ALBUM REVIEW: The Ghost Inside – Get What You Give
‘Get What You Give’ is The Ghost Inside’s third album and it is nothing less than absolutely stellar.
ALBUM REVIEW: Delain – We Are The Others
‘We Are The Others’ is Dutch symphonic metal outfit Delain’s third album and they’ve come back strong., and their third record has a slightly darker, more epic sound than their previous two albums.
LIVE: Sharks, Clwb Ifor Bach, 1/4/12
Tonight Cardiff is host to three of the most talked about bands in the UK at the moment – Sharks, Crossbreaker and Crowns -and although the turnout is slightly disappointing, the standard of the bands is stupidly high.
Lais MW went down to the Cardiff leg of Sharks’ UK tour to talk live shows, The Wire and Wikipedia rumours…
ALBUM: Cancer Bats – Dead Set On Living
This is Cancer Bats’ fourth album, and dear lord, it is good. Not just good, but great. And not just great, but incredible. we could go on (We won’t). But seriously, it is a noisy aural delight from start to finish.
EP: Fourth Quarter Comeback – Finders Keepers
This is the debut EP from Fourth Quarter Comeback, a pop-punk four-piece from Fairfax, Virginia. They look and sound pretty young, and they have clearly been inspired by Blink 182 and All Time Low. It’s a catchy little five-track EP, and it’s definitely fun to listen to.
LIVE: The Devil Wears Prada, Cardiff Great Hall 2, 02/02/12
This is the first date of The Devil Wears Prada’s UK headline tour, and they are on a mission to destroy. The night kicks off with Plymouth metallers Brotherhood of the Lake and London metalcore five piece Last Witness. Both bands get the crowd warmed up a treat in time for spectacular headliners The Devil Wears Prada.
‘Bones’ is the second full-length from High Wycome wonders Young Guns, and bloody hell, they’ve done well. They’ve always boasted a ridiculous amount of potential, looking completely at home in gigantic venues, so it was always fairly obvious they were going to be brilliant.
ALBUM: Anthony Green – Beautiful Things
This is Anthony Green’s second solo album. Known primarily for being the ex-frontman of Saosin and current frontman of Circa Survive, he has branched out on his own, and sadly the result is not the aural delight you would hope.
ALBUM: Attack Attack!, This Means War
Attack Attack! (as in the American metalcore band, not their gentler Welsh namesakes) have outdone themselves on ‘This Means War’, their third record. Ditching the ‘crabcore’ image some people are familiar with, they’re definitely going in a more serious direction. And they’re doing it well.
