Quiet Slang - Everything Matters But No One Is Listening
Remember when Therapy? took Hüsker Dü’s ‘Diane’ back in 1995 and turned it into a cello-driven thing of haunting beauty?
- Lucy and the Rats
After having lived in London for a year, Lucy Spazzy decided she needed to start a band instead of playing by herself at home.
Strung Out - Black Out the Sky
‘Hmm’ is probably the first thing that went through my mind when I heard that Strung Out would be releasing an acoustic album.
This Obsession - A Confrontational Effort
Just like The Lawrence Arms and Alkaline Trio, This Obsession are another three-piece who get to call Chicago home. But their hometown is not the only thing they share.
Illuminati Hotties - Kiss Yr Frenemies
The eleven songs that make up ‘Kiss Yr Frenemies’ are sun-drenched slices of playful power-pop. Or ‘tenderpunk’ as it has been dubbed. Which sounds exactly like you think it will.
Flatliners
Five medical students who are obsessed with what happens after you die, set out on a daring experiment. By stopping their heart for a short period, they trigger a near-death experience so that they will uncover the truth about the afterlife. But guess what? Things don't turn out the way they thought.
Battle Of The Sexes
There are tons of movies about sports. Baseball, golf and of course, boxing. Not too many about tennis though. And now all of a sudden, there are two: first there was ‘Borg vs. McEnroe’ and now ‘Battle Of The Sexes’, a retelling of the 1973 match between tennis star Billie Jean King (Emma Stone) and former US Open winner Bobby Riggs (Steve Carrell).
Trashed Ambulance - Flashes Of Competence
Meet Trashed Ambulance. This three-piece gets to call Alberta, Canada home and has been cranking out punk rock tunes since 2014.
The Creeps - Beneath The Pines
It’s hard to believe sometimes, but I have been doing this site for almost twenty years. In that time I’ve had the distinct displeasure to listen to a whole lot of not so great albums.
