Album Review: PUP - Morbid Stuff (2019)
Morbid Stuff is the highly anticipated new studio album from Canadian punk rock band PUP. On their third album can they fulfil the high expectations that the hype machine demands?
The 35 Albums of 2018 You Must Listen To
What better way to start the new year than by looking backwards instead of forwards? 2018 was a fantastic year for music and I consumed a lot of great albums and great albums deserve to be shared.
Live Review: Black Peaks @ King Tuts, Glasgow (14/10/18)
Black Peaks have quickly become one of my new favourite bands. They’re British and destined to go on to much bigger things so give them a listen and if you like what you hear, buy their album, go see them and shout about them to anyone who will listen.
Album Review: Black Peaks - All That Divides (2018)
All That Divides is a genuinely brilliant album; it’s melodic, catchy, bone crushingly heavy and if you are into alternative music, absolutely essential.

Songs of the Summer 2018: Spotify vs The Head Scratcher

Album Review: Fantastic Negrito - Please Don't Be Dead (2018)
I’ve been listening to a serious dosage of metal recently but over the last week I’ve switched my medication over to something a little more easy on the ears; Please Don’t Be Dead by Fantastic Negrito.
Album of the Week: Get Your Act Together Edition - Part 2
Time for Part 2, let’s get straight into it.
Album Review: The Voidz - Virtue (2018)
Virtue by the Voidz. One of the most varied and in my opinion exciting releases of the year so far.
Album Review: Between the Buried and Me - Automata I (2018)
If you’re a fan of progressive metal then this album is most definitely for you but the harder, heavier and more cacophonous moments may drive many away.
Album Review: Turnstile - Time & Space
I can do nothing other than recommend this album to anyone who likes alternative music.
Album Review: Marmozets - Knowing What You Know Now / Live Review: Marmozets at The Liquid Rooms, Edinburgh (12/02/18)
