Tom Coles — Mon, 21 May 2018 16:03:13 +0000

"...it never feels like Morag Tong have to reign in their imagination or vision; the music they've created is colossal, but accessible and lazer-precise."

Review: Sectioned – Annihilated

"Sectioned is like being punched in the face by a gorilla wearing gloves made of wasps... Annihilated may very well leave your knuckles white and your hair standing on end, but you'll also be grinning like an idiot. Being spectacularly pissed off has rarely been so exciting.

Review: Boss Keloid – Melted on the Inch

Simon — Wed, 18 Apr 2018 14:33:38 +0000

"Melted on the Inch sounds like various members of Clutch, the Melvins, Pearl Jam and King Crimson ventured deep into a swamp with a big bag of mescaline, and emerged with a collection of long tracks packed with dynamic twists and turns, heaps of soul and a fistful of satisfyingly meaty riffs."

"Avoiding the pitfalls of many before them, they've mashed their influences into a very original and standalone creation. The future is extremely bright for Neshiima."

REVIEW: TesseracT – Sonder

Simon — Tue, 10 Apr 2018 18:05:14 +0000

"Sonder is unquestionably the most mature, most varied and most consistently engaging TesseracT album to date. It is the sound of a band who are increasingly comfortable with themselves and their sound, but are also keen to continue to develop and challenge themselves, so that the comfort doesn't develop into complacency."

Review: Press To MECO – Here’s To The Fatigue

Simon — Tue, 27 Mar 2018 13:35:28 +0000

"Tightly composed, effortlessly performed and devilishly infectious, Here's To The Fatigue is an absolute joy that should - if there's any justice in the world at all - propel Press To MECO into the big leagues. Runaway success could not happen to a more deserving band right now."
