Released: 17th April 2020 Rating: 4/5 Every album Enter Shikari release sounds completely different to the previous one, and never sounds like any other artist either. This theme very much continues on album number six, the truly ridiculous Nothing Is True And Everything Is Possible. The album’s 45 minute running time contains almost every genre...

Moving forward with the times is important, but what if you could progress a genre yourself? That is the question Negative Measures have quite clearly asked themselves. With a self description of being "too punk for the hardcore kids and too hardcore for the punk kids" this band have not let anyones opinion but their... Continue Reading →
Rating - 3/5 ‘Family Fun’ is the latest single released by London based, multi-instrumentalist Mellah; an offbeat, indie-pop track that paints a warped caricature of the problems facing British politics and society. The accompanying video is a satirical take on campy 80s game show Family Fortunes, but instead of quizzing the great British public on... Continue Reading →
Rating - 4/5 There won’t be many albums that tell the story of a dog that goes in search of where all the music of Manchester has disappeared to. This is one. Presumably the only one.

Rating - 4/5 ‘The New Abnormal’ is the culmination of recording sessions stretching back to 2016 featuring production from heavyweight Rick Rubin. It’s a collection of stripped back, mature-sounding tracks that show The Strokes have mellowed significantly, but like a glass of fine wine has aged well; Rubin’s characteristic production complements the simplicity and tranquility...

The result is a familiar exploration of... Continue Reading →
Rating - 3.5/5 Bermuda make an impact on their latest effort, “Bristol Lane” and with it, the band has crafted a track with all the physics that displays a fine display of modern rock songwriting. Blended with an early 2000’s post-hardcore influence, ‘Bristol Lane” shows great potential in a band that should not go under... Continue Reading →
Released: 28th March 2020 Rating: 5/5 What more fitting band could there be to listen to in self-isolation than Scottish Highlanders Isolates? Forces follows on from their debut single, Frost, which was released in December, and is a monumental piece of work. Forces incorporates all the best features of Frost, including the vast, chilling atmosphere,... Continue Reading →
Rating - 4/5 Modern metal is something that has been branching out and forgetting limitations and labels by the week. “Amongst The Dead” does exactly that. Combining black metal, power metal, hardcore, and thrash for an exhilarating display of aggression. “Amongst The Dead”, if justice is served, will rise above the rest and be showcased...
