Review: Petrol Girls release new album ‘Baby’
Right from the start, Petrol Girls have always been a band to put their money where their mouth is when it comes to activism. When they’re not writing the post-hardcore riffs they’ve become known for, their members can be found putting time and money into causes like refugee support and legal defence funds for women speaking out about sexual harassment.

REVIEW: FRANK CARTER & THE RATTLESNAKES RETURN WITH NEW ALBUM ‘STICKY’
Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes were on a high from playing their headline show at Alexandra Palace when the world went into lockdown just under a month later. They had gone from being one of the UK’s most exciting live acts to not being able to leave the house, filled with pent up energy and frustration and looking for a way to release it. And the new album Sticky, the fourth album from the band, is the result.

REVIEW: England Screams, the debut album from Strange Bones
Strange Bones, the riots rave punks hailing for Blackpool, England, are a prime example of a band grafting their way to the top.
This band has been built on the DIY ethos of the punk scene, the energy of 90s underground raves, and the classic formula to make it big in the music industry: show up, do what you do best, and make sure people come back for more.

REVIEW: Beans on Toast releases not one but two brand new albums
To release an album is a daunting task. Releasing two is an achievement. But to put out two pieces of work simultaneously is a rare-achieve feat. And yet in all its unlikeliness, the much-beloved folk songwriter Jay McAllister, better known under his notorious stage name ‘Beans on Toast’ has blessed his eager fans with two new albums released together, ‘Knee Deep in Nostalgia’ and ‘The Unforeseeable Future’.

REVIEW: Fontaines D.C, ‘A Hero’s Death’
Possibly one of the most anticipated albums of the year, Fontaines D.C. have a natural challenge with their second album, A Hero’s Death, as it comes as the follow up to one of last year’s most well-received debuts, Dogrel. To take such critical acclaim and in a sense commercial success, especially given the core DIY ethos the band hold, it would be easy for the Dublin based five-piece to create an album similarly aligned with their debut, yet this follow up album is like nothing the music industry has quite heard before.

REVIEW: Eminem, Music To Be Murdered By
Dedicated to Eminem’s late bodyguard CeeAaqil Barnes and the late Juice Wrld who features on the track ‘Godzilla’, the album was released with no prior announcement and sent a shock wave through fans and critics. The albums titled and cover artwork share the same name and inspired imagery as the 1958 album, ‘Alfred Hitcock Presents: Music To Be Murdered By’, a theme that Eminem refers back to many times throughout the album and both the albums end with Hitchcock stating, “If you haven’t been murdered, I can only say better luck next time. If you have been, goodnight, wherever you are.”

PREVIEW: Tom Misch & Yussef Dayes, What Kinda Music
What Kinda Music is the new collaborative project from singer and beatmaker Tom Misch and instrumentalist drummer Yussef Dayes, who have both utilised their unique musical skills and bought them together to create a smooth, lo-fi, electronica jazz/hip-hop album.
The title track, ‘What Kinda Music’, sets the tone for the rest of the album, opening with a snappy snare drum beat, almost as if to introduce listeners to Yussef Dayes, before Tom Misch classic electronic sound and sleek vocals are brought into the mix.
