s never produced one quite like THE OBGMs before. This band, who’s name stands for The Ooohh Baby Gimme Mores, began life as a rap group before picking up […]

Skies In Motion- Life Lessons

The first few minutes into this album I knew I’d found my new favourite hardcore band. Derby based five piece, Skies In Motion are the band responsible for the record we have before us. It’s a rollercoaster ride of chugging riffs, soaring choruses and brutal breakdowns. As debut records go, does it get much better? […]

SHADED – The Better Man In Me

Surrey-based pop-punk quartet, SHADED, have released their debut EP ‘The Better Man In Me‘, and it’s a punchy six-track mix inspired by all of your favourite pop-punk bands. The first thing that strikes me with this band is that they don’t sound like your average pop-punk band. In a genre that can often sound a […]

Four Year Strong – Some of You Will Like This, Some of You Won’t

Four Year Strong have returned with a brand new album, Some of You Will Like This, Some of You Won’t. A rather honest title, but we’re pretty sure a lot of you will like this one, whether you’re new to the band or not. The album begins with an acoustic version of It Must Really […]

Soft Fangs – Fractures

Soft Fangs, much in the same manner as Zeal and Ardor is only a band in aural terms. This is a one man project by John Lutkevich, who described Soft Fangs as ‘just a name for the music I make’ in an interview with Independent Music News in 2016. This is the second full length […]

Blindwish – Good Excuses

Blindwish are set to release their debut album Good Excuses on September 1. The rockers have that 00’s feel and have grabbed our attention here at AltCorner! Opening track After Midnight has an interesting opening and kicks into some melodic vocals and good guitar work.. The track was co-written by John Feldmann and almost anything […]

Montroze – ESCAPE

In 2012 UK pop-punk began its takeover and Bath natives Montroze have been there since the beginning, releasing a steady stream of EPs that have seen them polish and refine their sound. Their latest release ESCAPE sees them take the next step in their evolution with six tracks that aim to capture the rawness of […]

Breaking Benjamin @ O2 Forum Kentish Town

As the house lights go down for openers Starset, 2 lit up screens on each side of the stage illuminate the room while a deep rumbling bass tone fills the O2 Forum for a lengthy duration, causing the onlookers to give up chanting their name while eagerly awaiting any sign of life on stage. Now […]

Faces of Eve – Faces Of Eve

Hertfordshire’s prog metal Faces of Eve have released their debut self-titled album, mixing technical post-hardcore, metalcore, and tech metal. As Above kicks in immediately, full of killer, face-melting riffs, courtesy of Dan Sloane, with more of a pop punk style vocal line from Benjamin Black – think early Fall Out Boy. From the off-set, you […]

Bodhi – Ineffable

Everyone is said to have an alter-ego, but does everyone else’s create awesome music? Well Justin Seymour’s alter-ego Bodhi does with his latest project Ineffable, and it can easily become the soundtrack to your life. At least for certain aspects. The 6 track project is raw guitar that takes the listener on an adventure. Each […]

Marmozets @ Arts Club Liverpool

The weight of expectation must be lying very heavy on the shoulders of Marmozets. Having burst onto the scene with their magnificent debut album The Weird and Wonderful in 2014, they have been absent for nearly 2 years following Becca’s recovery from a serious knee injury. It now transpires that they have not been idle and that […]

Tigers Jaw @ The Joiners, Southampton

Pennsylvania indie-rockers Tigers Jaw have returned to UK shores for a headline run in support of their fantastic new album Spin. I went along to catch their date at Southampton’s best-known sweatbox The Joiners. The job of getting things started on a drizzly Friday night is given to local ‘dirty pop’ outfit Faux, who certainly […]

InVisions – Never Nothing

York metalcore rockers InVisions have slowly been teasing their self released debut album, Never Nothing, for a while now. Having released three singles from the record –  Turn Up, a party anthem. followed by Purge, tinged with the darker side of metalcore and concluding with the latest single is Soul Seeker. The album is finally here and it’s as loud […]

Neck Deep – The Peace and The Panic!

I have to be honest, I became a fan of Neck Deep‘s second album Life’s Not Out To Get You and then kinda just went off in a different direction and didn’t pay that much attention to them as they made a rapid rise to new age pop-punk kings. So as the release date for […]

Hundred Suns – The Prestaliis

The Prestaliis, a hugely anticipated album from Hundred Suns completed by Cory Brandan (vocalist of Norma Jean), Chris Lemasters (ex-guitarist of Dead And Divine) and Ryan Leger (ex-drummer of Every Time I Die) which is set to drop 11th August via New Damage Records. Boasting some of the biggest names in post-hardcore / metalcore as […]
