Fall Out Boy are back with a new record and it’s a mix of great and mediocre according to Megan Downing.
Local Winchester-based musician Josh Savage released his debut solo E.P, Mountains in Hurricanes early last month, which was recorded partly in his bedroom and partly at studios in York University where he studied. Josh has been fortunate enough to have had BBC Introducing air play, as well as being a support act for the likes…
Tribes shot to fame by creating a name for themself the old fashioned way by gigging around Camden. In fact it was practically impossible to find any indication they even existed on the internet in the early days, such behaviour is practically unheard of within this technological age we now live in. Despite their non-existence…
Upon the release of their eighth studio album, Graffiti on the Train, I found myself contemplating: are the Stereophonics on the right track to another successful album? Or have they finally run out of steam? After listening, however, it was clear that they hadn’t lost their touch. The new album demonstrates how the band aren’t afraid to re-invent themselves…
Overgrown sees James Blake take the criticisms and commendations of his debut on board to demonstrate profound honesty, floundering melancholy and irrefutable musical ability.
Filthy Empire is the long awaited debut album from British hard rockers Heaven’s Basement, formed in 2008. It is produced by famed producer John Feldmann, who has worked with many of the most successful modern rock bands such as Good Charlotte, Papa Roach and Black Veil Brides. During the long gestation period of this album…
The Strokes have a habit of keeping us all guessing what they’ll do next. After Is This It? everyone expected a natural progression in Room On Fire—but instead they gave us a completely different beast. No one really ever expected a follow up to First Impressions Of Earth after such a long time and such…
The album opens with ‘Wolf’ a beautiful piano led introduction wonderfully dirtied up in true Tyler style with the first obvious lyric being ‘Fuck. Fuck You’. Welcome to the word of Wolf, the third studio album from Tyler, The Creator. Tyler told the world three years ago that his third album would be called Wolf and despite messing around…
Itch’s debut solo EP leaves one with the notion that he should first learn how to f*cking rule at making music before focusing on life itself.
As a huge fan of the indie-rock movement, I know as much as anybody how much competition is out there at the moment, and thus how hard it can be to stand out. However, with their debut album In Love, Peace show exactly how this outstanding status can be achieved, with almost flawless precision. The…
The 20/20 Experience is the upcoming third studio album by American pop-star, actor, former Mickey Mouse club and ‘N Sync member, and all around nice guy, Justin Timberlake. It comes almost 7 years after the release of previous album FutureSex/LoveSounds in 2006 and it was getting to the point where I was wondering if JT…
It’s been 10 long years since David Bowie released his last album Reality, and in that space of time, aside from cameos and one-offs, Bowie’s been on a well-earned break from the music scene. However, seemingly out of the blue, Bowie celebrated his 66th birthday with the announcement of his newest studio album The Next…
Out on March 18th, Daughter’s debut album If You Leave is a delightful mixture of intense, raw and sometimes claustrophobic angst
It seems like a long time since Happiness first took us into the greyscale world of Hurts. It came with a flair for dramatics, a severe case of taking itself far too seriously at times and emotional outpourings aplenty but regardless it was a brilliant album. Three years later we happen across the darker, unexplored side…
