Better Left Alone – Self-titled EP

BETTER LEFT ALONE are a five-piece pop-punk outfit from Lancashire, and with this self-titled EP release, it looks like they’re taking things seriously. They’re doing everything professionally with their website, press packs and they’ve even employed John Mitchell (You Me At Six, Funeral For

Burn So Bright – Sparks EP

Essex based five piece BURN SO BRIGHT have pretty much mastered the straight-up and non-threatening, albeit geographically confused pop punk sound with the release of this five track EP ‘Sparks’. This release is an unfortunately standard affair in that it’s possible to dissect the songs in

Make This Relate – One More Second Chance

My first thought whilst listening to this four tracker – these guys are from Scotland. No faux American accents here, it’s the most broad Glaswegian accent you’ve ever heard front a band. If you thought Biffy Clyro gave a nod to their heritage, wait until you hear

The Amistad – Kept Under By A Generation of Ghosts

have to apologise to The Amistad and Steve at Bombed Out because I’ve had this release for months and months – and given it a decent spin too – and just not written anything about it. I can’t even give a decent excuse for

Atreyu – Congregation of the Damned

You know how sometimes people do something and you think, ‘Why did the bother doing that?’ well this album is a clear-cut case of the above. For some reason, Atreyu have gone ahead and put out a FIFTH album and, I have to say, I hate it.

Public Radio – Sweetchild

If a record is described as ’emotronic’ it’s probably worth hating, right? That one word lends itself to such a barrage of horrible connotations that subjecting your ears to it would pretty much be akin to running naked through thorn-bushes. Shudder! According to the press release, ‘Sweetchild’ is

Wilson Fisk – The Bear Cub EP

To be fair to Wilson Fisk, you could never accuse them of trying to be anything other than a very British band. The vocals are very, very homegrown. There’s no faux-So Cal vocals, no Mockney accents…this is very British stuff. Thumbs up. These guys featured on our

Boys Like Girls – Love Drunk

Fuck me. I know Boys Like Girls weren’t exactly Hatebreed in disguise in the first place, but this record has Taylor-fucking-Swift doing a ‘duet’. It has the shiniest, slipperiest, shittest production I have ever heard on an album. It’s so fucking sugar-coated I
