Week 12 of the year delivers another load of worthy records...


Rating: 4 out of 4.

Seattle quintet reprise their role in the indie-country scene, with their own twang on things. A project five years in the making, Patience, Moonbeam has every twang and melody going for a return worth waiting for. A welcome as we embrace the start of Spring.


Rating: 3.5 out of 4.

The experimental black metal quintet from San Fransisco that avoid to be defined by one flimsy bracket return with their sixth record, Lonely People with Power. It’s a beefy number and it’s not to be trifled with. Listen at your own risk.


Rating: 3.5 out of 4.

More power ballads to shake a stick at, zany ’70s-esque outfit of The Darkness have been entertaining the masses since their tenure in 2003 with Permission to Land. It’s pure rock ‘n’ roll in the most unadulterated form. I Hate Myself is straight out of the disco playbook.


Rating: 3 out of 3.

Deep in the forest undergrowth of some murky outback, come Snapped Ankles their industrial macabre of tectonic techno. RESISTANCE IS FERTILE! Hard Times Furious Dancing is a colossal sound-bed of fuck around and find out. Not everyone’s cuppa but it’ll be someone’s bag out there.
