Stone Sour – Hydrograd

Stone Sour are set to release new album Hydrograd on June 30. The 15 track record has been highly anticipated and we had a listen to see just how good it is! YSIF opens with the line ‘hello you bastards’ and immediately, I know I’m going to love this! The intermittent instrumental following the opening […]

After The Departure – S/T

Leeds metalcore band After The Departure, have recently released their brand new EP of the same name. The EP’s introduction begins with Premonition. It begins with a fast techno style tune, creating a sort of space-like feel. However, it’s when the screaming comes in when the track really takes off. It’s a shame it’s a […]

In Hearts Wake – Ark

Released on 26th May 2017, In Hearts Wake’s fourth studio album Ark follows a triumphant tour supporting While She Sleeps and precedes an upcoming headline tour of the UK in October. Aside from the music itself, much can be said about the concept of the album. One thing that stands out, for example, are the […]

Faux – S/T

Brit alt-rockers Faux released their self-titled EP on June 16. The band have a sturdy fan base behind them and with this EP it isn’t hard to see why! Opening track Speak Up kicks in with smooth vocals. It’s catchy and a strong start to the record. Around is mellow and has a good drum […]

The Strypes – Spitting Image

The Strypes are back with ‘Spitting Image‘, and it’s a cracker full of rock riffs, infectious rhythms, catchy vocals; and if anyone can bring back the harmonica (did it even really leave?), it’s these guys. The album opens with ‘Behind Closed Doors‘, and you can immediately tell how the band have progressed over the two […]

Thirty Silver – Welcome Home

Thirty Silver are set to release Welcome Home, a 9 track LP on June 30th! The band formed in the city of Boston of 2014. With their own unique sound of heavy rock n’ roll the duo that consists of Drew Smith on guitar & vocals, and Joe Z playing drums. The duo are a […]

Eden Royals – Time Won’t Wait

Eden Royals are an indie pop-rock duo from Essex, who, with the help of multiple local musicians, have released their Time Won’t Wait EP.

Jule Vera – Waiting For The Sun

Jule Vera are the pop sensations in the making that you need to listen to! Debut album Waiting For The Sun is set for release on June 16 and believe me, even if you aren’t a pop fan (believe me, I am not!), you’ll most likely enjoy this! The quintet are also heading out on […]

CKY – The Phoenix

The Phoenix is CKY’s first album since 2009’s Carver City and has been very long-awaited. The eight track record opens with latest single Replaceable, which has an interesting opening instrumental that is attention grabbing.

The record opens with the title track Last Young Renegade, a mellow guitar introduces smooth vocals and straight away shows a more mature feel to a band who have been one of the world’s favourite pop […]

Figures – Chronos

Well what can I say, Chronos by Figures is musically a ground-shaking earth-shattering melodic EP with straight up hard hitting riffs, combining a thunderous rhythm section with pulsing melodic grooves to all in all a pretty darn good record. The only thing letting it down slightly are some of the vocals, where in places either don’t come […]

CHON – HOMEY

Next week, California-based group CHON will be releasing their highly anticipated album Homey. The album begins with Sleepy Tea, which has a kind of chill/psychedelic feel to it at the beginning. However, what’s worth noting is that the drums in the background are very fast-paced and upbeat, which contradicts the other instrumentals slightly. But that’s […]

Donnie Willow – Exhibitions EP

Donnie Willow set to release their second instalment titled Exhibition June 9th, which is set to be a good eye opener for their future. Already boasting some pretty nifty support slots in the past with Don Broco, Black Peaks and Fatherson, they are now set to take another 9 date UK tour starting on the […]
