Reviews / Album

A foray into the fringes of blackened death metal.

"Despite these populist reference points, and at times even because of them, 'Man About Town' rarely feels like its own self."

"Gayle Buckby and John Baker's vocal pairing is magical."

"As pure rock 'n' roll, By Design is a miss."

"...recorded with a lot of love by Dave Cobb so there is nothing astray."

"Lost Time would be even better listened to on a Walkman than an iPhone."

"Apparat's vocals walk the line between despair and hope without invoking melodrama and sentimentality."

"Hailmary are their own men now."

Showing actual pop-punk bands how it's done.

"Saturnine yet breathless, these four new songs on the EP pick up the shoegazey mood of 1992's Spooky."
