A Promise To Forget – Dying To Live

After overcoming numerous hurdles along the way, Birmingham metalcore outfit A Promise To Forget are ready to drop their debut album Dying To Live in August. The fruit of their long labours is a self-released record of immense sincerity and personality. ‘Metalcore’ is something of a blanket term these days, applied to an increasingly disparate […]

British pop punk band, Milk Teeth have released their brand-spanking-new 4th EP (including 2 EPs and 1 studio album) named ‘Be Nice‘ after releasing their debut album ‘Sad Sack‘ over a year ago The EP consists of four kick-ass songs which includes, Owning Your Okayness, Prism, Fight Skirt and Hibernate. This album shows us all that the […]

The Cruel Knives – Side One

The Cruel Knives formed following the demise of Heavens Basement with Sid Glover and Rob Ellershaw teaming up again after the split and joining forces with Tom Harris and Al Junior. They’ve played shows with The Pretty Reckless and have now revealed debut EP Side One. Opening track The World We Were Sold begins with […]

White Noise Radio – Cosmos

Bristol based alt-rockers White Noise Radio formed in 2014 and released their first EP last spring. This summer’s successor, Cosmos, follows a similar course melding complex riffs and rhythms with huge radio ready choruses. This EP, however, does take a more direct approach with none of the songs out staying the 6 minute mark in […]

Fangclub Self Titled Debut Album

There is an album set to release in August that I’m sure fans can’t wait to sink their teeth into.. Or should I say fangs? Prepare yourself for the Dublin trio that makes up Fangclub. With singer Steven King, drummer Dara Coleman, and bassist Kevin Keane they are the brilliance that are gaining fans by […]

Fights And Fires – Live Life Like A Tourist

The new release from Fights And Fires on Lockjaw Records is an 8 track album, with diverse songs from start to finish. After a couple of albums, split releases, and an EP, their latest instalment Live Life Like A Tourist is sure to follow in the footpaths in selling out on all platforms. As Reggae […]

GOLDFINGER – THE KNIFE

It’s been almost ten years since Goldfinger released a new album. Well, good news for fans, because this Friday, the Los Angeles band will be releasing a brand new album, titled The Knife. The album begins will a real pop-punk banger, A Million Miles. This track has just what you’d expect from an epic pop […]

Killset – S.T.F.U

Killset released their sophomore album S.T.F.U on 7th July this year. Using producer Eddie Wohl once more, Killset maintain their late 90s, early 00s sound that is synonymous with Eddie’s work. The album is certainly a throwback and may provide some nostalgia, however it isn’t up to the standards of the most notable names of that […]

The Gospel Youth – Always Lose

It’s been a long time coming but finally the debut album from The Gospel Youth is here. It’s personal, kicks you right in the feelings and is everything you’d expect from the band and more. Full of emotion both lyrically and musically, Always Lose is an album with no holds barred. From the get go […]

Acacia Strain – Gravebloom

Deathcore band ‘Acacia Strain’ have released their 8th album, Gravebloom, and the 11 track mammoth of an album is full of heavy breakdowns, growls, and drone sounds. Faster songs like ‘Calloused Mouth’ and ‘Bitter Pill’ do well to add variety to the generally almost sludgy sound with rumbling bass lines and filthy riffs under rasping […]

In This Moment – Ritual

In This Moment are back with album number six – Ritual. As a fan of the band, I was excited to be able to listen to it early. The haunting instrumental of Salvation creates an atmospheric opening to the record. Oh Lord is repetitive with “oh lord” being used in almost every line and the […]

Jack The Envious – In Your Own Way

Jack The Envious are a very generous lot with EP number 2 In Your Own Way being released on July 14 as a free download! Now you don’t get much for free if it’s good quality these days… We’ve been a fan of the post-hardcore crew for quite a while here at AltCorner so let’s […]

Fearless Records Punk Goes Pop Vol 7

Fearless Records are back with a new Punk Goes Pop volume 7 (out July 14 via the label). Having previously featured the likes of Pierce The Veil, Rise Against, Asking Alexandria and Sleeping With Sirens amongst many more, it’s exciting to hear the new crop of acts chosen to cover some of the current pop […]

Separations – Bloom

There’s a new band in town full of talent that just released a new album! Separations are a band formed of 5 members from Atlanta, Georgia. This past June their second album “Bloom” was released, and I personally think they couldn’t have picked a better title. They’ve burst (dare I say Bloomed) into the music […]

Bellvue Days – Rosehill

The first thing I need to say about this band, is that their unique approach to writing and structuring songs combined with their expressive, dynamic range of vocals really brings something else to the table. Like a modern Radiohead with more of a sludgy pop edge. Their songs are more of a story, an emotional […]
