Live Review: Gignition

While the guitar didn’t lift above the wall, the drums provided the flourish to give emotion, as well as propulsion, to the music, with the vocals staying high and clean even as they howled out till the close of the venue.

Live Review: Fat Shan Records Showcase

A soft voice filled with strength, she was an exceptional finale to a night highlighting local players worth keeping an eye on.

Reviews / Album

Album Review: While She Sleeps - This Is The Six

While She Sleeps have delivered a solid album with the ability to satiate the thirst of any metal fan, progressive enough for those with such an itch while, I dare to claim, it’s delivered with enough intensity for the purists.

Live Review: Hail To The Tribute

Live Review: Chainsaw Hookers - Rocket Room

Dirty distortion on the guitars glided over a classic rock feel – their hard riffs constantly sounded like they wanted to erode through into melody.

Live Review: Dead Letter Circus - Metropolis

"Dead Letter Circus have clearly become comfortable with themselves over the years, no longer instructing the audience to mosh to certain songs, but letting them rip hard of their own accord to the energy provided."

Album Review: Jack White Blunderbuss

To people who are already fans, you’ll love this. For the disbelievers, you’ll remain un-phased. And for newcomers, this would be the perfect introduction to the sound and style of a contemporary icon.
