The Reviews Are In

Bernard Fanning - Departures

"It's difficult to say a bad word, but this just doesn't command the repeat plays it should."

Black Sabbath - 13

"No, it's not as vital as Master Of Reality or Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, but 13 exceeds expectations and stands as an important marker in the Sabbath canon."

Empire Of The Sun - Ice On The Dune

"Don't let the repetitive arc of the first single from the album, Alive, fool you. The Empire are back, in all their grandiose glory."

KT Tunstall - Invisible Empire//Crescent Moon

"As the album proves, heartache, it seems, suits Tunstall to a tee."

Surfer Blood - Pythons

"The thing that sets Surfer Blood apart from other rock bands is their ability to subtly turn your standard rock song into a work of art."

Austra - Olympia

"Olympia pushes the envelope both musically and thematically. A refreshing, stimulating album, it's probably one of the strongest releases of 2013."

The Love Junkies - Maybelene

"Maybelene will, if we're lucky, be the album we look back on as being a strong, even if derivative, start to a great career."

Andrew Stockdale - Keep Moving

"It's a feelgood album and leaves the listener with a definite spring in their step."

Miles Kane - Don't Forget Who You Are

"Kane's weakness lies in ballads, when he struggles to avoid maudlin and cliché, like Fire In Our Hearts."

Frankie & The Heartstrings - The Days Run Away

"There's something more to this group than the usual disco-infused punk derivatives that seem to be hemorrhaging out of northern England."
