Balancing the carefully curated caress of soft and soulful melody and harmony against the gravelly growl and raging aggression of the grungy guitar and punk chant choruses, Windward manage to release a set of songs that defy genre with a truly unique and captivating sound. While not technically an EP we have decided to review…

With its shaking quaking bass and juddering jangle of the guitar riff this track weaves a tasty tune that grooves underfoot of the weighted poetic lyricism. The song has this bubbling effervescence that creates this fizzy fuzzy ecstasy to every note. It is at odds with the tone and content of the words, but the…

With a groove so chunky and saucy it’ll leave you salivating, Winston Surfshirt deliver a falsetto fused banger with beast mode bars cooked to perfection in the centre. Strutting onto your speakers with the swaggering bass the synthy sound soon soaks the listener in feel good vibrations. The six piece collective dazzle on the beat…

Fuzzed out guitars, thunderous drums, sneering snarling vocals, and keenly sharpened choruses that hook into your flesh and won’t let go. Sedentary Nomads is monstrous in volume, ferocious in passionate performance, and completely feral in stomp along dancebility. There are two very different sides to the band; one is soft and subtle while the other…

Filthier than rutting in the mud with your mates sister, Chie & King Bracket serve up crunchy snail shell underfoot beats and slime soaked lyrics and flow.

Dredged up straight from the swamp, “Ready” smacks you round the ears with a thunderous sludgy slap. The bubbling fuzzy fizzy bass and stadium boom, boom, clap, of the drums set the mood perfectly during the intro. When the vocals kick in they have that passionate and cool classic rock swagger. They bounce back off…

Fuzzy guitars growl out a feral and ferocious noise with a slightly psychedelic twist. While the female gang vocals snarl a sharp and snappy message over the top. We reviewed ‘Peach‘ by Bad Static a while back, with ‘Freak’ the band continue to punch out the same poetic punk sound with just as much meaning…

The loudest band in New York quieten the decibels for just long enough to show off the more emotive and soulful sound that beats its heartbeat through their signature distorted fuzz. ‘Playing The Part‘ shows off a softer and much sweeter side of the band than any we’ve seen before. It sits pretty in the…
