Crimson Star and The ‘Bay View’ EP – January 2018.

Crimson Star – Birmingham, England, United Kingdom. Birmingham is a big place, a very big place, a place that I personally spent a gratuitous amount of money in while touring its record shops recently. Now, this obviously gives me good reason to go back but perhaps there could be more...

Salvation Jayne and The New Single ‘Juno’.

Salvation Jayne – Kent, England, United Kingdom. Kent four-piece Salvation Jayne are a band taking the female-front Hard Rock tradition further along and away from cliche, we’ve seen them before – Here – with their single ‘Burn It Down’ which saw the band build on this blueprint with their driven...

Judgement Centre and The Debut EP.

Judgement Centre – Barnstaple, England, United Kingdom. The irregular line-up is becoming more and more common in our underground music scene and in doing so is injecting much needed new variety and that is something crucial. The mighty two-piece usually variates between the axe or bass-axe alongside a drummer, with...

DOT – ‘DOT’.

DOT – Toulouse/Bath, France/United Kingdom. Cover photo credit: Imag’in Live – Click Here. The two-piece band dynamic is somewhat popular these days with big names such as Royal Blood, Slaves, Sleaford Mods etc… garnering the majority of the popularity and credit to the formula and fair play to them. However, it...

Black Tree Suns – ‘Wash Them All Away’.

Black Tree Suns – Plymouth, England, United Kingdom. For our previous work on the band – Click Here. The Plymouth based Black Tree Suns are a band for those whose taste primarily sits in a sea of riffs, a sea not too metallic but rather bluesy in nature while soaring...

Underwing and The Debut ‘Kaela Upsweep’.

Underwing – Arendal, Norway. Cover photo credit: Jasmin Moriko. ‘Progressive Grunge’ is a term I hadn’t heard until I received a review request from Norway’s Underwing. To understand this I would say try to envision a concoction of vintage Red Hot Chili Peppers, Soundgarden, Audioslave, Pearl Jam and Tool. This was...

Fresh Harvest #3.

Loose Tooth – Northampton, England, United Kingdom. A photo with fitting blur for a band whose sound is blurry but certainly not uncertain or uninviting. Formed partially from the ashes of Post-Hardcore band Death Kindly Waits For Me, Loose Tooth carry this progressive and emotive sound forward a notch, keeping...

Hidden Gentlemen – Three Men, Their Music and The ‘Two’ EP.

Hidden Gentlemen – Glastonbury, England, United Kingdom. Whether you are a reviewer or musician, an avid music fan or an occasional general dabbler, sometimes you discover music that simply just works, is what it is and is happy with being just that. Glastonbury three-piece Hidden Gentlemen are very much a...

Duskwood – The Forthcoming Debut Full-Length ‘Desert Queen’.

Duskwood – Yeovil, England, United Kingdom. The Hard Rock/Stoner Rock/Desert Rock epoch is one that can really go either way. You hear the words “Hard Rock” and you more often than not think of Guns N’ Roses or some mid-80’s rumble that was more about being “metal” and generally cliche...

Heart Attack Kids – ‘No Future’.

Heart Attack Kids – London, Ontario, Canada. Cover photo credit: Berry Photograph – Click Here. Photo credit (above): Shawn Chipper. For our previous work on the band – Click Here. We first came across Heart Attack Kids back in March of this year and to be ever so blunt, were...
