Music Reviews

Banishing the panda costumes and burning renegade jerseys alike, 'Wake Up, Sunshine' sees All Time Low look back briefly to their adolescent selves living out their teenage dream, before welcoming a wholesome, newfound sense of belonging in the here and now. It’s this refreshed and rediscovered attitude that has added to the glistening, youthful glow of one of the band’s best record in recent years.

With the backing of Plasterer Records/Wonk Unit’s Alex Johnson, Aerial Salad have found a new sense of relentless purpose and their sophmore album, 'Dirt Mall', could be the making or breaking of their rise towards the DIY glass ceiling.

Almost four full years after their last release, 2016’s 'Brotherhood of the Snake', Bay Area thrash titans Testament return with their latest record: 'Titans of Creation'. With the recent announcement that singer Chuck Billy has been diagnosed with the COVID-19 virus, this brings a new sense of “urgency” and importance to this release. While all of us here at Bring The Noise UK wish him the best of health and a speedy recovery, here's what we think of the band's latest offering.

Cohesively bringing together two of the most juxtaposing emotions is a hard balance for any band to strike, but Circa Waves' burning ambition to musically represent two extremities of modern society sees them pour their sad and happy state of minds into their latest full-length, 'Sad Happy'.

'Bruise' is a manifesto of an artist defiantly refusing to be pigeonholed by genre, blending pop, rock, electronic elements - and everything in between - together to present something so wholly out of the box that it can only be authentically Lizzy Farrall.

Former members of the Devin Townsend Project, Threat Signal and more have joined forces as Imonolith to release their solid debut album, 'State of Being'.

Architectural Genocide are looking to take the brutal death metal scene by storm and with their debut full-length, 'Cordyceptic Anthropomorph', they are certainly off to a very promising start.   

Following the absolute monster that their previous record 'Forever' became, Grammy nomination and all, could prove to be a tall order for most, the weight of expectation crushing them like an ant underneath boot. Have Pittsburgh’s finest proven themselves up to the task?

After a slow trickle of singles Haggard Cat’s sophomore album is finally with us, but does it stand up as a full album or is it just a selection of great singles and some filler?

Packed full of hooks, singalongs and one of the best pop-punk tracks you’ll hear for a long time, Hot Mulligan's latest release 'you’ll be fine' is a great record and is absolutely perfect for the coming summer months.
