Orphan release debut EP that’s uniquely their own sound
Orphan? But really, who the fuck is orphan? This duo/collective is only just starting with this new EP they title Bread, but it’s already making some waves. Everyone talks about making waves, but in my opnion, it takes something very special to turn that talk into a reality. Time will tell if they do pop off, […]
EP: Stick To Your Guns – ‘Better Ash Than Dust’
2016 is a year of firsts for Stick To Your Guns. Aside from signing with new (and frankly, better fitting) label, Pure Noise Records, Better Ash Than Dust is the first release from the band to be an EP rather than a full-length. Fans may be bummed that they aren’t getting ten or eleven new songs […]
EP: Vacive – ‘Personalities’
Once upon a time, your favourite band was a local band. In some cases it’s hard to imagine; picturing an unsigned Slipknot ripping through “Wait and Bleed” and “Surfacing” in a dingy pub is a difficult image to conjure up. If anything, discovering a band in their nascent stages is the most exciting thing a […]

EP: Cane Hill – ‘Cane Hill’
A successful sound can stick around years after it has been established. At this point, the members of Slipknot are still probably cashing checks from sales of their self-titled and Iowa records alone. Profound influence can be both flattering and all too familiar. When the play button was pressed on Cane Hill’s opening track “Oxblood” […]
EP: The Devil Wears Prada – ‘Space’
2010’s Zombie EP was an instant classic. It transformed The Devil Wears Prada into a heavier, aggressive beast all the while maintaining their post-hardcore dual vocal dynamic and ghoulish keyboard dramatics. Not only that, but it asserted TDWP as a band who were capable of creating a strong concept record, something most of their peers […]
EP: Underdog Champs – Picked Last’
Striking a balance between pop punk and post hardcore is nothing new, but the new ‘Picked Last’ EP from VA-based group Underdog Champs eschews the traditional points of fusion in favour of a more loose approach. Bouncy opener “Love Songs” is an almost entirely traditional slice of emo-inflected punk pop with a borderline-meta approach to […]
