ALTERNATIVE MUSIC REVIEWS

Camel Of Doom- Terrestrial | Review

British Doom metal band, Camel Of Doom are unveiling their record Terrestrial to the world on the 2nd of December and it’s certainly not something you’ll get the hump with. Camel and extra-terrestrial/ out-of-this-world puns aside, the band’s fourth album does not disappoint. This doom metal record certainly does not spell doom for the band […]

Alter Bridge @ Motorpoint Arena, Cardiff

Alter Bridge are a band that you can be sure will put on a good show. After releasing latest album The Last Hero in October, anticipation was high for their UK tour. We hit up the Motorpoint Arena in Cardiff to see if the quartet can still live up to the hype. First up is […]

Pierce the Veil @Great Hall, Cardiff

Pierce the Veil fans have been waiting a long time for the band to release a new album and finally got their wish earlier this year when Misadventures dropped. Each track on the record is arena worthy and built up the excitement ready for the Misadventures World tour, of which the UK leg kicked off […]

Being As An Ocean @ The Key Club, Leeds 8/11/16

Gingerdope Photography Starting off the night were UK Alternative/Hardcore band Casey. Atmospheric emotive melodies started to fill the room as their frontman jumped from the front of the stage to set himself up amongst the crowd for the duration of their set, adding that personal touch to the performance. They had a raw honesty radiating […]

Hello Bear – I Don’t Know…It’s Fun Though, isn’t it?

“I Don’t Know… It’s Fun Though, isn’t it?” Well, I’ll say! I was given the chance to review Hello Bear’s New EP and what a wonderful opportunity it was! The EP is four tracks that are full of so much life! Giving the listener flashbacks to when pop punk first surfaced, with the lyrics on […]

Panic! At The Disco at Alexandra Palace | Live Review

It was Panic! At The Disco's biggest headline show in the UK at Alexandra Palace, and it was phenomenal.

SEASONS, Nineteen Fifty Eight & Montreux Fires – Live @ Fuel Rock Club, Cardiff | Review

I recently reviewed SEASONS' new EP and today I was off to SEASONS' first day of tour in Cardiff. Their were three bands on the line up these were Montreux Fires, SEASONS and Nineteen Fifty Eight.

Guttermouth – New Car Smell

The Huntington beach bad boys, Guttermouth are back with latest EP, New Car Smell. The follow up to ‘Got It Made’. ‘Got It Made’ was their first release of new tracks in 10 years. That was in July. Now a few months down the line the Punk southerners are back with six heavy, fast and loud tracks.

Soil @ O2 Academy Islington, London

In amongst Angel shopping centre lies the Islington Academy, one of few old-school music venues still kicking about. Walking up the stairs the wealth of dried beer and B.O is so potent I can taste it. Through the double doors leads into the dark area...

Lamb of God – The Duke | EP Review

Lamb of God are releasing new EP The Duke on November 18. The record’s title track is inspired by a fan’s battle with leukaemia. The band are also providing memorabilia for a charity campaign with all proceeds going to benefit the Leukaemia and Lymphoma society. With that in mind let’s have a listen to the EP.

Beyond Recall – Selfish Scars

Bristol alternative trio Beyond Recall have been winning the hearts of fans and media alike with their down to earth attitude, professionalism and not to mention fresh blend of rock, hip-hop and massive melodies (if you think of Twenty One Pilots but about 10000000x better, you may be on the scale of these guys!) January 13, 2017, sees the trio release their latest EP Selfish Scars and this is what I thought of it.

Ray Toro – Remember the Laughter – Album review

Ray Toro has been working on this album for three and a half years - since the demise of My Chemical Romance. All of the working and refining has been put to good use, this album is phenomenal.

Ion Dissonance – Cast The First Stone

Their first album since 2010, Ion Dissonance are back with Cast The First Stone. Described as an album that 'doesn't fuck about,' the band have put together something that sets out to show them at their best. Their brutal and technical style has been praised for bringing something next level to the music sphere and this time round that's exactly what they have set out to do once again.

Losing Ground – Old Glory

If they slowed down the vocals but kept the playful speed of the mandolin I would have liked Old Glory a lot more. It shows great potential but, being an EP it doesn't give them time to show all of what they have to give and I suspect they are better live than what is shown on this EP.

The Vigil – Save Our Souls

Bristol rockers The Vigil are set to release debut album Save Our Souls on November 25. The band have supported the likes of Puddle of Mud, Therapy? and more and the record was produced by Bush’s Nigel Pulsford (are you getting the same awesome feeling that I am?).
