“’Fake Blood’ really does hit with the sort of force that could see Heart Attack Man picking up huge amounts of traction”
“‘Rock Bottom’ solidifies Scream Blue Murder’s sound and is a remarkably assured beast.”
American War Machine revel in their collective strength, offering uncompromising hardcore punk, which is exactly what you get.
Subtle changes in the synths as the chorus is introduced hint at what’s to come over the next ten tracks… it’s clear that Polar are going somewhere.
Toronto’s PUP are back with their third LP, which as the title suggests, sees frontman Stefan Babcock and the gang deal with dark life experiences by being able to laugh at yourself and get through them with a sense of community
Periphery manage to push their sound forward, building on their strengths in both engaging and exciting fashion.
“‘Two Sides’ is a shining snapshot of Laurie Cottingham’s effective and underrated songwriting”
“‘Love Keeps Kicking’ pulls delicately at the heartstrings while having an enormous amount of fun”
“‘RKTKN#3’ pulls the listener into a nightmarish world, twisting and tumbling with chaotic riffs mixed with chilling tones”
“By combining their pop sensibilities with stylistic exploration, Simple Creatures have produced a commendable first outing.”
“‘You Are Ok’ offers a solid balance between light-hearted and mature, radio-friendly and thought-provoking cuts, that nicely suits where The Maine are in 2019”
“‘Trauma’ is the sound of a band stumbling around trying to find an identity”
“Lotus Eater have brought an uncompromising incursion of misery, filth and obscurity upon us”
“bright, distinct and honest… LAGS have enough clout to bring them to a wider audience”
“‘The Valley’ is surefooted and surprisingly satisfying… taking Whitechapel into new territory”
“A captivating narrative which reveals itself with each listen… Free Throw sound content with where they’re at on ‘What’s Past Is Prologue'”
“a thrilling, heart-pounding journey that you can’t get enough of”
“’Negatives’ feels like an EP spinning its wheels without a definitive game plan”
“Bringing emotion and philosophy into play with some brilliant lyrics, there’s a lot to love about The Alchemy’s debut LP”
“’Live In London’ serves as more of an expansion than a substitute… it shows a band moving forward with confidence and ambition”
“‘Waiting To Burn’ has a lot of promise, although not entirely inventively executed”
“La Dispute have found a new way to present themselves… ‘Panorama’ is their sound in its purest form”
“For a debut EP, Follower more than show their potential… a strong first outing but with room to grow.”
“Crows have crafted an ardent arrangement of songs… sonically airtight with fervent energy”
