Listen to MUSEUM OF LIGHT

Museum of Light believe opposites attract. They love the light as much as the dark, the heavy as much as the soft, and dense, doom-laden riffs as much as eerie, loaded ambience. In the words of the Seattle outfit’s guitarist and vocalist Ted Alvarez, “Those would seem to be incompatible, but the more we played, the more we realized those […]

Listen to PALPS

Formed in 2017 and motivated by teenage lust, suburban boredom and their seaside hometown, the trio started writing songs- garage riffers, sub-two-minute rippers like ‘I’ll Be Fine’ (from their ‘Water Sports and Major Cities’ EP), and upbeat […]

BASTIONS are back!

Much-missed UK hardcore outfit, Bastions, are back. The Welsh four-piece announced their hiatus in 2015, and I remember it feeling sudden and premature at the time. They left behind a handful of EPs, a half hour of vivid, gritty hardcore punk in the shape of their only full-length, and a ton of promise and potential. But to be fair, they […]
