British rock five piece, Brightlight City are releasing their latest EP, Our Future’s Not Dead, this April and it is as bright as the lights in their hypothetical city! Between playing tours and sharing stages with bands like Rise Against, the band have put together a four track EP that certainly shows their talents. At […]

Everyday Sidekicks – Hope

Bristol’s post-hardcore quartet Everyday Sidekicks are back with their new EP Hope. The record is set for release on March 31st and they bring the heavy. The EP is a major progression from it’s predecessor and a pretty darn good one too! Opening track Glass House is angsty and has an interesting melody. The vocals […]

Northlane – Mesmer

It’s March 24th and Northlane have a surprise for us all, the band have spontaneously dropped new album Mesmer. I was one of the lucky ones who got to hear it before its release so check out the track by track review of the record below; The gritty guitars of opening track Citizen build into […]

COAST TO COAST – THE LENGTH OF A SMILE

Birmingham pop punk band Coast To Coast will soon be releasing their latest EP – The Length of a Smile. With influences from bands such as Real Friends and Modern Baseball, I was curious to hear this. The very first thing that stuck out to me on the first track (Ajax) was the vocals. The […]

Blood Youth – Beyond Repair

Harrogate hardcore trio Blood Youth are set to release their debut album Beyond Repair on April 7th. The record is the highly anticipated follow-up to EPs Inside My Head (2015) and Closure (2016). So let’s have a listen and see what the trio have come up with. Opener Making Waves is straight in with a […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. […]
