With brutally lighthearted songs such as Please Put Me In A Medically Induced Coma, Sunshine & Roses and Violent, we caught Carolesdaughter on their mini UK headline show at The Deaf Institute, Manchester. Support came from Cody Frost who from competing in The Voice UK has led the charge in her rise in the scene….
Young Blood is South Carolina’s Southern rock hotshot, MARCUS KING’s second solo LP and his first on Rick Rubin’s American Recordings label. It’s no surprise Rubin was drawn to King, whose rootsy, classic rock and soul sound is a type of archetypal heritage music that Rubin tries to recreate with his acts. Of course there’s…
Two days before their 21st anniversary, and less than 12 miles from their hometown, My Chemical Romance brought the US leg of their reunion tour to Brooklyn’s Barclays Center for an evening that proved them still top of their game. With party hats along the front row for bassist Mikey Way’s birthday, the band opened on…
It’s hard to think of rock band who are on a better run of albums than CLUTCH. Certainly in the stoner rock genre there isn’t anyone who can match them, KING BUFFALO aside, possibly. Sunrise On Slaughter Beach is the band’s 13th album, but we doubt there’s anybody expecting it to witness any great misfortune….

It’s been 7 long years since No Devotion burst onto the scene with their album Permanence. It was an assured, confident debut that should have seen the band climb to the highest highs. Sadly, as is often the case, life had other plans and everything went silent. Until now that is. No Oblivion is the…
These days if you’re going to pursue a life in a rock ‘n’ roll band you have to be committed, brave, born for it, even. Let’s face it, the chances of stardom and enormous wealth are slim and you’re working in a medium that is almost an anachronism for young people – it’s like considering…
As the band themselves like to frame their own career, Euthanasia is the third album in the STRAY FROM THE PATH reboot. Kicking off with the addition of Craig Reynolds on drums and 2017’s Only Death Is Real, these last three records have played out like a perfect trilogy arc. Each one has proven to…
