Review By Glen Parkes here are albums that soundtrack an era, and then there are albums that define it. Happy Mondays’ Pills ’N’ Thrills And Bellyaches is firmly in the second category. Originally released in November 1990, this was the moment indie rock, acid house, funk and Northern nightlife collided in one [more…]

Review By Glen Parkes Some bands make an album. Others make a statement. With A Beautiful World To Lose, Corella have done the latter. This is a record that sounds like a band that has stopped asking whether they belong at the top table of British rock and decided instead that they [more…]

A Jace media music review There are debut albums that arrive politely, introduce themselves and ask for your attention. Then there are albums like Ryan Perdz’s Can’t Cry that kick the door in, plug the guitar straight into the amp and demand that you listen. This is not a record built to [more…]

Review By Glen Parkes There are albums that entertain, and then there are albums that demand to be heard. Hannah Wicklund’s War On Women; Calling All Good Men, released on 28th August, firmly belongs in the latter category.

Led by the unmistakable presence of vocalist Dani Miller, with Alex Kilgore and Matt Picola on guitar, Nick Arnold on bass, and Sean [more…]

ALBUM – DEAR GOD REVIEWER – GRAEME WRIGHT It’s been five long years since the last The Pretty Reckless album, and it would appear through the writing on this record that there’s been a lot going on in the lives of the band members during this period. It’s the darkest, most introspective [more…]

Words By Glen Parkes One of the many things that sets Maid of Stone Festival apart from so many other events isn’t just the incredible line-up of bands—it’s the complete festival experience, and that includes the food. While the music rightly takes centre stage, anyone who spent the weekend at Mote Park [more…]

There are festivals that simply put on great bands, and then there are festivals that create something far more special. Maid of Stone has become the latter. In just a few short years, the Kent-based event has transformed itself from the new kid on the block into one of the UK’s most [more…]

Meet Me @ The Altar, WORRIED SICK EP review  By Lily O’Delia  The conversation surrounding modern pop-punk tends to get bogged down by nostalgia bait, with legacy acts retracing their steps and newer bands treating the genre like a pristine museum exhibit.
