“‘Hunter’s Moon’ feels it only appeals to existing fans almost exclusively.”
“‘Remains’ paints a vivid picture of the despair of those losing everything by combining driving riffs with vocals that spit with fury.”
“‘STARVE’ takes the foundations of Blood Youth’s sound and shakes it until it comes toppling down, and the pile of destruction that remains is the sheer brutality we hear now.”
“What ‘Distance Over Time’ lacks in excess it makes up for in focus and power”
“‘-‘ sees Jetty Bones come into their own. Kelc Galluzzo mixes and matches music genres to create something exciting and fresh”
“Although it’s not the breakout debut we had hoped for, ‘Don’t Let Go’ is a solid first outing”
“Ghost Iris surrender their depth in favour of a powerful, appealing sound”
“Minors’ brand of uncompromising hardcore demolishes the senses… This is a hardcore album done right”
“Burnt Tapes’ are doing a pretty great job at emotionally-driven alt-punk that can’t be ignored”
Although the Newcastle collective serve up six concise slabs of blackened hardcore, you can’t help but feel Starve To Survive will get lost in the shuffle.

‘Helix’ has the potential to succeed but ultimately, it’s disappointing.
“The Sunday Sadness may be looking back, but they’re pushing forward with this ambitious and eclectic collection of songs.”
“‘Ascend to Clarity’ is a surefooted EP from Bury The Traitor, showing plenty of promise.”
“‘Angry Youth’ is lacking in a statement sound, leading to an album that gives no clear idea of who Slenders really are.”
Emarosa’s digestible foray into pop territory has enabled them to flourish… ‘Peach Club’ doesn’t deserve to be this fun but it just is.
“Mantra provide a confident and brash opening gambit with debut album ‘Dreamland’”
“This Is Not The End’ has allowed Spielbergs to live out their long desired rock n’ roll dreams with grounded awareness.”
“It’s no doubt that Dead Fall wear their influences on their sleeves as ‘Never Expected’ is a punchy collection of guitar-driven pop-punk. “
“’Daily Ritual’ could see things finally kick off in a big way for Blowfuse”
Once again, the Persistence Tour offered a stacked bill of hardcore, metal, punk and thrash.
AH’s Tim Birkbeck headed to the standalone UK date in London.
“‘Midnight’ is unashamedly pop to the point you have to question how or why Set It Off were ever considered a rock band?”
