ALTERNATIVE MUSIC REVIEWS

Senses Fail – In Your Absence

  Senses Fail have been producing incredible post-hardcore records for around 15 years now and decided to foray into the acoustic world. We had a listen to their first acoustic EP In Your Absence which is set for release on March 5, 2017. Opening track Jets To Peru is not really a strong track to […]

Where Fires Are live in Leeds

Closing their UK tour (following their release of their 3rd EP) in their home city of Leeds, I was extremely impressed with this band I’d never heard of previously. Not only have they become a confident outfit who look at ease on stage, lead singer Robbie Gillespie has an awesome, formidable vocal range. James Clegg […]

Empty Lungs – ‘Don’t Get It’

Managing to capture the angst and protest spirit of punk rock and blend it with hooks and melody more akin to the indie rock and power pop of the 90’s, Empty Lungs have an energy and determination second to none. Then again, when you grow up in Belfast, Northern Ireland at the tail end of […]

Touché Amoré live @ Islington Academy London

Touché Amoré displayed their brilliant version of emotive hardcore at their biggest ever London show, in front of a sold out Islington Academy. Touring in support of their sensational 2016 effort, “Stage Four”, the five piece proved why many consider them the best and forefront of the emotive hardcore scene. Unfortunately initially billed openers, UK […]

Within The Ruins – Halfway Human

Within The Ruins have been making quite a name for themselves recently in the death-metal genre. With their 5th album release (and third via E1 Music record label) Halfway Human has expectations to reach. Let me give you a track by track review. Opening with a low beefy riff on Shape Shifter, with a classic […]

Nightlife – Salt & Acid

London quad Nightlife have never appeared on my radar before, after being in London for a year, I am ashamed that is the case. They can only move onwards and upwards with this great release, which I hope will see them soar as high as the vocal range throughout the album. Left Alone is the […]

Vukovi – Vukvoi

Hailing from Scotland, experimental 4 piece Vukovi have slowly and surely been making waves in the music world. March 10th sees the band finally release their self titled debut album. Opening track, La Di Da, which debuted as a single in 2016, is a track that doesn’t hold back. Instantly kicking in with lead singer […]

Figures – Figures EP

The quintet from down-under that you may not know about, Figures mean business when they put together an EP containing 4 tracks that punch out an incredibly unique take on influences between the century mark. The Melbourne lads want to be found from across the world, and I am here to install a message to […]

101 Word Reviews: Critics – All I Wanna Know

Fans of Panic At The Disco rejoice, because this one is made for you! All I Wanna Know, the debut single from up-coming EP ‘Spilt Milk‘ by self-proclaimed ‘Dirt-Pop’ outfit Critics, is a blast of synths, guitars and harmonies to create a split between feel good fun times and an altogether more sinister tone. A […]

Miraculous Mule – Two Tonne Testimony

Miraculous Mule are back with their second album: Two Tonne Testimony. The 10-track album mixes blues, gospel driven rock n roll, psychedelia, and stoner rock to create something great. It was written over the last two years, and if you like anything from The Black Keys, to Tame Impala, to Creeper, even, you’ll probably enjoy this. […]

Homebound – The Mould You Build Yourself Around

Homebound are not the band I would usually listen to, labelling themselves as UK pop punk, much like a slightly heavier early Blink 182, but to my surprise I was impressed with the overall quality of the EP, mostly the melody and lyrics in the songs and I can now see why they have a good […]

Selina Fever – The Monachopsis King

This Alternative-Folk release is beautifully crafted, evolving the voice into an instrument in its own right, a dream like texture flowing through Americana guitar lines and emotive lyrics. The distinct production effects on the vocals means that you have to really focus to actually understand the words and not just ‘hear’ the sounds. Concentrating on […]

Vitja – Digital Love

Vitja is the Russian equivalent of Victor, which means winner and it seems like Vitja are on to a winner here! The German quartet are set to release album Digital Love on Friday March 3, 2017 and we got a chance to listen to it. SCUM kicks the album off with a nice riff which […]

Feeder – Another Day on Earth / Paperweight

Feeder have released two more brilliant singles following the latest album ‘All Bright Electric’ 0ut October last year, returning to the music scene after a four-year hiatus. Having been pretty much raised on Feeder’s music I was very excited when the new album was announced last year and the singles ‘Another Day on Earth’ and […]

Chelsea Grin and friends @ Clwb Ifor Bach, Cardiff

BANG! That’s what the Self-Inflicted tour came in with and that’s down to the A* bands and their stellar performances like the one they gave on the 6th of February at CLWB IFOR BACH.
