Reviews / Album

This lacks a sense of occasion that would give their fifth full-length some sort of gravitas.

Waza effectively merges old-time nostalgia with a contemporary approach to genre and ‘found art’.

Ultimately, their grimy aesthetic, grating vocals and bashing of cymbals culminate in something a horny Oscar the Grouch would produce.

Die Without Hope isn’t exactly a game-changer, but it’s certainly a worthy listening experience for fans.

Unfortunately, the band’s misstep into faux Caribbean beats on Band Breaker and Fear Of The Knife will prevent the record from achieving Is This It status.

A comforting record full of local band endearment.

It’s not always easy (Sound Of Screams for instance), but Galore is a very worthwhile listen and hopefully a sign of things to come.
