Periphery is so good that it’s genuinely unfair to other bands. Each member is in the top 1% of their respective profession, and not just in terms of their skill, but also in their ability to push boundaries and create something completely novel. This is their second album in a Read more…
Even though this album came out at the end of 2020, I’m going to act like it came out this year because I’m pretty stoked about it and I think it deserves a spot somewhere on an end of the year list. It’s still early but Worm Shepherd has set Read more…

I had almost completely stopped listening to their new music, but ‘Disguise’ Read more…
Sentinels recently released their debut EP ‘Unsound Recollections’ through Stay Sick Records and are a front runner for “break out band of the year”. I have to admit, this EP is something that might have normally gone under my radar but I received so many messages telling me how good Read more…
Volumes dropped a surprise EP titled ‘Coming Clean’ a few weeks back and I’m really enjoying the direction they’re heading. I was surprised by how much I liked ‘Different Animals’ in 2017 and this is exactly what I expected from a follow up. I just have to say that Volumes Read more…
