Album review: Diaz Brothers – ‘The World Is Yours’ 

By Alex Goose
Well, after witnessing Diaz Brothers’ storming gig at London’s Hope & Anchor back in early January, how could we not check out their new record? ‘The World Is Yours’ (yep, that’s a ‘Scarface’ reference!) is the band’s second, after 2020’s self-titled debut, but the members are all old hands at this punk rock lark, having been active in other bands since the 80s.Continue Reading

None more bleak.

EP review: The Freudian Session release ‘Matter Of Time’

By Hannah Calver
Alternative punk/metal band The Freudian Session are based in Reading, UK. New EP release ‘Matter Of Time’ is sick as fuck! It consists of five tracks, all of which are heavy and raw. They show a lot of passion and emotion, and get the points across. So many insane riffs and basslines, loud and fast drums, and the vocals are on point with the rawness and intensity.Continue Reading
