Reviews

This unusual release should be commended for attempting something starkly different, but its prevailing flatness could struggle to find a broader audience.

The album curiously ends the same way as it started, with a jazzy fade-out. But, why the hell not?

Salute isn't their The Writing's On The Wall moment, but it's getting close.

Gerner portrays a self-image of nomadic tomfoolery and delivers it in any kind of style you'd think to make, thumbing your merry way down a dusty highway.

The tracks' lyrics and melody may not be individually memorable, but strip back the layers and there's a vulnerability that transcends time and place.

The band themselves offer much to get excited about, but not enough has been committed to this mostly predictable record.

Starvation's debut self-titled album is a great example of hardcore that is accessible to hardcore elitists, as well as those simply with a penchant for anything gutsy.

If you're looking for another slice of catchy, simplistic garage pop in the vein of Best Coast, Heart Slice will definitely tide you over.

What’s Your Utopia? further solidifies the band’s varied yet always uplifting sound and will go down well this summer.

Familiar sounds are given profound context when played against the backdrop of African-American slavery, and some great contemporary artists make moving contributions.
