“By combining their pop sensibilities with stylistic exploration, Simple Creatures have produced a commendable first outing.”
“Lotus Eater have brought an uncompromising incursion of misery, filth and obscurity upon us”
“’Negatives’ feels like an EP spinning its wheels without a definitive game plan”
“‘Wildheart Dreaming’ is an appreciative finale to the ‘HOTYH’ chapter of The Xcerts, albeit one that isn’t entirely necessary.”
“‘Ensom’ sees Parting Gift establish their sound while still pushing forward.”
“‘Champion Of The World’ is much more than an experiment… hopefully Former Wrestlers isn’t just a one-time project”
“‘Ill Minds Vol. 2’ sees Black Coast reveal their ambitious side, determined to continually outdo themselves.”
“For anyone with a passing interested in emo-rock will find a lot to admire about Our Nameless Boy”
“‘-‘ sees Jetty Bones come into their own. Kelc Galluzzo mixes and matches music genres to create something exciting and fresh”
“‘For What It’s Worth’ provides a flavour of what Northshore will be capable of in future.”
“The Sunday Sadness may be looking back, but they’re pushing forward with this ambitious and eclectic collection of songs.”
