Reviews / Album

Most disappointing is the absence of a big banger for us to hang onto, or a gritty track about the drug game.

Not that she’s become a roaring rock singer of course, but there’s a confidence that allows for big choruses and notes that reach out to better express the human emotion behind the lyric.

Another quality Australian release

Standard metalcore for the masses.

The main appeal of this EP is its essence of fun, whether it is trumpets initiating The View, or See You Again’s spaceship landing conclusion.

This album will stay with you and haunt you until you give in and listen again.

Silver Age rages and growls, sneers and weeps, like his best work.

Summertime Heavy is as punchy and tight as it gets.

Beacon is a much more mature offering than its predecessor, Tourist History, but shimmering guitars and jaunty, almost military-precision drumming ensure this Irish trio always remain true to their established sound.

Epic Political Thrash

There’s distorted industrial beats, cacophonous de-tuned guitars, video-game style keyboards and some dark lyrics thrown in, delivered in Levi’s distinctive talk-singing style.

It’s a nice change to find a band from northern-Britain that hasn’t been completely emotionally pummelled by the thick doona of cloud that covers their region.
