Live Review: The Mountain Goats, Catherine Traicos & The Starry Night - Metro Theatre
"By the looks of things, you’d have thought you were at a Slayer concert, given the reaction from dudes front of stage."

Album Review: Beach House - Bloom
"The band’s creative ability to weave so much with so little is a reminder for any aspiring musician that you don’t necessarily need the best equipment, or bandmates or even anything bigger than an inner-city bathroom, to make enduring music to wake up to, fall asleep to and to be completely embraced by."

Album Review: Dr Dog - Be The Void
That’s not to say the music isn’t well-recorded or lacking in expert musicianship and vocal harmonies etcetera, it’s just a frustrating listen – given what the band have been shown to be capable of in the past – and it will be difficult for the band to justify booking a ticket back to the Southern Hemisphere on this effort alone

Album Review: Father John Misty - Fear Fun
It could be the album that makes Father John a bit more popular than he would like.
Reviews / Live
Live Review: Dead Meadow
Mostly playing the tunes that fitted somewhere in between the psych and stoner rock sub-genres of their bag, the three-piece filled the large space onstage with plenty of fuzzed solos, cutting bass and vintage drum rolls.
