Review: The Bottom Line – No Vacation
“fun and frantic but not particularly going anywhere”
Adam England 26th June 2019
“fun and frantic but not particularly going anywhere”
“‘Cosmic Thrill Seekers’ is an expansive albeit slightly confusing task yet admirable.”
“‘Love Is Dead And We Killed Her’ is anthemic and feisty with a side order of riffs”
“This is definitely a step in the right direction overall; it’s tighter and more focused”
“‘Petals For Change’ is concise, short, and assuredly delivered”
“‘Void Calls’ is a real treat for shoegaze and grunge fans alike”
“Challenging and noisy as hell ‘Caprice Enchanté’ is a brilliant street-fight of sleaze and cynicism”
“All Better make it look so easy with enormous, pop-driven melodies… this is a band ready for prime time”
“The Dangerous Summer have returned to their best… a fine piece of work”
“When Remo Drive let their creativity shine, it can be rewarding”
“a highly competent debut album… Quiet Lions demonstrate quality songwriting and the sound of a band with a strong identity”
“Everything here is sure and solid, while never losing its sense of purpose”
“‘I / II’ portrays MØL’s rise as much more than a case of meteoric hype”
“‘The Disconnect’ is a solid, confident expression of their sound”
“‘Celebrity Mansions’ will undoubtedly polarise their long term listeners and confuse newcomers”
“CHON confidently step back into their comfort zone… rich and rewarding”
“There’s a lot to enjoy on ‘Disguise’, especially if you’re already on board with their goth-tinted brand”
“Plague Vendor can chop and change between nihilistic noise-punk and more luminous alt-rock… it’s what makes ‘By Night’ so appealing”
“Liberally sprinkled with Cave In magic, ‘Final Transmission’ is subtly adventurous”
“Frank Iero continues to keep us guessing… an adventurous, joyous, gritty and rewarding record”
Death Angel are once again staking their claim as the finest thrash band of the moment
“‘Scream Through The Walls’ is a challenging melting pot of ideas”
“Eat Dirt have more in common with your local punk acts that tear down tiny venues than they do mainstream punk”
