Pianos Become The Teeth – ‘Keep You’

The Pianos Become The Teeth that brought us 2010’s ‘Old Pride’, or the following year’s ‘The Lack Long After’ is all but dead. ‘Keep You’ never sees Kyle Durfey’s vocal ferocity move above a cracked and shattered croon – far removed from the visceral screams that led the

No Bragging Rights – The Concrete Flower

Californian melodic hardcore outfit, No Bragging Rights have released their 5th album, ‘Concrete Flower’. It makes for a record filled to the brim with energy and excellently tactile musicianship. The album goes beyond just being one endless barrage of heaviness, but captures other qualities that make it so

Climates – Body Clocks

Lincoln five-piece Climates have well and truly been making their mark on the UK rock scene of late. Last month’s support slot with Beartooth got them some deserved recognition, and this month they’re doing their own headline tour. But aside from making their mark on the live circuit, they also

Guerrilla Monsoon – Big City Plans

‘Big City Plans’ is the debut mini album from Birmingham’s Guerrilla Monsoon and on the whole it’s bloody brilliant. The relatively new four piece are quick out of the traps with opening track ‘Flock’. The two-minute jam is fast, fun, and gritty melodic punk-rock that stands up to

New Found Glory – Resurrection

New Found Glory return with their eighth studio album, ‘Resurrection’, and it’s an absolute belter. The newly focused four piece get right to the point with their opening track too, the previously premiered ‘Selfless’. It’s an anthemic pop-punk jam with a ridiculously catchy chorus and a really beefy

Finch – ‘Back To Oblivion’

How do you classify a comeback? In regards to Finch it’s hard to say. Since their last break up in 2010, the band looked like they had finally succumbed to post-second album “musical differences” syndrome. Their last release, ‘Epilogue’ a collection of left over tracks from their attempted third

Yellowcard – ‘Lift A Sail’
