On the strength of Silent Running, the third album from Watertank, you might just discover a band you’ve been waiting for all these years.
Entropy – Liminal
Liminal by Entropy could well be the sleeper hit of the year. It’s a gold mine of huge, expansive, emotive post-hardcore with killer metallic riffs and soaring vocals.
Kestrels – Dream Or Don’t Dream
Kestrels are the heart and soul of frontman Chad Peck and Dream Or Don’t Dream is an album that brims with want, longing, emotion and fuzzing riffs
HEADS. – Push
Is Push, the third album from HEADS. their best work to date? We really think so, find out why this is such a powerful and venting collection of songs.
Shuck – Petrichor and Rainbows
From the destructive minds of Al Wilson and Jon Perry along with Andi Jackson for the ride, Shuck, could well be the band to sit nicely in the middle of that Venn-diagram of heavy, melody and aggression.
Sugar Horse – Drugs
Bristol’s Sugar Horse keep cementing themselves as a best-kept secret with every new piece of music they create. Here’s why Drugs is one of the best EPs of 2020.
Casual Nun – Resort For Dead Desires
On Resort For Dead Desires, Casual Nun plays with the notion of genre, crafting something that fits the spectrum of chaotic, thoughtful, reflective and incandescently abrasive all at once.
TRAPS – The Fighter EP
TRAPS are made up of current members of Holy Roar roster-botherers, OHHMS (all hail the riffs) and feel like the indignant and bratty little brother to these Kent-based doom merchants.
Sugar Horse – Pity Party
Bristol’s Sugar Horse firmly cement themselves in the realm of “what the fuck did I just listen to?” After the Druj EP from last year, new single, Pity Party, joins that feeling.
