Reviews / Album

Solid hardcore up and comers.

Pure poetry - plus shouting.

From the blues of New Orleans to the country pickings of the Appalachian Mountains, Douglas grabs it all and unfurls for our listening pleasure one hell of a full hand.

Revivalism is all and well, but these songs sound like they were pulled from a dusty ‘80s vinyl collection and given a bad face-lift.

It’s no longer a question of whether this album is any good. That’s a given. It’s a matter of how good.

Death metal’s scene police may angrily tear Nile patches off their battle jackets at the prospect of long-standing titans going beyond their usual realms, but this record is much the better for it.

2:54 have decided to delve back into the past, borrowing different musical elements from an array of alternative sub-movements.

A pretty impressive debut release from the London quintet. Whilst it does appear like the boys have lost their footing somewhat on the second half of the album, it doesn’t detract from the fact that they know exactly what it takes to make fun, enjoyable music.

Gossamer is about couples, touching on the ins and outs, and ups and downs of relationships, all backed by a fun, funky beat.
