Album Review: Jordie Lane - Not Built To Last
The next few songs lean towards more traditional country with their acoustic guitar and gentle, longing tones in which lyrics are clichéd.

Album Review: Bastian's Happy Flight - Heart/Works
For the most part, however, this offering has style in spades but little substance.

Album Review: Parquet Courts - Tally All The Things You Broke
The grinding Fall On Yr Face flaunts a rockabilly aesthetic while jerky He’s Seeing Paths employs unusual, mechanistic undertones.

Album Review: Dlinkwnt - Make It So
This offering revives that mid-noughties trend of combining funky horns with hip hop, as in Kanye’s Touch The Sky.

Album Review: Roosevelt - Elliot
Though its deeper bassline lends itself to a more accessible, club vibe, the three tracks on this electronic release prove equal in quality.

Album Review: Yuck Glow & Behold
Yuck again display real potential to create waves in the alt.rock scene, with hopefully a true break-out album still on the cards.

Album Review: Piers Twomey & The Advisors - Pop Kills
While ‘serious’ music enthusiasts might cringe, ultimately this EP doesn’t pretend to be something it’s not.

Album Review: She Rex - She Rex
This unique four-piece deserve credit for their creativity and unapologetic brutality

Album Review: Cannon - It's Cool, No Worries
Though a little repetitive, this steadily fast-paced, seriously fun release could only be improved upon in a live setting

Album Review: 4 Letter Lies - ...And So
The standard rock format of the EP is pierced by Georgina Sayer’s mature, silky vocals.

Album Review: The Trotskies - The Trotskies
The rest of the release has a heavier emphasis on chordy guitar and a combination of dark and light keyboard tones, blended into a dreamy ‘80s sound.

Album Review: Sons Of The East - Sons Of The East
The grinding didge in California is a nice touch.
