Album Review: MUTEMATH - Odd Soul
                                                                         Score: 4.6/5 In an era where mimicking what the rest of the pack are doing is the norm, MUTEMATH stands refreshingly on their own, refusing to be shackled down or defined by any one particular genre. With ‘Odd Soul’ they reboot once more, metamorphosing their sound into a magnificent, New Orleans’ Rhythm...

Album Review: Portugal. The Man - In The Mountain...
                                                                                     Score: 3.8/5 Forever the “fan’s band”, Portugal. The Man’s musical output over the past six years is enough to put many other bands to shame. An album every year, since their conception is a remarkable feat for any modern-day band, and this is made even more remarkable through the...

Album Review: Incubus - If Not Now, When?
                                                                                      Score: 4.0/5 I approached this seventh studio offering from Incubus with a certain sense of trepidation and vigilance, observing how each album from the band has been markedly different in nature and tone, that makes judging them so very difficult. The key I find to that, is to simply not think of the records...

New Album Releases in July
Its been a while since I’ve been on here, so long in fact that birthdays and Wimbledon Finals have to come to pass and the Euro-zone’s financial crisis has stretched further to Portugal. Perhaps that’s down to not yet fully recovering from the intense musical implosion we experienced with wonderful releases back in June from the likes of Friendly Fires, City and Colour and Death...

Album Review: City and Colour - Little Hell
                                                                                        Score: 4.3/5 Dallas Green returns for his third effort with side project ‘City and Colour’ with soulful repose and ambitious vision. ‘Little Hell’ marks a new chapter in the City and Colour story and it provides plenty of breath-taking twists and turns throughout each song, adding a...

Album Review: Death Cab For Cutie - Codes And Keys
                                                                                      Score: 4.4/5 I’ve always been interested in power and the way in which people attempt to hold onto it and Death Cab For Cutie certainly plays into an exclusive and elite group of bands such as Modest Mouse, Jimmy Eat World and Brand New that, release after release of new material, still manage to remain...

Album Review: Friendly Fires - Pala
                                                                                 Score: 4.0/5.0 Friendly Fires return with a tantalising, sun-drenched sophomore album that would blend seamlessly into the summery idyllic escape of an island. Lead singer Ed Macfarlane claimed the album would be a natural progression of their sound, and the tracks on ‘Pala’ evidently reveal this...

Album Review: Augustana - Augustana
                                                                                   Score: 3.8/5 It’s been a long journey for Augustana from the euphoric highs of their hit single ‘Boston’ from their debut effort in 2005 and for a band, the direction in which you take after such success can define you for the rest of a career. Fortunately in the case of Augustana, this...

Album Review: The Wombats - This Modern Glitch
                                                                                        Score: 3.9/5 The hotly anticipated sophomore effort from The Wombats reveals a new found embrace of synth and of a dance-rock sound with the guitar-driven effort of their debut being largely thrown out and replaced by the blaring sounds of electro and synth. If that’s the most noticeable change on the...
