ALTERNATIVE MUSIC REVIEWS

BEWARE OF DARKNESS – ARE YOU REAL?

I'd say that if you're a fan of Motley Crue, then you might enjoy this album too. I'd certainly recommend it if you're a fan of Saints of Los Angeles. Are You Real? is badass, cool and a great listen overall. Plus, you may just want to be in Los Angeles when you hear this.

Kamikaze Girls – Sad

The duo, Lucinda Livingstone, on Vocals and Guitar, and Conor Dawson on Drums, use their music to break taboos and change attitudes towards mental health, spreading the message ‘’It’s okay to be sad’’. Along with this they aim to break the gender stereo types in music for good.

A Day To Remember – Bad Vibrations

Overall this album is pretty fantastic and the band outdid themselves on this record. After listening to this you can hear the blood , sweat and tears and all the time and determination, the boys in A Day To Remember put into this album and in my opinion it is one of their best albums they have released yet and a great comeback for ADTR.

Sleeping with Sirens, State Champs @ Union Chapel, Islington

Union Chapel in Islington is the venue for tonight. A church seems a very odd place to head to for a Sleeping with Sirens and State Champs show. It is a rare opportunity for fans of the bands to see their idols perform their hits acoustically and it was one they snapped up with tickets selling out within an hour as frontman Kellin Quinn mentions during the set. As I arrive at the venue, there is a massive queue and it’s obvious people have camped out overnight. There is a touching moment as the headline band emerge from the neo-gothic church with pizza boxes they give to the queue.

The Truth – The Erik Chandler Band | Album Review

Possibly one of the most under appreciated men in pop-punk history, Erik Chandler is more commonly known as the bassist for the legendary Bowling For Soup (and if you don't know who they are, then why are you even here. Go away and educate yourself right now!). Will this solo outing follow in his bands footsteps, delivering more of what we've come to love from the Texas Quartet? Will this be a dramatic change in pace for Mr. Chandler, allowing him to create a thirteen piece Jazz odyssey?

Truck Festival 2016 – Steventon, Oxfordshire

My Truck experience started later than advertised due to having to work! After speeding down the A34 (Disclaimer: speeding added for excitement purposes only) I finally arrived and had an agonizing wait in the queue to get my press pass being able to hear Lonely the Brave knowing I was missing them, so my introduction to Truck this year was me wanting to do an angry old person shaking finger pointing at whoever was at the front of the queue holding me up...

Breathe In The Silence – Hold My Heart.

Breathe In The Silence are to set to release their new second EP titled “Hold My Heart” on the 2nd of September via Crooked Noise. Breathe In The Silence are a post hardcore band from the mountains of South Wales. They also class their genre as “Valleycore”.

Chasing Cadence – Destroy Something Beautiful EP review

Chasing Cadence, a four-piece alt-rock band from Hertfordshire, are releasing their new EP, ‘Destroy Something Beautiful’, on September 16th, and it’s definitely one of the best EP’s I’ve heard.

Vans Warped Tour @ Pomona, California 7th August 2016

I had the wonderful opportunity to experience Warped Tour for the first time ever. Being new to this event, I had no idea what to expect other than the inevitable of receiving the most horrible sun tan. As the gates opened lovers of music flooded the grounds and made their way to the stages, tents, and vendors...

COVER YOUR TRACKS – FEVER DREAM

Atlanta rock band Cover Your Tracks, will be releasing their newest album Fever Dream next month... I decided to give it a listen and see what Fever Dream is all about.

Columbus – Spring Forever

Brisbane trio Columbus release debut album Spring Forever through UNFD on August 26. The record is the follow up to 2015’s EP Home Remedy which saw the band break out into the limelight. The power-punk trio came together in school and were completed via a school jazz band (no, really) and we all need to thank that school band for gifting us a very talented trio!
