ALBUM: Handguns – ‘Disenchanted’

Kat Tanaciev
1
2015 has been chalk full of great releases from pop punk bands, such as The Wonder Years, Knuckle Puck and Neck Deep. With so many recent releases within the genre, one might say it would be hard to even compete with so many incredible bands that have released albums this year. Handguns however completely stands […]

ALBUM: Myka Relocate – ‘The Young Souls’

Matthew Powers
On Myka Relocate’s second album The Young Souls they don’t so much tread new path as much as they do hone in on their definitive sound. Blending pop hooks, ambient electronics and metallic heaviness isn’t by any means a new idea. In fact, it may just be one of the most currently populated sounds. Even […]

ALBUM: Escape The Fate – ‘Hate Me’

Matthew Powers
It’s crazy to have watched the Escape The Fate name progress. Through excruciating line-up changes and several different approaches at the end of the day the same band is still standing there, but somehow bigger and bolder each time. This has rang true for four albums and nine years now. Curious listeners in regards to […]

ALBUM: Battlecross – ‘Rise To Power’

Matthew Powers
Few things are as fun to listen to as a good thrash metal record. If the tried-and-true formula works correctly, you as a listener will be compelled to grow your hair out specifically for headbanging purposes when listening to said record. Your fingers may also quickly learn how to form the devil horn symbol. It’s […]

ALBUM: Neck Deep– ‘Life’s Not Out to Get You’

Kat Tanaciev
After a busy year and a half of touring, appearing on the 2015 Warped Tour lineup, and with much success following their first album Wishful Thinking, Neck Deep have released their sophomore album Life’s Not Out to Get You. Fans first got a taste of Neck Deep’s new album on May 11th when the single […]

ALBUM: Dr Dre – ‘Compton’

Michael Bird
It’s pretty damn depressing that the bulk of under-20s – hell, maybe under-25s – will primarily recognise the name Dr Dre as the one attached to a terrible brand of headphones. Few men in history have contributed as much to the world of hip-hop as the good doctor, who’s produced as many classic records as […]

ALBUM: Lamb Of God – ‘VII: Sturm Und Drang’

Matthew Powers
American groove metal icon Lamb of God’s newest release is perhaps the most frantic album the band have ever done. Though evident from the breakneck pace of blistering opener ‘Still Echoes’ it is the weight resting on the legendary 5-piece’s shoulders that especially creates a sense of immediacy throughout ‘VII: Sturm Und Drang’ (German for […]
