Music Reviews

For a band that has made their mark at UK and international festivals such as Reading & Leeds, Isle Of Wight and SXSW, Tijuana Bibles are only just dropping their debut album, 'Free Milk'. Comprised of Tony Costello (vocals), Danny Costello (bass), James Brannigan (guitar) and Mikey Dornan (drums), this Scottish quartet gives the UK rock scene a run for its money. Blending indie with punk, Tijuana Bibles' album addresses feelings of frustration, isolation and anxiety as the world changes dramatically.

Dogma are a quartet of foot stompin’, hair swingin’, riff rattlin’ and surprisingly impressive hard rocking nuns. The band’s debut album dropped last month via MNRK Heavy, with an eleven track slab of bodacious, bombastic arena-rocking tunes.

Wargasm have tooled up, armed themselves to their musical teeth and are at their heaviest to date, with their raw, ferocious, ambitious must-listen, ignore-them-at-your-peril debut album 'Venom'.

Catch Your Breath are ready to make their mark with their reflective debut album, 'Shame On Me', a tremendously emotional album that carries the listener through a journey of pain, despair and everything in between.

Moscow born, Czech Republic raised and Brighton-based artist Aiko is back with her second album 'Fortune's child', taking listeners on an emotional rollercoaster while experimenting with new sounds.

Nobody does a dramatic exit quite like Creeper, and nobody does escapism within a world of music and commitment to a theme quite like them either. The latest slice of musical delight from Southampton’s finest is 'Sanguivore', which takes listeners by the hand and, with two fangs on the neck, into the dark, alluring and bloody world of vampire lore.

Even if 'SC\SSRS' is just a one-off release from Taproot, it’s an essential one for fans. While it definitely ranks highly among the band’s back catalogue, fans of the recent nu-metal revival, and of heavy music in general will also find something to love on here.

Air Drawn Dagger are reminding the world that emo was never a phase. Their new EP, 'Songs To Fight The Gods To', draws inspiration from early Paramore and My Chemical Romance, blended with flavours of 80s hip-hop. Here's what we thought of their ambitious new release...

Emerging Chicago-based indie band Slow Pulp are back with their second album 'Yard', their first release on ANTI Records. Here's what we thought of the band's follow-up to their 2020 debut album 'Moveys'.
