What a year it’s been for music! We’ve had everything, from an Oasis reunion to a ‘Brat’ summer,…
IDLES – Brighton Centre
Lennon and McCartney, Plant and Page, Sonny and Cher, Morrisey and Marr, Gallagher and Gallagher, and now Baker and Levy. Two minds melding and creating together to bring a joint account of the mighty IDLES at the Brighton Centre. Decide for yourself whether this is a bold, genre redefining moment in the history of gig reviews or just a string of poorly strung together ramblings of two tired men.
Photo Review: The Libertines – O2 Academy, Bournemouth
The Libertines returned to the stage at the O2 Academy Bournemouth for a raucous night of guitars, anthems, and unbridled energy. As the iconic indie rock band took the stage, the crowd was ready for a wild ride — and they got exactly that.
Review: Public Service Broadcasting – The Last Flight
Public Service Broadcasting, with the ultimate corduroy laden supplier teacher pastiche are back for another excellent lesson. Their 5th album, The Last Flight recounts the story of pioneering female “aviatrix” Amelia Earhart. Earhart was the highest solo flying woman at 25, and the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans before disappearing somewhere over the Central Pacific in 1937 attempting to circumnavigate the globe.
Review: DEADLETTER – Hysterical Strength
If you’ve stumbled upon this review wondering casually to yourself, ‘Hmmm, I’ve never heard of DEADLETTER, all caps is a bold move, I wonder what they’re like?’ Then that was pretty much what I was thinking around three hours ago and I’m here to congratulate you, you very lucky and noble music website review wanderer. You are just about to have your eyes and ears opened to something really very special. I have just listened to 'Hysterical Strength' twice on the bounce due to it being just so fucking great. You could in fact stop reading here and go and stick it on, go on, I dare you, I double dare you moth...(stop that, no need for two f-bombs in such close proximity, it cheapens us all).
Review: Snow Patrol – The Forest Is The Path
With seven albums to their name, over 20 years as a band, and a significant lineup change last year, Snow Patrol have certainly faced some challenging times. However, they have emerged stronger, firmly establishing their place in the music industry. Their evolution is evident with each release, and their new album, 'The Forest Is The Path’, may very well be their finest work yet.
Review: Boston Manor – Sundiver
Boston Manor, today, release their fifth album ‘Sundiver', a record which continues to carve out their unique niche in the post-hardcore and alternative scenes. The band, known for merging intense instrumentation with introspective lyrics, expands their sonic palette on this record.
Review: Los Bitchos – Talkie Talkie
Running in hot with their second album, Talkie Talkie on City Slang Records, Los Bitchos sprinkle their joyful global sounds that…
Review: Beabadoobee – This Is How Tomorrow Moves
Beabadoobee marks her return to the indie music scene with a memory-ridden, personal sentiment: This is How Tomorrow Moves. It's an authentic and unfiltered body of material, with all fourteen tracks proving there is no ceiling for her songwriting ability.
Review: Been Stellar – Scream from New York, NY
The debut album from Been Stellar of New York is a swirling pressure pot of post-punk and shoe-gaze, no surprise with producer Dan Carey who has previously worked with Fontaines D.C. and black midi. Kicking off the track list is ‘Start Again’, introducing us to the enthralling drumbeat which continues through the entire release, reminding me of late 90s Radiohead and enticing me to listen further.
