Suntitle – Port Republic, New Jersey, USA The tale of what “Emo” was, was then debunked as and then went on to be, is mired in profundity. Suntitle and the Pure Forever EP very much fit into the latter part of that sentence. The genre or rather the sentient morphing pseudo-stylistic is one that has

High Visions – Leeds, England, United Kingdom High Visions and A First Date With Imposter Syndrome enter into 2020 via INiiT Records. This is notable for two reasons.

Mawpit – Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom The genre moniker and stylised form of sound known as Grunge is a funny one. In this here 2020 Mawpit tells us of ‘Natures Curse’ using this very word and all its inherent fuzz via a background elsewhere but also two-thirds adjacent. I hear you. What a colossal load

TANKENGINE – Newcastle, England, United Kingdom TANKENGINE – TANKENGINE TAKENGINE is a collection of words denoting to the cliché (but apt) description of the words “powerhouse trio”. In fact, couple those very words with a cacophony of eerily inviting groove, playful Noise Rock “why nots” and complicated, spasmodic Post-Hardcore energy and it actually becomes a

Bards – Manchester, England, United Kingdom Progressive Rock is an ambiguous moniker indeed. Bards and their ‘Barricades’ single very much fit into this term mired in pre-listen mystery. The Manchester band’s career has ebbed, flown, soared and swam through various sonic landscapes since 2018, always accompanied by an emotional introspection itself flowing and ebbing at

Scavengers Circle – Västerås, Sweden Sweden is a country synonymous with fast and heavy music from crushing Metal to melodic Punk-Rock. Scavengers Circle and Beyond Repair are very much on the fringe of an “in-between” of sorts.
