Prawn – Kingfisher
I first got into Prawn in the same way many of us start listening to certain bands – to impress a girl. However, as soon as I gave their first EP False Institutions a listen, I knew I’d like them. … Continue reading
ASTPAI – Burden Calls
I’m sure ASTPAI used to be a hardcore band. So much so that a certain major high street retailer has them listed in the ‘metal’ section; but I digress. The past few times I’ve seen ASTPAI live – and there … Continue reading
Joyce Manor – Never Hungover Again
To say I was excited for Joyce Manor’s latest offering would probably be an understatement. I’ve been a big fan of them for the past couple of years, since ‘Of All Things I Will Soon Grow Tired’ was released on … Continue reading
Mike TV – Sausage Hospital
Mike TV. I’m sure you know who they are. You probably hate them, everyone does. It seems to be the done thing to have an active dislike for Mike TV. Maybe it’s guitarist Jhon’s somewhat abrasive nature that puts people … Continue reading

Cheap Girls – Famous Graves
Aw yeah, vintage Cheap Girls. I was lucky enough to see these guys last year with The Bouncing Souls in Glasgow and that was it, I was in love. With that in mind, I’m reviewing from one cold listen to … Continue reading
Muscle and Bone – Peace And Light
Peace And Light is the debut full length album from North Carolina’s Muscle and Bone. If you’re a fan of Bracket, Appleseed Cast or Weezer, then I can recommend this. Muscle and Bone have moved on from basically being an … Continue reading
Challenger – Back To Bellevue
Any band that lists Peter Gabriel as an influence is going to have to be pretty special for me to change my already made-up mind. Unfortunately for Challenger, they seem to have put no effort in whatsoever. Admittedly, synth-pop isn’t … Continue reading
Mermonte – Audiorama
Mermonte is the brainchild of Ghislain Fracapane, who is accompanied – both on stage and on record – by an army of musicians. Audiorama is the first full length album, after the self-titled EP a couple of years ago. Firstly, … Continue reading
