As It IS

This Mind Of Mine – EP Review

As It Is have released their long-awaited, fan-funded EP, This Mind Of Mine. The band’s new EP is four tracks long and each one should have every fan of the pop-punk genre pumped up and ready to rock. As It Is are a band that I haven’t really listened to in the past however this new EP they have definitely got me into them and I won’t be looking back.

‘This Mind Of Mine’ has definitely pleased the band’s already conquered fanbase, it’s always great to win over a few new people and so far, it seems to be working very well for the guys. That is due to the diversity the band succeed to show in just four tracks which is something that many bands can’t do in a full album

The guys manage to succeed to show just what they’re made of in four tracks by going from fast and powerful to a slower, more heartfelt and emotional side with closing track ‘Relive The Story.’

Make sure to grab a copy of the EP you wont be able to stop listening to it.

Above The Underground - Album Review

Above The Underground

Sonder – Album Review

Above The Underground’s 10-track debut kick off with the a Prologue which fades into ‘Return To Point Pleasant’, which the band premiered ahead of the albums release date, this song catches the listener’s attention right from the get go, making us want more. With so bands coming out of the woodworks every day in the pop-punk scene, how ever ‘Sonder’ isn’t on of those albums where you think “all of this sounds the same”, its got a unique and fresh sound to it.

Although the album features some basic ingredients that make a pop-punk album such as the bands catchy choruses, gang vocals and brilliant guitar riffs, Above The Underground are brutally honest in their songs and they stand out with their own sound and it truly makes a difference. Each track is truly has the perfect pop-punk blend with pop rock.

All in all, ‘Sonder’ is brilliantly honest and a very well executed debut by an extremely promising band.

The Album is out now so make sure you pick up your copy

Our Last Night Glasgow

Our Last Night

Glasgow 18/2/2014

Our Last Night Played their first headlining gig in Glasgow on February 18^th at Ivory Blacks and what a gig they played.

Our Last Night are a 4-piece band from New Hampshire, USA who first came to the UK on tour last year with Sleeping With Sirens.

For their first headliner they completely tore up Ivory Blacks, the venue was packed. Playing songs from both their debut album and their new EP Oak Island the crowd loved every minute.

I’ve been to my fair share of gigs in Ivory Blacks and it’s safe to say I’ve never seen so many crowed-surfers all going for it at the same time and the band completely loved it.

Tonight Alive - The Other Side (album review)

Type - Album Review 

Artist - Tonight Alive

Title - The Other Side

Tonight Alive's much anticipated second album is available in the UK as of tomorrow and the Aussie 5-piece have produced an album which is a fantastic mix of pop-rock and some mid-2000's post-hardcore. 'The Other Side' is packed with addictive melodies and easily relateable  lyrics. The sound they have created from their cross-influence of genres gives the album a definitive rock sound, a massive improvement on their first album 'What Are You So Scared Of?', with the lead singer Jenna saying the record has both "Balls and Bite."

The record opens with 'The Ocean' a fast-paced song which is the first of many conversational pieces on this album. Jenna belts the chorus "some days it feels like the ocean lies inside of me" an extremely personal line which is the first of many throughout the album. 

The record continues on with solid songs such as 'Don't Wish' and 'Hell and Back' both songs are laden with beautiful yet dark melodies. throughout 'Hell and Back' Jenna's voice beautifully cuts through the music to deliver heartfelt lines "As the walls crash down, I felt it slip away. Because I went to hell and back just to be where I am today."

'The Fire' is the best song on the album with Tonight Alive providing somewhat of a wake-up call with this track. Just as they done with their first album 'The Other Side' ends on a catchy ballad with 'You Don't Owe Me Anything' which will pull at the listeners heart string with the lyrics being personal, honest and catchy.

'The Other Side' is a massive improvement from Tonight Alive's first album and it truly showcases this Aussie bands amazing capabilities of musicians and songwriters. Tonight Alive have big things in their future and this record is just what they needed to put out at this point in their career.

We give this album 9/10 and we would strongly recommend that everyone grabs their copy when it hits iTunes tomorrow.
