It’s been 5 long years since New Years Day has graced our shores. Their last UK tour took place in 2020 just before the world shut down due to a little thing called Covid. To say it’s nice to have them back would be an understatement. Tonight’s show at The Engine Rooms in Southampton is…
Without wanting to spend too much time dwelling on past bands, there was a huge hole left when Every Time I Die had their untimely split. So when news that members of that band were teaming up with Greg Puciato and bringing Will Putney along as well it felt like Christmas coming early. Now with…
Dear Seattle is a band that may be unfamiliar to many, but they have been steadily gathering a following since their 2013 inception. The Sydney quartet already has 2 e.ps and full length albums in their arsenal. Toy is their third and follows 2022’s Someday. Toy is not the kind of album you would expect…
Mark Tremonti is a man who needs no introduction. One of the most successful riff dealers in modern rock & metal and arguably one of the most underrated. The End Will Show Us How is the 6th studio album from his Eponymous Tremonti project. I would be lying if I said that Tremonti and his…

Beartooth are one of those bands I adore. Not only are they one of the best bands of their ilk musically, but frontman Caleb Shomo is one of the most brutally honest lyricists and endlessly endearing frontmen in the whole game. For well over a decade now they have perfected their particular brand of mental…
At this point it seems redundant to call Creeper one of the most innovative and interesting bands in the Rock scene. Much like Code Orange, their particular brand of art is fully immersive, ever evolving and they never make the same thing twice. In fact they have become somewhat known for the emphatic nature with…
It’s hard to believe that Blood Command only dropped their last album Praise Armageddonism roughly 14 months ago, and we already have a follow up. World Domination is their 5th album and 2nd with Nikki Brumen. You should probably know by now to expect the unexpected when it comes to Blood Command. But even still…
Since their formation a little over 20 years Black Stone Cherry have been at the forefront of southern tinged heavy rock and this week sees the release of their 8th full length album and their first with new bassist Steve Jewell Jr. Opening with the title track it’s clear this is a band that has…
I will admit that Fences aka Christopher Mansfield is not a musical endeavour I was aware of. I am however glad that they have made their way into my life. Bright Soil is the fourth studio by them and the follow up to 2019’s Failure Scultpure. Listening to Fences for the first time is a…
