“If you haven’t been introduced to Lake Malice before, then ‘Post-Genesis’ is the ideal jumping on point.”
“Tirade have produced some infections alt-rock that shows a tonne of potential”
“a diverse snapshot that is sure to excite fans of their future”
“The EP is successful in what it sets out to do, introducing the many faces of Havelocke”
“Muskets’ experiments on this EP yield generally strong results… there’s more potential to be built on here”
“‘True Motion’ has enough bark and bruising riffing to demand your attention”
“Brutalligators aren’t just here to make up the numbers… a collected release that turns contemporary indie-punk on its head”
“Kid Kapichi have the potential to be your new rock n’ roll heroes”
“Torchbearer have the riffs and a solid sound, but they are sorely lacking a spark”
“Drown This City’s flashes of promise are suppressed by a dominant, wearisome formula”
“What should be Strange Bones’ evolution to new places comes across like a messy lack of foresight”
“‘Playground For Sad Adults’ squeezes more dark magic out of Phoxjaw’s sound”
“All Get Out once again pull out all the stops”
“Undeniably bouncy, energetic, and fun… yet GYHS’s formulaic approach to modern pop-punk is arguably overdone”
“All Better make it look so easy with enormous, pop-driven melodies… this is a band ready for prime time”
“Everything here is sure and solid, while never losing its sense of purpose”
“‘Cash In Hands’ musicianship may be minimalist and raw, but it’s rich in storytelling”
“Pleiades have created an EP which is frequently thrilling, powerful and interlaced with beauty”
“With some of the genre’s big-hitters stepping up to the microphone, ‘The Deathbed Sessions’ makes for a brutal metal mixtape”
“A short but sweet taste of what is to come for this Glaswegian powerhouse”
“Intricate, yet often volatile, ‘Moonflower’ is a more than worthy EP from landless.
Inklings AKA Kier Kemp sounds like he is creating something organic and self-driven nonetheless”
“If you’re into garage rock and punk, you’ll probably dig this EP”
“a confident statement and an affecting piece of work… Black Surf are really onto something with ‘Make Friends'”
“’Corruption Of The Human Heart’ is a consistently interesting and thought-provoking listen”
“Not Enough no doubt have the potential to progress, but the EP has little structure with tracks being dragged down”
“Gloo have proved themselves more than capable of writing some punk-inspired bangers”
“Brace yourself! Death Blooms go harder on ‘You Are Filth'”
“Falling into the bracket of art-rock is one thing, but lacking a clear identity is another”
