Single Review: Of Kings and Captains – Ain’t Got The Heart

This week I've been listening to a great new track from a band that I can't help but describe as 'the British Fall Out Boy.' Drawing comparisons to the pop-rock legends that are FOB is quite some claim, yet Stourbridge rockers Of Kings and Captains have a special sound that you can't help but enjoy and singalong to. With vocals... Continue Reading →

Single Review: Enter Shikari – Hoodwinker

From the moment Hoodwinker launches into life with a brutal burst of low-tuned guitars and crashing drums, followed by Rou Reynolds' booming "This is the voice of God," you just know we're in for something special.

The word epic is banded around all too frequently and easily these days, but when it comes to Alter Bridge's new album the 'E word' is more than deserving.

Single Review: Jimmy Eat World – Get Right

One of the defining moments of my personal music education is Jimmy Eat World's classic Bleed American album. Tracks like Sweetness and Get It Faster helped a 17-year-old me fall in love with rock music all the way back in 2001 - yes, it's 15 years since that album was released! Now, a decade and a half...

Video Review: Chasing Cadence – Everyone Relax

If you've not heard of Chasing Cadence before, then we'd like to introduce you to a very special up and coming British band. They're fast, they're frantic, they're brutal but they're also brilliant, melodic and, in Jack Harris, they have a singer whose voice makes the hairs on your arms stand up. The video for...

Video Review: Coheed & Cambria – Bridge & Tunnel (demo)

If you're a long-time fan of Coheed & Cambria - from back in the days of In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth and Good Apollo I'm Burning et al - then you'd be forgiven for not recognising their new video release Bridge & Tunnel as a C&C track.
