A Day To Remember - You're Welcome
A Day To Remember are back with their seventh studio album, ‘You’re Welcome’, the first release under their new label Fueled By Raman. The long-awaited album was originally set to release back on November 15th 2019, but was later postponed to “early 2020” (because “the art for the record [wasn’t] done yet”) and then further...

The Pretty Reckless - Death By Rock And Roll
The Pretty Reckless are back with the band’s fourth album, this album is the first released without the late producer Kato Khandwala, who previously worked on all The Pretty Reckless’ albums. The album jumps straight into it with the title track, giving you a raucous of twangy guitars, backed with a great drum beat, before...

Foo Fighters - Medicine At Midnight
Foo Fighters are back with their long-awaited tenth studio album. The album opens with ‘Making A Fire’, the track instantly lures you in with a good beat, and distorted guitars. The song features some gospel-style singing between these big guitar riffs, the chorus also features some nice humming complimenting Dave’s voice very well. The first...

Weezer - OK Human
Weezer’s latest surprise efforts, Ok Human, see the band teaming up with a 38-piece orchestra, to create an album that is very subdued, and personal feeling. The album has a strong flow throughout with songs fading into each other. While the album might not be a full heavy rock album, fans shouldn’t worry if it’s...

The OBGMs - The Ends
The OBGMs, Or The Oooh Baby Gimme Mores, start their second album off with ‘Outsah’, leading us in with a mix of percussion clamouring together, before taking us into a strong punky rock drum and bass infusion. The song gives us our first listen to the OBGMs unique stylings with screamy, disguised vocals. ‘Outsah’ is...

snake eyes - skeletons
Starting off this EP is the very fast paced ‘don’t worry’, the song instantly grabs you in it’s complex layers of noise. The repeated lyrics “Yeah, I’m good, I’m fine, don’t worry” show how people constantly try to disguise the noises in their heads, when trying to hide their true feelings. The song also takes...

Creeper - Sex, Death & The Infinite Void
I’ve been aware of creepers’ existence since their first album released a few years back, however I’ve never got around to listening to any of their music. I only heard about ‘Sex, Death & The Infinite Void’ on the day it released, through friends stories on instagram. So I went into this album clean not...

Alestorm - The Curse of the Crystal Coconut
Starting off “The Curse of the Crystal Coconut” is the first single of the album “Treasure Chest Party Quest”. A song that tries to separate Alestorm from their usual pirate based lyrics, but ends up sounding as piratey, if not more, than previous alestorm songs. The music video for this turns the weirdness up to...
