“White Bat”s full-throttle approach, along with the occasional breather, makes it a career highlight for He Is Legend.”
“Baffling and brilliant, ‘Shuffle’ shows just how wildly creative Jamie Lenman can be”
“Bad Breeding have created an unflinchingly ugly portrait of modern Britain”
“‘So Divine’ culminates in a listen that rarely feels satisfying”
This month’s UTR roundup includes new releases from Russian Girlfriends, Swimming Girls, Lake Acacia, The Hard Word, Born Free, A Traitor’s Last Breath and BLKLST.
“Confident and sure of itself, ‘Deaf Perception’ manages to be delicate without ever feeling fragile”
“It’s clear Woes are conscious of how they want to shape their music going forward. It’s just not fully realised within these 10 songs.”
“fun and frantic but not particularly going anywhere”
“All Get Out once again pull out all the stops”
“‘Cosmic Thrill Seekers’ is an expansive albeit slightly confusing task yet admirable.”
“‘Love Is Dead And We Killed Her’ is anthemic and feisty with a side order of riffs”
“This is definitely a step in the right direction overall; it’s tighter and more focused”
“‘Petals For Change’ is concise, short, and assuredly delivered”
“‘Void Calls’ is a real treat for shoegaze and grunge fans alike”
“Undeniably bouncy, energetic, and fun… yet GYHS’s formulaic approach to modern pop-punk is arguably overdone”
“Challenging and noisy as hell ‘Caprice Enchanté’ is a brilliant street-fight of sleaze and cynicism”
From fitting farewells to outstanding headline slots to noteworthy sets from emerging and reliable names, 2019 proved to be another successful year for the Download Festival.
Here’s our full review #DL2019.
“All Better make it look so easy with enormous, pop-driven melodies… this is a band ready for prime time”
“The Dangerous Summer have returned to their best… a fine piece of work”
“When Remo Drive let their creativity shine, it can be rewarding”
“a highly competent debut album… Quiet Lions demonstrate quality songwriting and the sound of a band with a strong identity”
“Everything here is sure and solid, while never losing its sense of purpose”
“‘I / II’ portrays MØL’s rise as much more than a case of meteoric hype”
“‘The Disconnect’ is a solid, confident expression of their sound”
As part of their brief visit to the UK, Angel Du$t were in a partying mood in London.
