My top 2 will not surprise some people and it’s mostly business as usual. Some returning bands and truly outstanding work all round from nearly everyone that’s released an album this year that I’ve enjoyed. Even albums that didn’t make the top ten (sorry Pissed Jeans, you’re in at 11…) were stonking great. Enjoy.
Ampwrecked 14: New Music For Your Ears
Death From Above keep up with the wrestling theme. Propagandhi invite us for a drink. The Bronx go rock ‘n roll. Unsane cover everything in blood. METZ destroy our ears through a mess of wires. And So I Watch You From Afar show off their new wings and Converge go completely brutal.
Ampwrecked: New tracks for your ears 10
It’s 2017! Let’s kick off the new year with a few new-ish tracks or something! Plus, I needed a post to kickstart the website for 2017, as I’m not sure what to write about. Darko, Less Than Jake, GUG, Oak, Pulled Apart By Horses and Code Orange all step up to the plate and deliver some riffs/horns/more riffs. Enjoy.
Ampwrecked #3 – New Tracks For Your Ears
In this issue of Ampwrecked… METZ and their Full Auto attack, Lonely The Brave return, La Chinga make one hell of a sexual noise, Graf Orlock time travel, Agoraphobic Nosebleed cover everything in sludge, KEN Mode have loads of fun and Mr Velocity Hopkins are….well, see for yourself.
Sonisphere 2014 – Friday 4 July
I am finally home from Sonisphere after spending what felt like an age in a car park queue topping up the tan on one of my arms. Things like hot running water and a cup of tea are taken for granted far too much when you’ve spent four days coating your body in dry shampoo, using baby wipes and eating bruised apples, washed down with warm Carlsberg.
