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...

Rating - 4.5/5 Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs (hereafter referred to as Pigsx7 simply for our mutual convenience) release Viscerals; their latest album that delivers a healthy dose of doom, punk, and metal in a dark, imposing package. The influence of doom metal progenitors Black Sabbath is abundant, peeking through the dense and... 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. Street Dog, the eponymous hero, goes off to find that Manchester’s music is being held in the Dirty Old... Continue Reading →
So you want to listen to Frank Zappa? Perhaps you're overwhelmed by the frankly staggering discography or the, let's be honest, inaccessible nature of some of the weirder stuff, or hey perhaps you've never even heard of the guy. This is all fine. I present for your consideration the album, fresh from the dissolution of... Continue Reading →
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...

Release Date - 10/4/20 Rating - 4/5 Doncaster and Bolsover boys, Children of the State release their latest single ‘Big Sur’, a mellow blend of surf rock and doo-wop delivered in a brit-pop package. It’s a landscape of clean, shimmering guitars, twangy walking bass, and soft melodies. The track was produced by Ian Skelly, drummer... Continue Reading →
Rating - 1/5 Primo and all-female Australian rock bring us their latest single “Machine” from the upcoming second album “Sogni”. It has an unusual approach with the band members harmonizing together to sing the lyrics. This gives the vocals a kind of monotonous droning whine which I guess fits with the machine vibe but it...

Rating - 4/5 1920’s big band jazz, 12 bar blues, Duke Ellington. A good base for a classic playlist. Throw in garage, grime and huge dance floor fillers, industrial synth and booming bass and you’ve potentially made a massive mess. Or have you? City of Sin, the sophomore album from Dutty Moonshine Big Band is... Continue Reading →
