Bring Me The Horizon – That’s The Spirit

Bring Me The Horizon – That’s The Spirit

One of the perks of this ‘job’ is getting to hear music earlier than others, but never have I had the chance to hear an album two months before release and not only that, be one if the first in the world to hear it. That album was the then untitled Bring Me The Horizon album. One, Two, skip a […]

Frank Turner – Positive Songs for Negative People

Frank Turner – Positive Songs for Negative People

Straight off the bat I have to say how much I dig Frank Turner, there’s just something about his music, his attitude and his all-round being that makes him what he is, that being an artist you should all listen to if you have no idea who he is, plus with my musical hero Butch Walker at the producer helm and […]

Young Guns – Ones and Zeros

Young Guns – Ones and Zeros

The third album from any band can sometimes be the make or break, and honestly some bands these days don’t even get to three, so when I heard Young Guns were making their third, I was stoked as these guys have made a couple of killer records previously so I’m looking forward to checking out ‘Ones and Zeros’ and reviewing […]

Halestorm – Into The Wild Life

Halestorm – Into The Wild Life

OK, so I fell in love with Halestorm (and Lzzy Hale mind you) within seconds of hearing the cowbell intro to ‘It’s Not You’ back in 2009, since then I have spread the word, shared the love about this killer band and watched them make a name for themselves out there in this big world. I wasn’t sure how it […]

Cancer Bats – Searching For Zero

Cancer Bats – Searching For Zero

Cancer Bats are back with their new album ‘Searching For Zero’ their return after 2012’s ‘Dead Set On Living’ and it’s time to start my own one man circle pit at home and get ready for what I’m expecting to be a fast, heavy album! Opening track ‘Satelites’ with its gentle ‘whoa oh’s has you settled in and then it’s […]

Kid Rock – First Kiss

Kid Rock – First Kiss

Kid Rock has come a long way from his days of a flat topped rapper and thank god for that… his last few albums to me have been perfect, so when we get a chance to check out ‘First Kiss’ before anyone else, there is a little bit of excitement. I’m also going to review this on first listen too, […]

Buckcherry – FUCK EP

Buckcherry – FUCK EP

Let me start by saying this, I love the word fuck. I use it far too much, well at least I thought I used it a lot until I put on this new EP from Buckcherry called you guessed it, ‘FUCK’ and I know I’m going to like this, oh yeah… ‘Somebody Fucked With Me’ fuckin’ opens the fuckin’ EP […]

Papa Roach – F.E.A.R.

Papa Roach – F.E.A.R.

Now, I’ve been a fan of Papa Roach for some time now, well actually all the time, since I heard ‘Last Resort’ I knew there was something about this band that was pretty cool, so 1, 2, skip a few and with a number of albums under their belt they are back in 2015 with their new album ‘F.E.A.R’ The […]

Marilyn Manson – The Pale Emperor

Marilyn Manson – The Pale Emperor

Marilyn Manson is back, back with a new album, his first in three years, a new band in tow and a sound that may surprise many, if not all, well maybe not all, some… The album opens with ‘Killing Strangers’, an odd, almost groovy type track full of buzzing guitars and that typical Marilyn Manson vocal you’ve known to love […]

Wednesday 13 – Monsters of the Universe: Come Out and Plague

Wednesday 13 – Monsters of the Universe: Come Out and Plague

I’m quite partial to a concept record, one that sets up and tells a story and keeps you wanting to know what’s going to come from the beginning through to the final song, what it all entails and just why this was the story to tell. Wednesday 13 is back with a new album, this time with a concept and […]
