All Hail Hyena – Burnley, England, United Kingdom. ‘We are the feeling you get when you first dip your knees into a warm bath; the exciting shudder you develop when peeing after a long and arduous bus ride.’ When we opened this request on our Facebook page, we were greeted...
The Hobgoblin – Bath, England, United Kingdom. The 14th July 2017 was the last full gig I and by an extension Musically Fresh would witness at The Hobgoblin Bath before its closure on the 19th. I was luckily able to find the time off my busy day job to watch...
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.

Sibiir – Oslo, Norway. Cover photo credit: Fotograf Stian S. Evensen – Click Here. When discussing the darkest and heaviest in alternative music you find that nowhere is quite as synonymous with it as Scandinavia, with Norway standing as perhaps the prime example in the region. This is where Oslo...
The Without – Portland, Oregon, USA. FIDLAR told me that I can’t buy liquor in Portland, Oregon and thats not the best first impression to get from an area on a coast you’d like to see one day, but then all of a sudden all negative opinion was negated. Why?...
Demonic Death Judge – Kotka, Finland. Cover photo credit – Simo P. J. Ulvi. Demonic Death Judge. What to say about a band with such a name and such a back catalogue. DDJ have been steadily and in the fashion of Stoner Rock and Metal, slowly but surely and in the most...
