ALTERNATIVE MUSIC REVIEWS

Single By Sunday @ O2 ABC Glasgow

After hearing a lot of hype about this band, I decided to go along to see what all of the talk was about. It was a rather eventful show, each band were on for 30 minutes and the headline band Single by Sunday had around an hour on stage. The show took place at the […]

PALISADES – PALISADES

On Friday 20th January, Palisades will be releasing their much anticipated self-titled album. Now, I couldn’t help but notice that “core” is used a lot in genres nowadays – hardcore, post-hardcore, crunkcore, metalcore, etc. One of Palisades genres is electronicore, which I must admit, isn’t a genre I was familiar with. However, taking a listen […]

Boris The Blade- Warpath

Boris The Blade are coming at us from down under this January with their new album, Warpath. The band, who take their name from an arms dealer, certainly haven’t lacked firepower with any of their previous efforts and Warpath comfortably keeps pace with their previous releases. This record isn’t one for the faint hearted, being […]

An Indie folk-rock band from Asheville, North Carolina known as Fortune And Glory have set the date of January 13th, 2017 for their EP Effigies to be released.

Beyond The Black – ‘Lost In Forever’

Beyond The Black are unarguably on the rise in popularity, and with that comes more music being put out. Their new album Lost In Forever is perfect for people who like symphonic metal female fronted bands. They are similar to bands such as Lucana Coil, Evanesence and Epica. Their new album has everything you could want […]

Under Fire – Blackout

Under Fire is a pop punk band from Derry, NH who have recently released an EP named “Blackout”. The first track is full of inspiring lyrics that can be relatable in many of lifes situations. When one listens to a song, it can be understood in many different ways. What sticks out to ones ears, […]

You Me At Six – Night People

A lot has been said in the build up to the release of the latest You Me At Six album Night People in terms of the band heading in a different direction. There have been mixed views and it’s been like marmite, fans have either loved it or hated it. The title track is the […]

Code Orange – Forever

Following acclaimed album ‘I Am King’, Code Orange are back with, ‘Forever’, and I’ve not heard anything like it. The album opens with the title track, which really is a slap in the face. It is immediately evident that this album is a metalcore album. The track is described by the band as a ‘fuck […]

Gravves – “Rattle”

I had the special opportunity to hear Gravves debut EP “Rattle” that is set to be released February 10th, 2017. Throughout the EP, trying to ‘rattle’ the listener is an understatement. The EP begins with a headbanging track and catchy lyrics, with a track named “My Pet Rihanna”. Don’t allow the first track to fool […]

Awakening Hyperia – Imbalance

Bristolian metallers Awakening Hyperia are set to take 2017 by storm. We first got a taste of what was to come with their awesome debut track Breathe in August 2016. The quartet’s eclectic backgrounds and music taste create a blend of metal that keeps you guessing as to what is coming next. Debut EP Imbalance […]

Dorje, Audio, Glasgow

Today’s gig was a last minute add for me as the gig I was going to see was cancelled. Not know anything about any of the bands but the opening band Eva Plays Dead. So walking into a sold out Audio I was there with an open mind. When Eva Plays Dead  started their set […]
