Rock Sound 100% Volume: 174
One of the best compilations I’ve heard in a long while – Volume 174 delivers the goods superbly. True stand0ut acts include Arcane Roots, Heights, Anacondas, Restorations, Cry Havoc, Golden Tanks, The American Scene and Nai Harvest, but really, you can’t go wrong with checking out every damn band here, because you’re bound to find ...
Rock Sound 100% Volume: 173
A good mix of bands this month alongside the usual avalanche of mediocrity and nonsensical shouting. Caravels, Off With Their Heads, Hey Vanity, Let's Talk Daggers, Thy Art Is Murder and Hold The Fight are all worthy of your attention and I suggest you check them out immediately. THANKS!...
Rock Sound CD 100% Volume: 172
Great selection of tracks this month. Kvelertak return, also Megachurch are my new favourite band, plus Lost Society are comedy gold, Turbogeist - true punx and Fights and Fires, Next Stop Atlanta, Eager Teeth and Coastline all completely boss. BEERS TO YOU GUYS!...
Rock Sound 100% Volume: 171
It’s turbo-riffage beatdown this month, as nearly all the bands on number 171, play fast and loud. Yay! Funeral For a Friend – Best Friends and Hospital Beds The rushing intensity of ‘Best Friends and Hospital Beds’ is miles away from what you perhaps previously know about this Welsh quintet. Embracing a more Boysetsfire-post ...
Rock Sound 100% Volume: 168
So here’s some music or something. Motionless In White – Devil’s Night ‘One of the hottest metal bands of the year’ apparently. Looking like extras from Sleepy Hollow meets Edward Scissorhands; Motionless In White are fairly intricate with their metal-meets-keyboard racket, but it’s pretty hollow sounding. The bass is the best part of this; it’s ...
Rock Sound 100% Volume: 166
Condensed version of this month’s CD: buy We Are The Ocean, Title Fight, Monuments, Minus The Bear, Death Letters, House Vs Hurricane and Trapper Schoepp and the Shades. - We Are The Ocean – Story of a Modern Child Now reduced to a four-piece, (vocalist Dan left in June) We Are The Ocean, who seem ...
Rock Sound 100% Volume CD: 163
Latitudes, Ancients, Feed The Rhino, Future of the Left, Glass Cloud and Turbonegro are all worth your attention this month. If you don’t like it, Ice Cube will shout at you for 10 minutes or something. - The King Blues Feat Jason Butler – Can’t Bring Me Down The inexplicable popularity of The King Blues ...
Rock Sound 100% Volume CD: 162
Loads of metal this month, loads. Miss May I – Hey Mister The drumming on this is particularly sick. It’s an unremitting sledgehammer beatdown. Absolutely storming – sadly let down by the lacklustre guitars, the tune is almost non-existent, barely a hook to keep you wanting to continue listening. Yes, it’s heavy, there’s no denying ...
Rock Sound Download 100 Volume: 161
Actually not a CD, but a download this time. Apparently, at Rock Sound HQ they’re trying something new by giving away the compilation through soundcloud. Nice idea, that way anyone who bothers to read these knows what I’ve had to put myself through in some cases and what I’ve really enjoyed in others. I do ...
Rock Sound CD 100% Volume: 160
One of the best things about the new Rock Sound mag is the picture of Fieldy, who seems to have arms bigger than my body (this could be due to camera angles and not the fact he’s recently got two tickets to the gun show). He’s also going pretty grey (well, his beard is). Still ...
