Review: Prince Daddy & The Hyena – Cosmic Thrill Seekers
“‘Cosmic Thrill Seekers’ is an expansive albeit slightly confusing task yet admirable.”
25th June 2019
“‘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.
With a bigger site, we went to check out how the new and improved Slam Dunk Festival North went down.
“‘Cash In Hands’ musicianship may be minimalist and raw, but it’s rich in storytelling”
“‘Celebrity Mansions’ will undoubtedly polarise their long term listeners and confuse newcomers”
“CHON confidently step back into their comfort zone… rich and rewarding”
“There’s a lot to enjoy on ‘Disguise’, especially if you’re already on board with their goth-tinted brand”
“Plague Vendor can chop and change between nihilistic noise-punk and more luminous alt-rock… it’s what makes ‘By Night’ so appealing”
“Liberally sprinkled with Cave In magic, ‘Final Transmission’ is subtly adventurous”
