TRACK REVIEW: NEWGIRLS – Beanstalk
Opening up with a riff loud and gnarly enough to melt your face off, NEWGIRLS have definitely made good on that potential they showed on their debut single earlier this year. It’s no surprise that the re-recorded Beanstalk is their most popular track yet as this is punk rock in its purest form, a rollercoaster ride that punches you in the…

TRACK REVIEW: Skepta – Man
The unprecedented growth of Grime was one of the defining moments of British music last year. While it may have been overlooked by the Brits, which has thankfully been balanced out by the recent Ivor Novello nominations, you’ll be hard done to find someone who didn’t hear Skepta’s Shutdown blaring at any point in 2015 as the…

TRACK REVIEW: Sunrise Skater Kids – Rylo Ken
If you couldn’t tell from the release date of Sunrise Skater Kids debut album being April 1st then it’s worth mentioning the band are as much of a legitimate emo band as The Lonely Island are a hip hop act. After last year’s success with his satirical album Beating A Dead Horse, Jarrod Alonge is…

TRACK REVIEW: The Last Shadow Puppets – Miracle Aligner
“It’s about a yoga teacher” Alex Turner says in his Yorkshire heavy tone when Zane Lowe asks what his and long time friend Miles Kane’s latest single is about.

TRACK REVIEW: Hovvdy – Problem
As I write this review, a strange occurrence has happened in Scotland and that is sunny weather. Just like any other part of the U.K., we’re as likely to get this kind of weather as we are a new Muse album that is any good. However, a gift from Texas in the form of Hovvdy are the…

TRACK REVIEW: Rising Pacific – Parts
Founded in November 2013, Falkirk band Rising Pacific have been cited, in typical Scottish fashion, as a “cracking wee three piece band” and one of the best young acts around which is no real surprise considering the material they’ve released so far. Naked, a single released at the tail end of 2015, featured the band channeling their inner…

TRACK REVIEW: Modern Baseball – Apple Cider, I Don’t Mind
Pennsylvanian emo, punk rock act Modern Baseball showcase new material from their forthcoming album Back in the 90’s, pop punk was fairly content in delivering jokes about fucking mums, getting drunk and farts, perfectly accompanying any and every party you could ever attend due to its catchiness and simplicity that made it accessible to pretty…

Moderat – Reminder EP REVIEW
German electronic act Moderat managed to overcome the ever fatal second album syndrome that infects any band who release a critically acclaimed debut, a triumph in itself. However, when your track record now features two well received LPs, how on earth do you pull it off again? In Moderat’s case they’ve done more of the…
