Review: Torchbearer – Against The Tide EP
“Torchbearer have the riffs and a solid sound, but they are sorely lacking a spark”

“Torchbearer have the riffs and a solid sound, but they are sorely lacking a spark”

“entertaining songs that make you want to dance and sing and have a good time”

“Strong and confident, ‘You Can Miss Something & Not Want It Back’ is crammed with lovingly crafted songs”

“Drown This City’s flashes of promise are suppressed by a dominant, wearisome formula”

Converge made a brief return to the UK earlier this month and bought Terror and SECT along for a stellar night of hardcore.
AH’s Tim Birkbeck witnessed the trio of bands in London.

“What should be Strange Bones’ evolution to new places comes across like a messy lack of foresight”

“‘Vulture Culture’ is the sound of Fangclub fighting their demons and spreading their wings”

“‘Playground For Sad Adults’ squeezes more dark magic out of Phoxjaw’s sound”

“White Bat”s full-throttle approach, along with the occasional breather, makes it a career highlight for He Is Legend.”
