#MODERATEROCKRECOMMENDS- February 2019

A weird month, this. February often finds a new year gearing into full swing. It’s a little grey and rainy, sure, but it’s still a time to look back and spring forward. No thanks to tragedy, politics, and the powers that be though, this time around- at least in the UK- time seems to have stood still.

Thank the gods for new music then, an ever faithful measure and mark for progress, a spark in the gloom. And my word, what sparks- from ferocious UK hardcore to Japanese noise metal, striking classical oddness to powerful post rock, and beyond- I hope you find something to love.
