Nope, the band should call it ‘Spent Energy’…nothing is wasted here. The best things about the bands debut ‘Late Teens’ are all here only this time everything is rigged to a higher setting. Continue reading Press Club – Wasted Energy (2019)

Wishful Thinking – Dreams Get Left in the Past (2019)
I’ve never done a ‘best-of’ release on here before which may be a result of most local bands just never bothering to compile their best tracks and publish a retrospective. I’m so glad that Wishful’ did this because not only is it the best album in their catalogue now, it’s a blast of memory filled and nostalgia fuelled good times. Continue reading Wishful Thinking – Dreams Get Left in the Past (2019)
Reside – The Light You Saw EP (2019)
Well this is just awesome. Take a serve of ‘pop punk’, combine with one part ‘post-hardcore’ and roll it in ‘emo’. Let it rest for 12 months or more and serve. Continue reading Reside – The Light You Saw EP (2019)
Japam – Sick Boy EP (2019)
Is it too early to start flagging artists for end of the year lists? Continue reading Japam – Sick Boy EP (2019)
International Women’s Day 2019

SETMEONFIRE – Lowtech (2019)
Imagine an album which brings together all the coolest electronic parts of every hardcore and metal album of the last decade, the interludes, intros, outros and instrumental sections…and just turns them into full songs. That’s what this is: an entire album of post hardcore riffs, choruses and electronic elements. Continue reading SETMEONFIRE – Lowtech (2019)
Loose End – Overthinking Everything I Know EP
Sometimes first impressions can be misleading. I was not expecting this…at all. Continue reading Loose End – Overthinking Everything I Know EP
Reliqa – Eventide EP (2018)
Are you freaking kidding me? I’ve been aching to hear a band like this for YEARS. Continue reading Reliqa – Eventide EP (2018)
AlithiA – The Moon Has Fallen
Sounding more like a sci-fi soundtrack than a prog-rock album this has more ambience and 80’s synth than a Hans Zimmer score. Lots of ideas and extra’s crammed into a sprawling ambitious and psychaldelic album. Continue reading AlithiA – The Moon Has Fallen
Circles – The Last One (2018)
A long time coming and well worth the wait. If distance makes the heart grow fonder then I’d say we’re about to fall head over heels for this band again. Continue reading Circles – The Last One (2018)
