ALBUM REVIEW: The Lottery Winners – KOKO

When we saw The Lottery Winners for the first time in November 2022 at ‘The Barras’ supporting indie rockers The Reytons, we knew we were watching a band that had something special. Now the band release their new album 'KOKO', once again proving they're the real deal.

ALBUM REVIEW: A Day to Remember – Big Ole

The album represents a triumphant return to form, especially after the lukewarm response to 2021’s 'You’re Welcome'. While that record leaned toward a somewhat confused mishmash of sounds, 'Big Ole' sees the band rediscovering the perfect fusion of pop-punk and metalcore that made their earlier work so beloved.

ALBUM REVIEW: Clipping. – Dead Channel Sky

While their previous albums followed grand, concept-driven structures, clipping.’s latest project feels more like a mixtape – an expertly assembled collection of tracks, each one paying tribute to a potential present. ‘Dead Channel Sky’ feels sharp and timeless, evoking a sense of déjà vu for both the past and the future. This tension between the digital and the physical lies at the heart of the album, questioning whether virtual worlds are any less real than our own. With that, clipping. constructs a vision of a present-future that’s loud, tense, and impossible to ignore.

ALBUM REVIEW: Bloodywood – Nu Delhi

Picture the scene if you will. Out the back of a sweaty, packed metal venue and System of a Down, Rage Against the Machine, and Gojira are having an almighty tear up. A chaotic, sweaty, riff-fuelled rager in a back alley. And just when you thought it was over, they grabbed a meaty, bone rattling chorus, smacked you in the chops, and threw you into the pit. That’s 'Nu Delhi', the second album from India’s loudest, proudest, and most unapologetically ambitious metal export, Bloodywood.
