East Ends – What’s The Furthest Place From Here?
East Ends’ new EP, What’s The Furthest Place From Here?, is reminiscent of summer pop punk and indie anthems from the early 2000s. Ash, The Ataris and The Gaslight Anthem all come to mind when listening to different tracks on … Continue reading
Alcopop Records – The Wit and Wisdom of Nigel Farage 7”
So, I’m reviewing a blank record. Yup, this record is blank. Well, at least the A-side is, anyway. It’s an homage to the Stiff Records “The Wit and Wisdom of Ronald Reagan” release of the 80s which was also blank. … Continue reading
The Kimberly Steaks – Chemical Imbalance EP
Starting us off is the early Green Day inspired ‘Chemical Imbalance’, one and a half minutes of well-crafted deppresio-pop which serves as a warning against listening to the darkness in a hungover walk of shame. Gregg laments “I can’t take … Continue reading

Haze – Clouds Surround & Breathe
My first play of Haze’s debut album was in the office, and it didn’t really work for me there. I also tried the car on a bright sunny day, and again, no joy. However, through headphones, running around Richmond Park … 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
Museum Mouth – Alex I Am Nothing
Starting off like a cross between Idlewild and The Thermals, ‘Alex I Am Nothing’ by Museum Mouth is a blistering 11-track concept album, slotting into the rock and roll sonic alphabet somewhere between Ash (Trailer/Nu-clear Sounds-era) and Talking Heads for … Continue reading
