With the album name subtitled as ‘Visions Of Heaven Hell And Purgatory’ this is one of those pieces of music with a lot to dig beneath as far as the concept is concerned. It is kind of at odds with… Continue Reading →
Audrey Horne are an interesting band. With illustrious connections in the sphere of more extreme metal, this hard rock band from Bergen in Norway specialise in original and interesting songs. Thus was my experience of one live performance and the… Continue Reading →
Psychopunch’s Smakk Valley may sound venemous and slightly seedy, but it’s actually all rolling punk with pop sensibilities. A set of driven tracks, coated in colour and bolstered with a strong sense of fun. An amalgamation of Green Day, The… Continue Reading →
