Senses Fail have been producing incredible post-hardcore records for around 15 years now and decided to foray into the acoustic world. We had a listen to their first acoustic EP In Your Absence which is set for release on March 5, 2017. Opening track Jets To Peru is not really a strong track to […]
Managing to capture the angst and protest spirit of punk rock and blend it with hooks and melody more akin to the indie rock and power pop of the 90’s, Empty Lungs have an energy and determination second to none. Then again, when you grow up in Belfast, Northern Ireland at the tail end of […]
Within The Ruins have been making quite a name for themselves recently in the death-metal genre. With their 5th album release (and third via E1 Music record label) Halfway Human has expectations to reach. Let me give you a track by track review. Opening with a low beefy riff on Shape Shifter, with a classic […]
London quad Nightlife have never appeared on my radar before, after being in London for a year, I am ashamed that is the case. They can only move onwards and upwards with this great release, which I hope will see them soar as high as the vocal range throughout the album. Left Alone is the […]
Hailing from Scotland, experimental 4 piece Vukovi have slowly and surely been making waves in the music world. March 10th sees the band finally release their self titled debut album. Opening track, La Di Da, which debuted as a single in 2016, is a track that doesn’t hold back. Instantly kicking in with lead singer […]
The quintet from down-under that you may not know about, Figures mean business when they put together an EP containing 4 tracks that punch out an incredibly unique take on influences between the century mark. The Melbourne lads want to be found from across the world, and I am here to install a message to […]
Fans of Panic At The Disco rejoice, because this one is made for you! All I Wanna Know, the debut single from up-coming EP ‘Spilt Milk‘ by self-proclaimed ‘Dirt-Pop’ outfit Critics, is a blast of synths, guitars and harmonies to create a split between feel good fun times and an altogether more sinister tone. A […]
Miraculous Mule are back with their second album: Two Tonne Testimony. The 10-track album mixes blues, gospel driven rock n roll, psychedelia, and stoner rock to create something great. It was written over the last two years, and if you like anything from The Black Keys, to Tame Impala, to Creeper, even, you’ll probably enjoy this. […]
Homebound are not the band I would usually listen to, labelling themselves as UK pop punk, much like a slightly heavier early Blink 182, but to my surprise I was impressed with the overall quality of the EP, mostly the melody and lyrics in the songs and I can now see why they have a good […]
This Alternative-Folk release is beautifully crafted, evolving the voice into an instrument in its own right, a dream like texture flowing through Americana guitar lines and emotive lyrics. The distinct production effects on the vocals means that you have to really focus to actually understand the words and not just ‘hear’ the sounds. Concentrating on […]
Vitja is the Russian equivalent of Victor, which means winner and it seems like Vitja are on to a winner here! The German quartet are set to release album Digital Love on Friday March 3, 2017 and we got a chance to listen to it. SCUM kicks the album off with a nice riff which […]

Female fronted metal bands are rather cool aren’t they? They’ve been around for as long as metal has been a thing, but the modern day seems to be bringing a metric shit-tonne of incredible new ladies to the front of the heavier, chuggier side of music, with the likes of Butcher Babies and New Years […]
For those who haven’t heard All Them Witches before I’ll try to describe them in one word. Magical. They’re magical, enchanting even, and quite unlike many bands out there. 2012’s Our Mother Electricity and 2014’s Lightning At The Door will give you a better idea of the bands sound than writing ever could. The band […]
Peace In Chaos is the newest EP from The Final Clause of Tacitus, due to be released on February 24th. It has a cool title, cool cover art, all that’s left is the music. The first track is 7 Years. Right away, this catchy track will get your head nodding. That, and it has a […]
