Nu metal gods Korn return to the fold with their brutally heavy twelfth studio album that sees the ultimate misfits make a return to a more familiar sound. After spending recent years branching out into […]
Everything Is My Family by Crystal Fighters
The new Crystal Fighters album, Everything is my Family, was highly anticipated by fans. It’s been three long years since their last album, Cave Rave was released. The Guardian’s Paul Lester previously described Crystal Fighter’s music as “what would happen […]
Mapping the Rendezvous by The Courteeners
It seems The Courteeners have stood the test of time unlike so many other indie bands of the late 2000’s that came and went. Some may not realise, but since their successful first album St. […]
Beach Baby @ The Wardrobe, 17/10/16
The London based band Beach Baby was born, pardon the pun, after Lawrence Pumfrey and Ollie Pash met at University and were joined by bassist Iraklis Theocharopoulos and drummer Josh Hodgson. Since 2013 they’ve released […]

Let Them Eat Chaos by Kate Tempest
South-East London wordsmith Kate Tempest returns for her anticipated follow-up to 2014’s acclaimed and Mercury Prize nominated Everybody Down. Her musical debut caught the attention of many with its very delicate stylistic balance between hip-hop […]
Don’t Let the Kids Win by Julia Jacklin
Jacklin may hail from New South Wales, Australia, but Don’t Let The Kids Win is pure Americana. Her debut record is full of nostalgia and self-reflection, with reverb-heavy guitars and relaxed rhythms creating a hazy […]
Stay Together by Kaiser Chiefs
Kaiser Chiefs have stepped back from indie rock ballads and embraced Coldplay-esque pop tunes on their new album, Stay Together. Some might say that they’ve sold out like never before, but since Employment they’ve been […]
The Sorceress by Opeth
Mikael Akerfeldt and co. return to the fold with another solid prog rock album brimming with instrumental variety and musical ingenuity, whilst slightly lacking in innovation. It’s safe to say that Opeth have all but […]
