Sleeping With Sirens are a band that have never been even remotely on my radar. Obviously I am aware of who they are, as well as their impact on alternative music, but they have just never been my thing. How It Feels To Be Lost however is a different ball game entirely. This is an…
Lana Del Rey has always felt like a different type of pop star from a completely different era, something that has always put her at odds with all of her peers and contemparies. This after all is a woman who rode into the spotlight on a wave of melancholia and declared herself the queen of…
Those who love their American Thrash Metal will no doubt be aware of Sacred Reich, a band not old enough to be lumped in with The Big Four but too old for most of us to have gotten into around the time heavy music had a popularity surge in the 90’s (just before Kurt ruined…

This collaboration album has been a long time coming. Duets albums are a rarity nowadays.There are classic examples throughout history, we’ve had Sonny &…
