Released: 17th April 2020 Rating: 4/5 Every album Enter Shikari release sounds completely different to the previous one, and never sounds like any other artist either. This theme very much continues on album number six, the truly ridiculous Nothing Is True And Everything Is Possible. The album’s 45 minute running time contains almost every genre...

Rating - 3/5 ‘Family Fun’ is the latest single released by London based, multi-instrumentalist Mellah; an offbeat, indie-pop track that paints a warped caricature of the problems facing British politics and society. The accompanying video is a satirical take on campy 80s game show Family Fortunes, but instead of quizzing the great British public on... Continue Reading →
Rating - 4.5/5 Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs (hereafter referred to as Pigsx7 simply for our mutual convenience) release Viscerals; their latest album that delivers a healthy dose of doom, punk, and metal in a dark, imposing package. The influence of doom metal progenitors Black Sabbath is abundant, peeking through the dense and... Continue Reading →
Rating - 4/5 There won’t be many albums that tell the story of a dog that goes in search of where all the music of Manchester has disappeared to. This is one. Presumably the only one. Street Dog, the eponymous hero, goes off to find that Manchester’s music is being held in the Dirty Old... Continue Reading →

Rating - 3/5 Always divisive, yet unquestionably talented and progenitor of some of the most iconic music that helped to shape the contemporary British scene; Morrisey returns with his thirteenth solo effort ‘I Am Not on a Dog on a Chain’. Granted, this magical, musical heyday of which I speak was of course established by... Continue Reading →
Rating - 4/5 ‘The New Abnormal’ is the culmination of recording sessions stretching back to 2016 featuring production from heavyweight Rick Rubin. It’s a collection of stripped back, mature-sounding tracks that show The Strokes have mellowed significantly, but like a glass of fine wine has aged well; Rubin’s characteristic production complements the simplicity and tranquility...
