ALTERNATIVE MUSIC REVIEWS

Creeper – Eternity In Your Arms

Southampton punks Creeper are more than just a pretty decent band, they give fans a whole other world to live in. After the release of third EP The Stranger (Roadrunner Records, 2016), the band’s disappearance and the story of James Scythe sent fans into a frenzy and attracted media attention throughout the world. During this […]

Lower Than Atlantis, Young Guns, Hands Like Houses & ROAM @ Great Hall, Cardiff

On a day where the people of Wales descended on Cardiff to celebrate the final day of the 2017 RBS Six Nations Championship (and drown their sorrows after Wales’ heartbreaking loss to France), rock fans were heading to Cardiff University’s Great Hall for a different reason. The reason; Lower Than Atlantis are closing out their […]

Halfnoise – Velvet Face

For die hard fans of Paramore, you probably have an understanding that Halfnoise is Zac Farro (former Paramore drummer) and if you are already familiar, you already understand this is not a comparison of his former successors. Indie / Chill would be the most accurate way to describe the vibe given from Farro’s project. As […]

Diet Cig – “Swear I’m Good At This”

Diet Cig are set to release their debut album “Swear I’m good At This” April 7th. The duo who met in New York in a very unique fashion, began playing music together in 2014. Who would’ve thought that Alex asking Noah for a lighter would lead to these individuals making great music together? If the […]

The Dollyrots- Whiplash Splash

It’s been an interesting winter this year and not in the good way. Like me, you may be worn down by the dark, the cold and just about everything else. Well don’t worry because the spring is here and along with it comes the new record from California Bubblegum Punks, The Dollyrots. Whiplash Splash is […]

The Raven Age- Darkness Will Rise

UK metal band, The Raven Age have had a pretty eventful few years. The band formed in 2013 and quickly built up a reputation with their incredible live shows and dramatic musical styling. In 2016 the band found themselves supporting none other than Iron Maiden. The band supported Maiden around the world in 2016 before […]

Sorority Noise – You’re Not As __ You Think

Emotive punk rockers Sorority Noise are set to release their new album You’re Not As __ You Think on 17th March. The album, much like some of their previous work, is an intimate, emotional look into the last year of the bands life. Whilst emotional and in places dark this album has an underlying theme […]

Black Map – In Droves

Black Map’s new EP ‘In Droves’ is best described as eclectic and buzzy, ranging from fuzzy anger pop, to Muse-esque songs, there’s a lot going on in this album. Opening with ‘Run Rabbit Run,’ the album is given a solid pace, by this extremely strong track, buzzier than a beard of bees yet slick as […]

All Time Low @ Hammersmith Apollo

As I arrive to the venue, I find a queue zig-zagged, and stretched over a 10 minute walk away from the venue itself to find the end of it, like waiting for the opening of a huge festival, as my mind wonders how the hell all these people will fit in such a space. As […]

Deference – False Awakening

Southampton 5 piece Deference may be new to the metal game but they have already been making waves. Their latest EP, False Awakening, is set for release at the end of March and is sure to help continue with their rise and give people a taste of what to expect in the future. Revolving around […]

Havok – Conformicide

Thrash metallers Havok have been working on latest release Conformicide for the last three years and early reports from the released tracks suggest it is set to top 2013’s Unnatural Selection. Opening track F.P.C has a calm, atmospheric opening instrumental which is not something you’d expect in a thrash record. It honestly sounds like a […]

Ryan Hamilton & The Traitors @ Old Church London

As Ryan Hamilton & The Traitors take to the stage in the unique church by day, venue by night atmosphere, he starts off by asking the familiar-faced crowd if he can say the F-word in a church, already having a fun time with the crowd. As Ryan opens with a solo acoustic / vocals, a […]

Catch Fire – A Love That I Still Miss

Catch Fire are releasing their sophomore EP, ‘A Love That I Still Miss’, on March 24th. The album kicks off with ‘Poise’, an instrumental full of delicate riffs. At this point, I don’t quite know what to expect from the band, but it’s quite a nice introduction to the album, and I’m happy to listen. […]

Temples – Volcano

Temples have just released ‘Volcano’, the follow up to 2014’s Top-10 album, ‘Sun Structures’. ‘Volcano’ is a beautifully crafted 60’s psychedelic dream journey, and I am in love with every single song. Genuinely, the album is up there with my all time favourites. This album varies on psychedelia with elements of acoustic, rock, and pop, […]

A Will Away – Here Again

  Take Hawthorne Heights, throw in a mixture of You me at Six and Moose Blood (who doesn’t love that combination!) and what you get is A Will Away; Candy coated dark pop-punk. Opening with elegant guitar riffs and sugar sweet vocals ‘Here Again’, the albums namesake track is an extremely strong opening track, and […]
