Live review: The Hip Priests, The Black Heart, London, 8th Nov 2024

By Alex Goose
The Hip Priests are a band who have got better with time - and they weren’t exactly sub-par when they started out all those years ago. Granted, they were never going to fail tonight, but we weren’t expecting to get quite as blown away as we are, with an absolute belter of a set. New Saints were first support - imagine two punk rockers trying their hand at industrial music; Continue Reading

Album review: ‘Burn Down Tomorrow’ the incendiary new release from Department S

By Ruth Rae
​Since reforming in 2007, Department S have continually pushed forward with new material, and this latest studio album ‘Burn Down Tomorrow’ showcases them at their very best. It may have taken time to come to fruition, but this album is well worth waiting for. It’s complex but not overblown, and delicately produced to bring out the sounds the band were aiming for. The Continue Reading

By Ruth Rae
A new venue for me tonight; London’s Scala, which is a stone’s throw from Kings Cross station and not far from Euston Square, where Laurie Wright says he used to “beg for crack”. Today, he’s celebrating being almost 5 years sober, and the launch of his excellent second album ‘We're Only Warming Up’.

Album review: Noopinion – ‘Revolt And Resolve’ (SBÄM)

By Alex Goose
Noopinion (yep, it’s one word!) are from Germany, and after just over a decade’s hiatus, they’ve returned with ‘Revolt And Resolve’ - album number six. The band aren’t shy about showing their love for the skate-punk sound that proved so popular around the turn of the millennium. They add a touch of hardcore and even the odd metallic twist here and there, and the results Continue Reading
