Album Review: Beartooth – Aggressive
Columbus natives Beartooth are back in 2016 with a brand new album, Aggressive. The follow up to Disgusting released in 2014, Aggressive is a less angry but still as powerful Beartooth.

Album Review: Cate Le Bon – Crab Day
Cate Le Bon makes music that is happy and sad at the same time. It’s a mix of 60s euro pop and 70s lower east side New York post-punk. The guitars never get too loud, but they’re played with an attitude by Le Bon that brings the Tom Verlaine/Richard Lloyd guitar interplay to mind. 2013s …

Live Review: Neck Deep, Creeper & WSTR, Leeds Beckett, 19/4/16
Tonight’s bill is an odd mix of bands- kind of a varying punk sandwich if you will, with pop-punk outfits WSTR and Neck Deep doing their thing either side of new-grave, horror-punk band Creeper. First though are the aforementioned WSTR, who run many a parallel with tonight’s headliners Neck Deep. Fair Weather demonstrates this perfectly, …

Since the release of their debut, “Ricky Spanish” last year, plucky Hull three piece, Room 22, have been turning heads and making noises in all the right places.

See: Terminal Gods release video for Connection & Rupture + Tour Dates/Album News
According to my psychologist, the colour red is the most devious of colours, symbolising power, aggression, and sex. I dunno, but maybe that’s why London post-punk outfit Terminal Gods have decided to immerse themselves in swathes of it for their latest video… Shot by Massive Capital Video , ‘Connection & Rupture’ is taken from the bands debut album …
