This month CYLS are set to co-release the latest EP by Houston, TX’s Football, Etc. with strictly no capital letters records. Disappear sounds like an […]

Album Review: Jake & The Jellyfish – Dead Weight
The last album from Jake & The Jellyfish, 2013’s Credit Cards & Overdrafts, was in one word; brilliant. With a debut that strong it’s hard to see how a band could progress more. However, after what I assume is a lot of hard work, Jake & The Jellyfish have gone next level. Dead Weight is a finely […]
Album Review: Isaac – Burner
In recent years, Nottingham has become somewhat of a scene hub for the Midlands. Great venues including Chameleon Café and JT Soar along with the active scene attracts international acts as well as a plethora UK bands to the city. Out of the all the bands formed in this supportive atmosphere, none are as well liked […]

Fresh from a successful weekend of opening for Koji, Bob Nanna (The City On Film, Braid) and Algernon Doll, Leeds native Sarah Carey is carrying on the momentum she has built up recently through touring by releasing a brand new EP digitally through WOLF TOWN DIY entitled In Twenty Years, We Won’t Be Sad – it’s […]
Album Review: Corporate Hearts – The Shreds
Corporate Hearts have contributed an article for our website before, about their local scene in Philadelphia. They’re lucky to be a part of such an amazing music scene which is responsible for building many of the best-known bands in the genre. Their music is pretty great too. After a couple of releases here and there, their […]
Album Review: Happy Diving – Big World
Nowadays, I almost immediately trust anything associated with the label Art is Hard Records. I’ve picked up a few items here and there from them, and they’ve put on some pretty great shows in Brighton, where I live. My purchase of Happy Diving’s Big World has yet to tarnish that blissful perspective. The album is […]
EP Review: Marko Greyhound – Demo
Marko Greyhound is a folk-punk artist from Skopje, the capital city of Macedonia. Macedonia isn’t a country which is exactly well-renowned for its punk scene; in fact this amazing wikipedia page lists just one solitary artist. Marko’s demo EP is a great start. The thing that stands out the most is, regardless of a language barrier, the […]
EP Review: The Attic Diary – Nervous Heat
Their Facebook description reads as “sad noises from Ireland.” The Attic Diary’s private seclusion of identity is clever in the fact that it made me want to listen to them even more. With who they are in mystery, you can only focus on the music and the words: a feat that can be pulled off by […]
EP Review: Milk Teeth – Sad Sack
All bands start somewhere small, but when you effectively see the beginning and then the rise, it makes it all the more poignant. I saw Milk Teeth first playing a small venue in Stroud, the Stroud Valley Arts space, and have enjoyed their climb from 2013’s Smiling Politely, the cassette single release of Vitamins, to finally […]
