The constant hit maker that is Kurt Vile follows up his fantastic Wakin on a Pretty Daze with a collection of songs that sees him going back to basics somewhat. With less of the experimentalism […]
I can hear the elitist critics up in arms now; “This is not Youth Lagoon!?” In many ways they’re right. If you’re expecting the same spacey, synth heavy, dream pop that the Boise raised, one-man-show […]
Chvrches arrival on the music scene in 2013 was a wonderful thing. Their debut, The Bones of What You Believe, was one of the finest electronic pop albums since the Pet Shop Boys’ ‘Behaviour’, and […]
Firstly, a couple of New Order confessions. I’ve never been that upset about New Order carrying on without Pete Hook. Their live shows in 2012 were re-energised, hugely enjoyable and didn’t actually miss him. The […]
The members of Crowded House found themselves in 1989 toiling away on the follow up to their sophomore album Temple Of Low Men. In the period leading up to recording the band would add to […]
Taylor Swift’s 1989 is one of those rare albums that unites the vast majority of music fans all of whom rightly bow down to its pop majesty. No matter how hard you might try and […]

In August 1997, Stereophonics released their debut studio album, Word Gets Around, which bore five singles and peaked at number six in the UK music charts. Now, eighteen years on they have released their eighth […]
It’s always baffled me that there exists truly good albums I genuinely disliked upon first listen. The Pixies Surfer Rosa for example. As a teen in the thralls of a purist punk phase I felt […]
Battles’ third album La Di Da is a curious beast. Unlike 2011’s Gloss Drop, this album doesn’t feature guest vocalists; instead the band serve up 12 instrumentals, some better than others, giving the album a […]
The Light In You from Mercury Rev is their first album since 2008’s Snowflake Midnight and, where that album seemed to indicate a band that had run out of steam, The Light In You sees them recharged […]
Faith in the Future is the second solo album from Craig Finn (former frontman of The Hold Steady and his former band Lifter Puller) which is out now on Brooklyn based indie label Partisan Records. Based […]

The band Silverbird has become a popular fixture on the NYC Club scene. They are following the release of their 2014 EP Surface Life with the debut LP Pureland available September 18th. Their music inhabits […]
As Andy Bell embarks on another non-stop year, the flamboyant workaholic, who incidentally has just completed a solo string of gigs across South and Central America, releases the first of a number of Solo, Collaborative […]
Abandoned is the latest full-length album from Massachusetts Melodic Hardcore band Defeater. It comes after a two year break from 2013’s fantastic Letter’s Home. In between the release of these two albums, the band’s vocalist […]
It’s ten years since The View first appeared with their superb debut Hats Off To The Buskers , an album filled to the brim with tales of Dundonian nightlife that still sounds fresh as a […]
Bands reuniting after a gap of 11 years seldom produce something satisfying so it’s pleasing that The Libertines third album, Anthems For Doomed Youth contains many traces of what made the band so thrilling first […]
