Album review: Marvin Heemeyer – ‘A New Low’

By Alex Goose September 28, 2026

Ah, but what they probably don’t understand is that the best hardcore is served up raw and abrasive, and that’s exactly what Marvin Heemeyer do here.Continue Reading

Album review: The Mary Tyler Whores – ‘As Filthy As We Wanna Be’

By Alex Goose September 22, 2026

On reading their biography, it’s hard not to be amazed that The Mary Tyler Whores exist in the 21st century, never mind that they’ve managed to record a whole album. Back in the day (we’re talking around 1999), the Floridians caused and courted chaos in equally large measures...Continue Reading

Not Scottish in the tourist-board sense - no kilts, or mist rolling over glens here, but Dundee: funny, stubborn, unpretentious and seemingly suspicious of anybody taking themselves too seriously.Continue Reading

By Alex Goose September 14, 2026

One question: are the songs any good? That’s what most fans of The Drowns will want to know about ‘Harsh Reality’, the band’s fourth album.
