Rob Lynch - All These Nights In Bars Will Somehow Save My Soul
Our mate Rob Lynch has had quite a year, and this week finally sees the release of his long-overdue debut album. These are our thoughts.
Amy Bangs
Seahaven - Reverie Lagoon: Music For Escapism Only
"Seahaven have taken a really bold step in defining their sound and creating a genuinely cohesive, start-to-finish album."
I Am The Avalanche - Wolverines
"This record could slot into any punk rock fan’s record collection in the last 15 years and get worn out"
Into It. Over It. - Intersections
Evan Weiss' second ‘real’ album is confident, reassured and focused.
Red City Radio - Titles
"If your fists aren't in the air by the third track, you don't deserve hands."
A Skylit Drive - Rise
Standing out less, but all the better for it...
The Saddest Landscape - Exit Wounded
The most accessible assault of emotion yet from The Saddest Landscape...

"Ear-splittingly, satisfyingly heavy."
The Saddest Landscape - After The Lights
This one's a real rollercoaster of emotion...
The Menzingers - On The Impossible Past
Zzzzzzzzzing!
Wavelets - Athaletics
More goodness from the Tiny Engines shed...
Broadway Calls - Toxic Kids
Stop-gaps aren't always this good...
Saves The Day - Daybreak
Our verdict on the final chapter of STD's three-album concept release...
Madina Lake - World War III
They're back from near-tragedy with album number three...
