 Reverend and the Makers have returned with their brand new album Is This How Happiness Feels, their first release since 2023's Heatwave in the Cold North, and we were lucky enough to be able to check it out in advance of it's release on 8th of May 2026. Here is what we thought.
CONTINUE READING  Now then, this is a bit of an unusual one for me. When The Spice Girls were breaking records and boundaries, I was fully immersed in the world of heavy metal, so needless to say, they were not on my radar. I have heard some of Melanie C's solo hits, and they are all cracking including the mega hit with Bryan Adams, but this new album takes things to a whole new level. Making a triumphant return with an album that is not easy to ignore, Melanie C has been working hard to bring you a collection of bangers that will help you work out hard.
CONTINUE READING  Durham's finest, The Casbahs, have made a triumphant return with the release of their sophomore album Peasants of the Show. The album has been a long time coming, with the debut album Been Here Before dropping back in 2022. They say that good things come to those who wait, and that is certainly true in this case.

Check out our full review. CONTINUE READING  Massive Wagons - Blackham Images Hometown shows are always a little bit special, and back in September 2025 that was certainly the case in Lancaster as Massive Wagons played two sold-out nights at a very special venue.
CONTINUE READING  Coventry's finest indie rockers The Enemy are back with their brand new album Social Disguises, their first studio album since 2015's It’s Automatic, and it is a little beauty.
CONTINUE READING  Photo: Dave Parker Southampton Alt-rockers / Grunge band STRAYERS have just dropped their brand new single, 'Black &Blue'. It is their first release since 'Only Human' back in October 2025 and showcases the band's energy and ability to write something that can really move you.
CONTINUE READING  Having hit the heady heights of chart success in the mid 90s with super hits like 'Govinda' and 'Hush', psychedelic rockers Kula Shaker have returned with a brand new studio album, 'Wormslayer'. It follows the band's 2024 album Natural Magick, which saw the band entering the UK charts. This new record carries all of the hallmarks of a Kula Shaker record, crammed full of psychedelia, with Crispin's distinctive vocal work putting the Kula Shaker stamp well and truly on each track.
CONTINUE READING  If you were around in the 1990s then you will have no doubt heard of Liverpudlian indie rockers, Cast, they made a splash back then with songs like 'Finetime', 'Alright' and 'Walkaway' to name just a few. They released their last album in 2024 'Love is the Call' followed by a huge tour opening up for Oasis. Now that the dust has started to settle on that amazing journey, the lads are back with their eighth studio album 'Yeah Yeah Yeah' and it is a proper belta.
CONTINUE READING  " I have never used the phrase moreish for vocals but I can't think of another way to describe it." Geordie masters of metal Priapism have recently dropped their debut offering and it is a proper banger. The album Rock Hard is a record that , from the band name and album title alone is packed full of tongue in cheek humour for sure but this is band is no one trick pony.
CONTINUE READING  Durham's finest, Million Years dropped their new single 'Circles' back in December. We have given it a spin, continue reading to find out what we think of it.
CONTINUE READING  Avenue/Rhino return to one of the most distinctive partnerships in late-sixties and early-seventies music with The Very Best of Eric Burdon and WAR, arriving this Record Store Day Black Friday. Presented as a two-disc CD set alongside a 2LP exclusive, the collection forms part of the ongoing anniversary series marking more than fifty years of WAR’s catalogue.
CONTINUE READING “This release captures Def Leppard doing what they do best, in the place that shaped them, and reminds us they’re far from finished yet.”  There is something undeniably powerful about watching a band return to the place where it all began, and 'Diamond Star Heroes: Live From Sheffield' captures that spark from Def Leppard that still burns strong after all this time.
CONTINUE READING  Good Health Good Wealth’s new album 'This Time Next Year We'll Be Millionaires' doesn’t sound like a debut. It feels like two people sitting in cosy pub somewhere, getting warm around the fire place as rain pours down outside and taking time to share stories they’ve been carrying around with them. Luckily for you they have finally decided to record those stories so you can take your place around that table and listen in. There are seven tracks in total with each one tied to a day of the week, and each one sounds like it’s being told to a mate rather than a recording studio.
CONTINUE READING  “This release has brought songs like Just the One and P.C. Keen back into the forefront of my mind, and they are still going round and round in my head as I write this.”
Read our full review here.  Leicester’s very own Dan Allison continues his musical journey, making quiet but confident strides with his latest single “Thieves and Saints.” It’s a track that has a rawness about it that is very endearing.
CONTINUE READING  “From The Pyre isn’t a departure but a continuation of The Last Dinner Party’s vision, a multi-layered, unpredictable, and subtly confident album that balances theatrical flair with baroque rock sophistication. It’s full of twists, turns, and moments that reveal something new with every listen.”
Find Out More  Algerian artist Max Marginal has returned with his brand new instrumental single, 'Home Ain't on the Map'.
CONTINUE READING  Norwegian producer and multi-instrumentalist Rural Tapes (Arne Kjelsrud Mathisen) returns with Oneiric, the fourth studio album from his Rural Tapes project. The record has been released through Clay Pipe Music, and continues his focus on analogue recording and detailed sound construction featuring contributions from a wide group of collaborators.
CONTINUE READING  Jehnny Beth's new album 'You Heartbreaker, You' is out on 29th of August on Fiction Records. Find out what we thought of it. CONTINUE READING
 "Little Dreaming is a confident step forward from an artist who’s learning not just how to be heard, but how to say exactly what matters."
Cian Ducrot’s second full-length album, Little Dreaming, opens with a playful touch of personality. A quick medley of audio clips of people attempting to pronounce his name ends with the artist himself cutting in, full of cheek and charm, “IT’S CIAN, BITCH.” It’s a fitting intro to a record that is as self-assured as it is unguarded. CONTINUE READING  Luke Spiller is best known to many as the frontman for British rockers The Struts; however, Luke has been working away on his debut solo album, 'Love Will Probably Kill Me Before Cigarettes and Wine', and that hard work has most definitely paid off.
CONTINUE READING  The Darkness are back with a brand new album, 'Dreams On Toast'. This is the band's eighth studio album and follows their 2021 cracker of a record 'Motorheart', which claimed the top spot on the UK Rock & Metal Albums chart.
