WEE QUICKIE: Slaves – Take Control
While not the worst thing you’ll ever hear, this quickly fired out follow up to the Kent duo’s solid debut does little to reassure those who see the band as a novelty act. By Liam Menzies (@blinkclyro) When Are You Satisfied dropped back in 2015, Slaves found themselves sky-rocketing to fame in such a small frame of…

BLOODY DEATH – End Call ALBUM REVIEW
Acting as a compilation of some of the band’s previously released EP’s, End Call is a sweet and delightful helping of dirty, grimey indie goodness from the minds of Bloody Death, the second act to release music under the independent DIY label Sorbie rd. First glancing at the collective run-time of this release, it’s clear that…

Young Thug – Jeffery MIXTAPE REVIEW
The hip hop Ziggy Stardust and the human embodiment of being hard to pigeonhole, Young Thug certainly thrives off his unconventional style. This no doubt applies to his work load with Thugger being just as occupied as he was in 2015 with the final instalment of his Slime Season series landing along with I’m Up in the…

ALBUM REVIEW: Crystal Castles -Amnesty (I)
History is written by the victors.

ALBUM REVIEW: Jamie T – Trick

ALBUM REVIEW: Pup – The Dream Is Over
In the same way that it’s near impossible to find a Californian punk act who don’t sing about drugs, so to is difficult to talk about PUP’s sophomore album without falling into a cliche that every review has fell into by addressing this album’s title: after visiting a specialist, frontman Stefan Babcock was bluntly told “the…
