Dear Frank Carter, What happened to you? I remember back in 2009 when your band Gallows released one of my favourite hardcore albums of all time, Grey Britain. I remember listening to it on repeat […]
Georgia Pine by Broken Witt Rebels
Broken Witt Rebels’ Georgia Pine is a two finger “fuck you” to anyone that says guitar music is dead. Every minute from the slow pine of ‘Susie’ to the adrenalin pumping ‘Guns’ oozes Kings of […]
Blue and Lonesome by The Rolling Stones
It’s been eleven years since The Rolling Stones released A Bigger Bang in 2005, so it’s safe to say that we have been waiting for them to drop a new album. Throughout their career, The […]

Ought @ Brudenell Social Club 15/11
Merely their second appearance in our green and pleasant land, ‘Ought’ will no doubt be back on many more occasions. The Montreal based expatriates emerged onto the indie-rock-punk-folk scene in the summer of 2012, gigging […]
