Two years after 'Nocturnal', Mothica returns with her most ambitious - and vulnerable - release yet: the cinematic 'Kissing Death'.
A mixtape entrenched with passion, emotion and furious energy throughout, and a thoroughly engaging and entertaining listen from a band taking their first tentative steps in the scene.
We were lucky enough to see Black Smoke Trigger play their first ever UK shows, supporting Bruce Dickinson in May. Their music definitely pulled us in and when they revealed their debut album 'Horizons' would be released this month we were looking forward to hearing it.
Where their mainstream relevance has diminished, KING 810 make it up in spades with ambitious ideas, high-quality execution and an earnest continuation of their signature sound. A rewarding experience for those who are willing to let themselves be surprised.
Folk-inspired four-piece Potato release their debut EP 'Stew', an emotional and relaxing EP which enables you to switch off from surroundings and engage in the music.
Liverpool rockers STONE released their debut album earlier this month via Polydor Records, catching lots of attention on social media with their take on the modern world - yes, at times political, but also dealing with subjects some bands wouldn’t dare.
Arriving on the summer solstice, 'Les Chants De L’Aurore' unmistakably captures the essence of late summer - blending warmth with a touch of melancholy, as we bask in the final brilliant sunlight before darkness encroaches. This is Alcest's most luminous album yet, both in sound and spirit.
Where previous effort, 'Proper Dose', saw the band experimenting with a number of different sounds, 'I Want to Disappear' could be viewed as a hard-reboot. Six years ago, the band were experimenting with indie-rock, and borrowing from Brit-pop. It seems that lead singer Parker Canon has-at least for now-shelved his inner Liam Gallagher, in order to return to the band’s roots.
'Keep Me Fed' continues the upward trend that The Warning has been on these past 10 years, with 12 tracks that cement one increasingly obvious fact: these sisters are here to stay.
'Afraid Of Tomorrows', the much anticipated second album from Liverpool rockers The Mysterines, was released earlier this month - and believe us it was well worth the wait! The follow-up to their 2022 debut 'Reeling', we can hear how much their music has matured since then even on a first listen.
