Music Reviews

Linkin Park have captured the essence of what drew so many of us to the band in the first place with their classic songs, add something new to it in the form of Emily Armstrong’s voice, and release it to the masses, thus successfully starting 'over', From Zero.

Hello Mary are yet another example of a band pushing the boundaries of music, helping to create a very healthy future for the alternative/shoegaze/indie styles. Here's what we thought of their new album 'Emita Ox'...

State Champs are a band that embody all the addictive qualities of modern-day pop punk: catchy-as-hell choruses, energetic guitar melodies and relatable lyrics on the joys and tribulations of growing up. Their self-titled, fifth album is no exception.

Infused with haunting melodies, stomach-dropping breakdowns and dizzying electronic sounds, Make Them Suffer’s self-titled album is an impressive record that takes the listener beyond a mere audio experience; prepare to be auditorily knocked about, where bursts of adrenaline are interspersed with small oases of calm.

Against The Current vocalist Chrissy Costanza recently released her first solo effort in 'VII', a seven track EP filled with cinematic rock and pop that pushes her music in a new direction.

London Grammar are back with their fourth studio album 'The Greatest Love', out now via Ministry Of Sound. Here we find ten tracks filled with haunting vocals from Hannah Reid, backed up with some jaw dropping guitar work from Dan Rothman and of course not forgetting the multi-instrumentalist Dot Major - there is no stopping this trio who always come up with fresh new music.

After two years of silence, Manchester-based cyberpunk outfit Overrider release their album, 'Sparse Vector'.

'Friend of a Phantom', the fourth album by VOLA, showcases a mature blend of heavy riffs and atmospheric synths. Themes of change and introspection are explored through reflective lyrics and layered soundscapes, capturing human vulnerability. Each track contributes to a cohesive, thought-provoking journey and solidifies VOLA's place in progressive metal. 

Indie-rock greats Razorlight return with their latest album, 'Planet Nowhere', filled with the energy and charisma that first made them a staple of British indie rock.

Amyl and the Sniffers have just released their third studio album 'Cartoon Darkness' via Rough Trade Records, and we think it's their best yet - who says punk is dead?
