“For anyone with a passing interested in emo-rock will find a lot to admire about Our Nameless Boy”
As they prepare to make their Donington debut this summer, Southern California rockers Badflower picked out five songs they can’t wait to hear at Download Festival 2019.
“The ‘Black Album’ turns out to be a massive disappointment with horrific results”
“Although it’s not the breakout debut we had hoped for, ‘Don’t Let Go’ is a solid first outing”
Although the Newcastle collective serve up six concise slabs of blackened hardcore, you can’t help but feel Starve To Survive will get lost in the shuffle.
Emarosa’s digestible foray into pop territory has enabled them to flourish… ‘Peach Club’ doesn’t deserve to be this fun but it just is.
“This Is Not The End’ has allowed Spielbergs to live out their long desired rock n’ roll dreams with grounded awareness.”
“‘Midnight’ is unashamedly pop to the point you have to question how or why Set It Off were ever considered a rock band?”
“For a debut record, ‘The Language Of Injury’ has firmly cemented Ithaca’s position as a forward-thinking, diverse hardcore band.”
“Bring Me The Horizon have increasingly shown a willingness to embrace their pop sensibilities and ‘amo’ sees them go all out… It’s sure to polarise fans but BMTH wouldn’t want it any other way.”
“Papa Roach appear to be at a crossroads with ‘Who Do You Trust?’ with jarring results.”
