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 […]

From the off-set, you […]

Bodhi – Ineffable

Everyone is said to have an alter-ego, but does everyone else’s create awesome music?

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 […]
