Rise Against
Rise Against still sound urgent, defiant and fully engaged: a band with purpose, not just volume.
PUP
The crowning glory of their peerless five-album run.
Teen Mortgage
A record that plays like The Damned gate-crashing a Black Mirror episode.
Lambrini Girls
A no-holds-barred punk record, combining 21st-century problems with classic 70s thrash-punk tropes.
State Champs
It all feels a little too familiar.
Amyl and the Sniffers
A riotous punk manifesto.
Sum 41
'Heaven :x: Hell' neatly splits its time between pop-punk and metal.
Alkaline Trio
The sound of a band returning to the peak of their power by doing what they do best.
Taking Back Sunday
It's an extraordinary album, an unexpected turn.
blink-182
'ONE MORE TIME…' adds to blink-182's legacy.
The Menzingers
The Menzingers have redefined what the band means as they transition into elder statesmen of the modern punk rock scene.
Knuckle Puck
Knuckle Puck have rediscovered themselves.
Lambrini Girls
A series of searing and biting feral punk tracks that hit like a nuclear shockwave.
The Chats
Strap in, enjoy the ride and GET FUCKED.
Petrol Girls
Essential in a way so much music really isn’t, the message matters. ‘Baby’ delivers it perfectly.
State Champs
This album is everything pop-punk should be.
PUP
Ridiculous? Unquestionably. Genius? Quite possibly.
Simple Plan
The band fully embrace their own sonic identity.
Rise Against
The band lament on themes of loss, isolation, and hopelessness.
The Offspring
Any suggestion The Offspring are about to run out of steam seems somewhat ridiculous.
