'Bruise' is a manifesto of an artist defiantly refusing to be pigeonholed by genre, blending pop, rock, electronic elements - and everything in between - together to present something so wholly out of the box that it can only be authentically Lizzy Farrall.

It was only less than a month ago since Anvil released their latest studio album, Legal At Last which followed their 2018 release Pounding The Pavement. In support of this new material they recently headed out on a UK tour, with support for the Manchester show being provided by Ragdoll Sunday and Electus.

Former members of the Devin Townsend Project, Threat Signal and more have joined forces as Imonolith to release their solid debut album, 'State of Being'.

Architectural Genocide are looking to take the brutal death metal scene by storm and with their debut full-length, 'Cordyceptic Anthropomorph', they are certainly off to a very promising start.   

One about the nice things of the 21st century is that pop music isn’t a dirty word anymore. Pop is cool and when Oh Wonder played SWG3 in Glasgow recently we were there to see one of the coolest pop bands around in action.

Following the absolute monster that their previous record 'Forever' became, Grammy nomination and all, could prove to be a tall order for most, the weight of expectation crushing them like an ant underneath boot. Have Pittsburgh’s finest proven themselves up to the task?

After a slow trickle of singles Haggard Cat’s sophomore album is finally with us, but does it stand up as a full album or is it just a selection of great singles and some filler?

Packed full of hooks, singalongs and one of the best pop-punk tracks you’ll hear for a long time, Hot Mulligan's latest release 'you’ll be fine' is a great record and is absolutely perfect for the coming summer months.

When done absolutely perfectly, a good pop bop can melt anyone's heart, and get them moving to the beat, from the most grizzled of metalheads to the stuffiest of connoisseurs. Getting that formula right is an art in itself, but with their debut album 'Lovecore', Brighton alt-pop band Orchards make it look almost easy.

Canadian post-hardcore act Silverstein return with their great tenth record, 'A Beautiful Place to Drown'.
