Reviews / Album

There are a few slower songs in the mix here and there, but they’re still huge in sound, energy and elation. I am thoroughly enjoying playing this album all the time.

f You Leave isn’t a perfect record, but it’s a bold debut album from a haunting and powerful trio who have a very bright, and paradoxically dark, future ahead of them.

Extensive touring has built such a buzz that bar Parkway Drive, Northlane are Australia’s most hyped heavy band. Now, they’ve shouted for all to hear that they’re rapidly becoming one of the best, too.

This is a good album that could stand as an oddball highlight in a lesser band’s oeuvre, but Depeche Mode have set their modern-day standards a little out of this record’s reach.

Twenty-five years on and Mudhoney are still full of playful vim and vigour.

Allen Stone feels like home and its uplifting hooks and unexpected melodies make it a must-have for hippie protestors, summer porch parties and anyone with ears.

Aggressive, crushing metallic hardcore.

A fine return to form for the godfathers of dark, somber pop-punk.
