Reviews / Album

If this is an exercise in free association it’s a scary thing to behold.

The band’s fifth album kicks off with the truly grating Steel And Blood, perhaps the most Omni-esque song on the album, whereby frontman Jake Snider instantly loses all previously amassed points for being a suave bastard by coming across like a lounge singer trying desperately to incite some kind of carnal reaction from a pool of disinterested soccer mums.

You feel like walking the streets alone late at night, then Die Young houses the jams for you.

The album is composed of clever lyrics and song titles; in sum, it’s a well-refined cluster of warm songs that’d make a fine soundtrack to a coming and overdue summer.

On their second album, Songs Of Patience, British soul rockers Alberta Cross go for a polished sound focusing on succinct riffs and guitar hooks, whilst still strongly emphasising frontman Petter Ericson Stakee’s eerie vocal melodies

This is a work that lives or dies on the content of Seth’s character.

Punk veterans still showing us how it's done.

Their best release yet.

Piramida is a masterfully composed and produced record. No moment is left unheard - echoing near, far and into the distance.

Easy Star All-Stars’ Thrillah, a Michael Jackson tribute that takes on MJ’s 1982 masterpiece, falls short.
