ALBUM: Memphis May Fire – ‘Unconditional’ Deluxe Edition

Matthew Powers
Not content with topping charts with 2014’s smash-hit Unconditional, Memphis May Fire have taken it upon themselves as artists to enlist a fine-tuning to an already solid record. The original intent of Unconditional was that each song would feature a movie score-esque composition underneath MMF’s trademark combination of soaring choruses, urgent growls and energetic rhythm […]

ALBUM: Our Last Night – ‘Younger Dreams’

Matthew Powers
Catchy post-hardcore with pop tendencies and alternative rock-style instrumentation has become an increasingly occupied sound to play. When a sound is accused of being it is just on the verge of becoming a cliche, however one band infuses this sound with such uplifting positivity and ambition that they are nearly enough to revive a beaten […]

ALBUM: Thy Art Is Murder – ‘Holy War’

Matthew Powers
While nothing ground-breaking, Thy Art Is Murder’s 2013 sophomore release Hate was one of the better deathcore efforts in recent memory. Combining the technicality and blasts of technical death metal with the breakdowns and slight melodic ambience of modern deathcore and some of the most guttural growls ever recorded, Hate was TAIM’s breakout from the […]

ALBUM: Citizen – ‘Everybody Is Going to Heaven’

Michael Bird
For close to a decade now, Brand New’s ‘The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me’ has stood as the gold standard for the thinking man’s emo. It’s a record so immaculately crafted, so gorgeous in its anguish and uncompromising in its emotional pull that it’s hard for bands of a similar flavour to escape […]

Muse review
Reviews

ALBUM: Muse – ‘Drones’

Michael Bird
“Going back to our roots” and “stripping back our sound” are common claims for established bands to make, often a decidedly calculated attempt to placate fanbases who inevitably prefer older material to the more recent (either as a genuine response to decline in album quality or to show how “dedicated” a fan one is. Quite why […]

Twenty One Pilots review
Reviews

ALBUM: Twenty One Pilots – ‘Blurryface’

Michael Bird
It’s always pleasing when a band comes along that manages to completely defy genre parameters, even if the resulting product is a bit too obtuse to be enjoyable. Unbeknownst to many Twenty One Pilots have been doing this since 2009. Fuelled by Ramen debut Vessel was their first point of exposure for many, and won […]

The Early November review
Reviews

ALBUM: The Early November – ‘Imbue’

Michael Bird
The general public perception of ‘emo’ has shifted so far away from what the movement originally represented that it’s easy to forget the significance of many of the genre’s less brash, populist groups. Where subtlety and class have never been the strong points of the genre’s alleged mainstream standard bearers, they’re traits that The Early […]

In Hearts Wake review
Reviews

ALBUM: In Hearts Wake – ‘Skydancer’

Michael Bird
Double albums are always a difficult product to swallow in one sitting, so doing a System of a Down and staggering their release is a crafty move it’s a surprise fewer acts haven’t cottoned on to. On face value it wasn’t even apparent that 2014’s ‘Earthwalker’ was going to be followed by a second part, […]

As It Is review
Reviews

ALBUM: As It Is – “Never Happy, Ever After”

Michael Bird
It’s very easy to be cynical about hot British pop punk prospects As It Is. Fronted by American-born YouTube personality Patty Walters and plying heart bearing lyrics over power chord rock straight from the speakers of the summer of 2002, they’re an easy target for the authenticity police of the internet music community. Songs about […]
