Rating - 3/5 29-year-old Seattle-based singer-songwriter Courtney Marie Andrews has been working hard under the radar for a long time. In 2010, she featured prominently on Jimmy Eat World’s album Inverted, as well as touring the album with them for the following year. Yet it took until 2018 before she found fame of her own...

Rating - 4/5 Inverness outfit Isolates have already proven they are capable of writing a brilliant song or two with debut single Frost, and followup, Forces. But Hollow, their debut album, shows this was no fluke, and they have plenty more to offer. Hollow consists of seven tracks, including Frost and Forces, and clearly takes... Continue Reading →
Hate is easy. Hate is brilliant. Have you tried it? You don’t have to think too hard about any of it! There are no facts to remember, you don’t have to have a big argument about it, it just is. I can tell as many people about it as I like and then I can... Continue Reading →
Rating - 3.5/5 “Gutter” attempts to combine the best of the best modern British rock movement with 80’s Punk inspired guitar work for good measure. Holding Out has produced an interesting and engaging experience with "Gutter". The opening sample adds some excellent speculation about what is to come. A Black Flag inspired distorted riff is...

Twenty-Five years ago the greatest death metal album was given to the world. Symbolic by Death is a journey. A formation of songs that encrypt the listener into an inviting climb of what thrash metal had buried within itself to become. Although Symbolic came towards the end of the Death Metal genres peak in the... Continue Reading →
Rating - 2/5 I’ll start by saying I am a fan of the 1975, and think their albums have been creative and of quality so far. Of course, this means new projects carry pressure and when seeing the, let’s say, ‘mixed’ feelings for the new album, I was ready for a departure from what’s gone... Continue Reading →
Rating - 3.5/5 Midlands five-piece, Red Negative release their single ‘Sweet Summer Girl’; an upbeat pop-rock effort that is at best extremely catchy and at worst derivative; but hey what pop-rock isn’t somewhat derivative at this point? The single arrives in advance of a longer, an unreleased project titled 'Two Metres Apart’; presumably a commentary... Continue Reading →

The... Continue Reading →
Rating - 4/5 Today’s single is a treatise on sociopolitical behavior from a man named Barry. Wait, don’t run off screaming just yet. Non Cannon aka Barry Dolan (he of Oxygen Thief) is bringing his follow up album after a four-year break. Imaginatively titled Non Cannon II and released on May 15th, the album covers...

Rating - 4/5 Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/EstateUK/ Atmospheric sounds and jangly reverb abound in Estate’s latest release ‘Losing Myself’; it’s another strong effort from the Telford four-piece who added another string to their bow with this single being named as BBC Shropshire’s Track of the Week. The hazy soundscape lends itself nicely to the lyricism which... Continue Reading →
