Catholic Action’s In Memory Of is a strong and surprising debut. It’s an album of sounds that you won’t have heard from a modern group in a very long time and, once accepted, it becomes an album that’s almost modestly epic. The songs have plenty of charm under the…
Consume Me is the début album from Dog In The Snow, a solo project from Helen Ganya Brown, who is a touring member of Brighton dream pop outfit, Fear Of Men. This album was written during the American leg of Fear Of Men’s epic tour in support of Fall…
Colors, Beck’s 13th studio album, sees the musical magpie from Los Angeles repeat one of his favourite tricks with a chameleonic change of genre and mood from 2014’s Morning Phase. That previous album existed in a perpetual state of sun-kissed mellowness but anyone who wanted more of the…

Although hailed as the new Lennon and McCartney back in their prime, thanks to a succession of sublime, melodic and poptastic new wave-type tunes, Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook never quite managed to achieve super stardom, despite the big early promise of 'Up The Junction’ and 'Cool for…
Recently risen Chicago pop-punk crew, Knuckle Puck, are back with their second full-length record, Shapeshifter.
