29th March 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”
“‘Wildheart Dreaming’ is an appreciative finale to the ‘HOTYH’ chapter of The Xcerts, albeit one that isn’t entirely necessary.”
“‘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”
“American Football continue to create a beautiful spine of work.”
“Sleep In. somewhat fail to live up to expectation on ‘The Stars on Your Ceiling'”
“‘Mystic Truth’ is such a tight, consistent record that it could prove to be Bad Suns’ undoing”
“Despite improved songwriting and a wealth of great ideas, ‘Breathe In Colours’ falls short of the mark”
‘Pretty Buff’ has a tendency to win you over… unexpected but highly enjoyable outing”
“The Bouncing Souls continue to push the envelope of making inspirational, generation-spanning punk rock”
“‘Ensom’ sees Parting Gift establish their sound while still pushing forward.”
“Any Given Day fall neatly in line with the infinite throng of other metalcore chancers”
“While Buckcherry are clearly masters of their craft, ‘Warpaint’ is a predictable a slice of bland middle-of-the-road, rock n’ roll tosh”
“Venom Prison have outdone themselves with ‘Samsara’ with results bordering on legendary”
“‘Champion Of The World’ is much more than an experiment… hopefully Former Wrestlers isn’t just a one-time project”
