Reviews

Touring in support of their latest album 'I, The Mask', Swedish metallers In Flames graced UK soil for a run a headline shows, bringing Norma Jean and Light The Torch along for the ride. We ventured down to the Glasgow show for a night of riffs and mosh pits.

Introducing anthemic band The Alchemy, a new rock outfit from Canterbury, UK, who have recently released their debut album 'Chemical Daydream', a blend of rock, indie and electronic music. Do the band impress with their debut full-length? Read on to hear our thoughts!

Deathcore brutalists Enterprise Earth grace us with a third album 'Luciferous', full of apocalyptic anthems.

If there was ever a question on the health of post-punk, Whispering Sons are probably the answer despite being far more than just another post-punk band. Paint your nails black and sink into this Belgian darkness.

B-Town threesome JAWS return with their third full length album 'The Ceiling'. The band explore a new twist on their original dream-pop sound as they explore the rush of growing up and the pressure and confusion that comes with it.

Busted are back and are taking their new album 'Half Way There' out on tour across the UK. With support from Brigade and The Xcerts at the Southampton date, we went down to see if the kings of pop could regain their crown.

There’s something happening with Holding Absence. Something that isn't necessarily big, but something that’s genuine and authentic. In years to come, people will be trying to tell you they were at this run of shows. They probably weren’t, but everyone who caught Holding Absence on this tour knows they saw the start of something really, really special. Long may it last.

From Sorrow to Serenity make their anticipated return with new album 'Reclaim'. Their first full-length with new vocalist Gaz King, 'Reclaim' sees the band build on the very accomplished 'Remnant of Humanity' with an album that should please metalcore fans and push them to the next level.

Pop-punk powerhouses Alex Gaskarth and Mark Hoppus' launched their supergroup Simple Creatures earlier this year, showing made-in-America trash-pop bops on six-track EP Strange Love. Striving for strangeness, the All Time Low x Blink-182 duo's debut moves away from the original bands' moulds and modifies music that masterminds contorted rhythms, distorted synths, exuberant harmonisation and punchy hooks, under an electro/pop/rock euphoria.

With 'The Valley', Whitechapel have built upon their delving into melodic territories in 'Mark of the Blade', and refined it to bring a more natural, determined sound. An emotional, self-exploratory record which is their most ambitious yet, and amongst their strongest.
