I’ve been writing for Bring the Noise for almost a year, prior to this I used to be a games tester for Microsoft but these days you’ll find me writing reviews for all sorts of films and for the occasional rock album and gig. Bring the Noise have been awesome to me & have given me a chance to write & reach an audience & hopefully if I don’t screw up you’ll see lots more of my stuff in the coming months and years

ALBUM REVIEW: Shadows Like Strangers – Cali

With airtime on BBC Nottingham, supporting the likes of Lacey and releasing a debut album, it’s safe to say that Shadows Like Strangers have had a cracking 2018/19. We’ve had a chance to take a listen to 'Cali' - does it have those feel good Californian vibes? We think it has that, and more!

ALBUM REVIEW: Halestorm – Vicious

After a three year wait Halestorm are back with their fourth studio album Vicious. Sure, they released a covers album in the form of their Reanimate 3.0 in 2017, but nothing compares to a new release with fresh material - and once again, the quartet do not disappoint!

EP REVIEW: Eva Plays Dead – The Fix

Nottingham based rockers Eva Plays Dead have just released their EP The Fix and it’s definitely a fix of something! Plugging away in the independent scene is never easy, but this EP is something of a resurgence for a band who’ve played with the likes of Alien Ant Farm, Skindred and Devilskin, amongst others.

Album Review: Noija – Colorblind

Almost every band can attest to how important a debut album can be. It can make or break them – especially with new, and often fickle fans. But given by what we’ve seen and heard of the debut album by Swedish alt-rock band Noija, finding new fans and listeners shouldn’t be a problem.

ALBUM REVIEW: Rise Against – Wolves

Wolves is exactly what a good Rise Against album should be, there’s meaning behind a lot of the tracks and they’re catchy enough that you’ll start singing along after a few listens.

ALBUM REVIEW: Galactic Empire – Galactic Empire

One of the things that defines a Star Wars film is of course the soundtrack. Many would consider it sacrilege to even consider playing the tracks in any other way than George Lucas and John Williams would have intended, but that’s exactly what Galactic Empire have done with their debut, self-titled album.
