Midday Committee – Girls In Open C
I want to start by saying that, if you like pop-punk, you should probably give this a listen. It’s really good. I didn’t know what to expect, having never heard Midday Committee before, and after reading the reasoning behind their … Continue reading

Nightmares For A Week / Banquets – Split

Darwin & The Dinosaur – Remus
Remus is the follow-up to last year’s Romelus from Norwich’s Darwin & The Dinosaur. I was eager to listen to D&TD after seeing they were playing with The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to … Continue reading
The Lawrence Arms – Metropole
The weight of expectation on a new album from The Lawrence Arms is so great it’s difficult to fathom. As far as the world of punk rock goes, they are one of the most popular bands on the planet, loved … Continue reading
