ALTERNATIVE MUSIC REVIEWS

Selina Fever – The Monachopsis King

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 – Digital Love

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 […]

Feeder – Another Day on Earth / Paperweight

Feeder have released two more brilliant singles following the latest album ‘All Bright Electric’ 0ut October last year, returning to the music scene after a four-year hiatus.

Once Human – Evolution

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 […]

All Them Witches- Sleeping Through The War

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 […]

THE FINAL CLAUSE OF TACITUS – PEACE IN CHAOS

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 […]

Decade – Pleasantries

Decade are back with new album, ‘Pleasantries’. It’s more than pleasant, and takes their music to another level from their debut album in 2014, ‘Good Luck’. Decade have done extremely well to create a new sound which isn’t really anywhere else, by combining a rage of sounds which are already in the mainstream. If you’re […]

Two Door Cinema Club @ Alexandra Palace

Two Door Cinema Club are a band I’ve wanted to see live for about 6 years, and at London’s Alexandra Palace, they didn’t disappoint. For fans of Tourist History, it was a dream.  The majority of the songs were fun throwbacks which got everyone moving. Songs from their later albums were well selected to ensure […]

Ghost Iris – Blind World

Ghost Iris are set to release Blind World on February 17. The Danish prog metallers were one of the most streamed Danish metal acts of 2016 and have come a long way since their formation in 2015, with this being their second record and they’ve toured Europe twice! The increasing volume of the atmospheric first […]

Hometruths – Open Your Eyes

Brit hardcore/metallers Hometruths are set to release their debut EP Open Your Eyes on March 3rd.
