“Merrick’s Tusk should be proud of delivering a noteworthy debut”
“Not Enough no doubt have the potential to progress, but the EP has little structure with tracks being dragged down”

“
Dead Bars has your back… ‘Regulars’ is a classic party rock album”
“’Failed Entertainment’ is a remarkably robust and satisfying listen”
“Where ‘End of Suffering’ lacks in stylistic progression, is made up by its insightful lyricism”
“Gloo have proved themselves more than capable of writing some punk-inspired bangers”
“Brace yourself! Death Blooms go harder on ‘You Are Filth'”

“Seaway quench fans between-albums thirst with ‘Fresh Produce'”
“‘Ruby’ is such a lovely record… it’s certainly one not to ignore.”
“It’s not a case of style over substance for Alpha Wolf on ‘Fault'”
“As much as ‘Wolf God’ is an album full of anthems, it has the problem of sounding slightly repetitive”
“You can’t fault the sonic force and irresistible delivery that Blood Command show on ‘Return Of The Arsonist'”
“Clay Lake make a statement on ‘The Manly Toughness Trophy’… ambitious and very enjoyable”
