Recent Reviews
Talking Machine
The Wytches
‘Talking Machine’ is niche, self-contained and occasionally brilliant.
The Hives Forever Forever The Hives
The Hives
At this point, you don’t go to The Hives for surprises.
Devil Ultrasonic Dream
Teen Mortgage
A record that plays like The Damned gate-crashing a Black Mirror episode.
The Death of Randy Fitzsimmons
The Hives
Even after over 20 years in the business, The Hives know exactly how to please.
The Car
Arctic Monkeys
If you meet 'The Car' on its own big-collared, sepia-sunglassed terms, you'll have a great time
Sympathy For Life
Parquet Courts
A creatively restless band who know how to transform absurdism into something pulsatingly alive.

The San Diego rockers are more aptly in pursuit of a respite and relief amidst chaos.

DZ Deathrays
'Positive Rising: Part 2' effectively draws a two-part saga to a close.

A colourful, powerful and luxurious listen.

A release that takes no prisoners.
Almost Free
FIDLAR
When FIDLAR are good, they are still very good indeed.

Cloud Nothings
There’s something about Cloud Nothings that always threatens to fall apart.
Smote Reverser
Oh Sees
Yet another first class album from a band that continues their musical odyssey.
Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino
Arctic Monkeys
It’s been five years since Arctic Monkeys last dropped an album - the iconic ‘AM’. Now, they’re finally back, but ‘Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino’ isn’t the record anyone was expecting.
Autonomy
Table Scraps
This garage psych troupe are further down and significantly dirtier than before.
Outrage! Is Now
Death From Above
Death From Above are an unrelenting force.

About as much fun as doing your taxes.
