All Dinosaurs – ‘Rules of Civility and Decent Behaviour’

Hurling through their second full length album in just over 34 minutes means that All Dinosaurs manage an average of slightly over 3 minutes per each vicious, hectic track. The four piece thrash infused hardcore band hail from Cleveland, Ohio and their unrelenting, brutal approach to their sound is admirable.

The Dirty Heads – ‘Cabin By The Sea’

‘Cabin by the Sea’ is the second full length release by the Huntingdon Beach outfit The Dirty Heads, and from the get go the listener is immersed into a world of tranquillity with the sound of waves and seagulls transporting you to the band’s metaphorical paradise. The album exudes

Circles – ‘Circles’

Circles open their self-titled EP with ‘…And I Called For Revolution’, which is very reminiscent of The Cure’s ‘Plainsong’ with the repetitive, soaring melodies.

Opening with the appropriately titled ‘The Calm’, Of Mice & Men’s re-issue of their hit 2011 album ‘The Flood’ provides fans with four brand new tracks. ‘The Calm’ is the most apt title the metalcore outfit could have thought of; being a steady, instrumental introduction to the new tracks. ‘The

Hello Lazarus – ‘Hello Lazarus’

You might have come across Hello Lazarus before on gigs supporting the likes of The Xcerts and Flood of Red, and their self-titled EP brings four cherry picked tracks of the band’s material that are likely to leave you salivating for me. Opener ‘Adore/Implore’ will take no time at all

Fang Island – ‘Major’

Fang Island’s new album ‘Major’ has the same theatricality, quirk and sensational melody that helped catapult bands like fun. into mainstream consciousness this year, and with a sophomore album as sophisticated as this, one would hope such an event could be replicated. That is not to say that Fang Island
