ALBUM REVIEW: Dead Poet Society – FISSION

Dead Poet Society’s new album 'FISSION' will keep the January blues away. With hues of blues, jazz, indie, rock and pop, the band evolves their sound on their latest release.

ALBUM REVIEW: Green Day – Saviors

As one of the biggest bands in the world, Green Day need no introduction. The Grammy-winning trio are back with their political-fuelled album 'Saviors'; how fitting for the 2024 presidential election cycle. With a wide range of influences such as The Clash, The Ramones and even The Beach Boys, 'Saviors' is an ironic and fun album. With the line-up of Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tre Cool, listening to this album is like greeting an old friend.

ALBUM REVIEW: Tijuana Bibles – Free Milk

For a band that has made their mark at UK and international festivals such as Reading & Leeds, Isle Of Wight and SXSW, Tijuana Bibles are only just dropping their debut album, 'Free Milk'. Comprised of Tony Costello (vocals), Danny Costello (bass), James Brannigan (guitar) and Mikey Dornan (drums), this Scottish quartet gives the UK rock scene a run for its money. Blending indie with punk, Tijuana Bibles' album addresses feelings of frustration, isolation and anxiety as the world changes dramatically.

EP REVIEW: Boy Destroy – Pink Cloud

Although Sweden is a powerhouse pop-churning nation, an up-and-coming Swedish alt-pop star must be on everybody’s radar. Boy Destroy has already received a lot of praise from across the press - and the hype is well deserved.

ALBUM REVIEW: Taking Meds – Dial M for Meds

'Dial M for Meds' is an album that analyses what it is like to be an outsider. Full of personal tropes, the band do not shy away from owning their experiences, illustrating personal success in overcoming addiction and being an outcast. With sick riffs, dirty basslines and drum grooves that rivals 90s rock and grunge bands, there is so much going for this band; Taking Meds are a band to keep an eye on. They are bringing back the 90s and making it stylish.

ALBUM REVIEW: Honey Revenge – Retrovision

Although the pandemic was a tough time for many artists, there would be no Honey Revenge without it. Vocalist Devin Papadol and guitarist Donovan Lloyd connected over Instagram, and the rest is history. They have been making a splash across the US and are releasing their debut album, 'Retrovision', via Thriller Records. Summing the album up, Papadol describes it as one “of duality” - and it is an accurate observation.
