Read moreJess Webberley is going places. Maybe even to the stars. Because, as Graywave, they have single-handedly conjured up an EP of cosmic dreampop that’s both strikingly immediate and exploding with potential. There were hints of such quality on a handful of singles released since the project began in 2019, but from the very first drum beat here it feels like […]
Read moreI genuinely did not see this coming. 90s UK rock scene stalwarts Hundred Reasons are back, and have booked a tour. What’s more, 90s UK rock scene stalwarts Hell Is For Heroes will be supporting. Good stuff. Now only if we can get the likes of Tubelord or Blakfish to be first on.
Read moreIncaseyouleave describe themselves as “miserable screamo/emo/punk from London” but every listen to the quintet’s fantastically-named debut EP, ‘Time and Why It Doesn’t Deserve Us’ makes me want to throw my arms in the air and smile. There’s some real heavy stuff on the lyric sheet but the words are carried by electrified punk rock, by brilliantly unpredictable rock’n’roll, and by […]
Read moreFrom French punk rock to distorted pop out of Salt Lake City, from the return of Deafheaven to a Robert Smith side-project I had never heard before, from one-woman lo-fi vibes to landslide-heavy space rock, these are the songs that have made my heart skip a beat, or maybe double time a beat, this month. I hope you find something […]
Read moreA migration is a great journey. A migration is driven by instinct, by something you can feel in your heart just as much as in your head. A migration is something slow but undeniably steady, perhaps even unstoppable. There could hardly be a more fitting title for Bossk’s second record. For a band that are the polar opposite of prolific […]
Read moreSince calling it quits in 2015, Maybeshewill have played a farewell tour, been hand-picked by Robert Smith to headline a festival, and then, over a year ago now, the boys in the band teased a slight return with an enigmatic video. I was one of the grown men crying at their final London show but it’s almost like the band […]
Read moreI love this part. The part where that Parannoul album finally gets added to your streaming service of choice. The return of the likes of Lakes and Bossk and, oh man, the part where Trent Reznor is singing again. The part where a member of one of heaviest bands I’ve ever seen writes one of the most quiet and personal […]
Read moreGet crushed! Ahead of the release of their second record, ‘Migration’, next month, Bossk have released a video for the track ‘HTV-3’. Erstwhile Palm Reader frontman Josh McKeown absolutely nails his guest vocal appearance while the band conjure post-metal magic around him. You can pre-order ‘Migration’ here.
Read moreSuperbloom is a time machine. Wait, no, I mean Superbloom is a band. This excellently-named Brooklyn-based four-piece formed in 2017 via childhood friendships and Craigslist ads, and are due to release their debut album this summer. But what this band do… oh man, what they do is create a portal back in time to 1994, to a time of gruff […]
