Reviews
‘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: Mull Historical Society – City Awakenings
Colin MacIntyre returns under the Mull Historical Society moniker for the first time in 8 years to offer up a more metropolitan indie sound.
ALBUM: Nada Surf – The Stars are Indifferent to Astronomy
Nada Surf return with their 7th studio album. Providing that growing older is no barrier to churning out delightful power pop.
You know when you stumble upon a new band by complete accident and they turn out to be surprisingly great? Well that’s exactly what happened to us with latest talented newcomers Arms Aloft.
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.
ALBUM:Blessed By A Broken Heart, Feel The Power
First things first: ‘Feel The Power’ is hilariously brilliant. This is the Canadian five-piece’s third album and the song titles alone are incredible: ‘Shut Up And Rock!’, ‘Skate or DIE’ etc.
EP: We Die Tonight – Stem The Tide EP
London’s very own We Die tonight are back with ‘Stem The Tide’, their first EP since 2009s ‘Fall From Grace’. The melodic metalcorers have managed to deliver four tracks filled with brutal soaring guitars, heavy drums and blasting vocals.
If A Skylit Drive married The Word Alive, and set up home together then the resulting child would be Erra.
ALBUM: Enter Shikari, A Flash Flood of Colour
‘A Flash Flood of Colour’ is the St Albans four-piece’s third album and it is most definitely a grower. The fact that they are number one in the UK midweek charts is absolutely staggering, and they’ve done it through sheer hard work.
