29th August 2019
“Tirade have produced some infections alt-rock that shows a tonne of potential”
“Tirade have produced some infections alt-rock that shows a tonne of potential”
“a diverse snapshot that is sure to excite fans of their future”
“‘True Motion’ has enough bark and bruising riffing to demand your attention”
“Kid Kapichi have the potential to be your new rock n’ roll heroes”
“Drown This City’s flashes of promise are suppressed by a dominant, wearisome formula”
“‘Playground For Sad Adults’ squeezes more dark magic out of Phoxjaw’s sound”
“All Get Out once again pull out all the stops”
“Undeniably bouncy, energetic, and fun… yet GYHS’s formulaic approach to modern pop-punk is arguably overdone”
“All Better make it look so easy with enormous, pop-driven melodies… this is a band ready for prime time”
“Everything here is sure and solid, while never losing its sense of purpose”
“Pleiades have created an EP which is frequently thrilling, powerful and interlaced with beauty”
“With some of the genre’s big-hitters stepping up to the microphone, ‘The Deathbed Sessions’ makes for a brutal metal mixtape”
“A short but sweet taste of what is to come for this Glaswegian powerhouse”
“Intricate, yet often volatile, ‘Moonflower’ is a more than worthy EP from landless.
Inklings AKA Kier Kemp sounds like he is creating something organic and self-driven nonetheless”
“a confident statement and an affecting piece of work… Black Surf are really onto something with ‘Make Friends'”
“Not Enough no doubt have the potential to progress, but the EP has little structure with tracks being dragged down”
“Gloo have proved themselves more than capable of writing some punk-inspired bangers”
“Brace yourself! Death Blooms go harder on ‘You Are Filth'”
“Falling into the bracket of art-rock is one thing, but lacking a clear identity is another”
“These six tracks are delivered with care, precision and promise… Lonesome deliver a confident and encouraging debut”
“There’s more to Best of Enemies than one might assume on first listen… four tracks of perfectly palatable pop-rock”
“It’s not a case of style over substance for Alpha Wolf on ‘Fault'”
“You can’t fault the sonic force and irresistible delivery that Blood Command show on ‘Return Of The Arsonist'”
“Clay Lake make a statement on ‘The Manly Toughness Trophy’… ambitious and very enjoyable”
“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.”
