It's not really debatable at this point that Texas Hippie Coalition have a formula that, nine times out of ten, they stick to.

And somehow, six albums in, it still kinda works, here more so than before.

Prognosis are a quartet from the aforementioned city of Manchester with one hell of a debut record on the way. Definition […]

As Code Orange headed off stage to a stunned crowd, I wondered how I would start this review. What came to mind was; three of the most exciting bands in metal, and Trivium, wow Brixton. I decided against that as it sounds critical towards Trivium. A stance I definitely didn’t want to take once Trivium […]
