"Dream theater are back! The best of both worlds here; their patented intricacy and technically brilliant musicianship on full display, but without being a two hour epic it's still more digestible. LaBrie's voice is better than it has been in a while as well. Those who liked Awake will likely love..."  [+]  Reply

"Deerhunter always explores a new sound with each release. This time, it feels a lot more baroque pop and somewhat psychedelic. There's probably some influences from Tame Impala's "Lonerism" and Flaming Lips' "The Soft Bulletin." It all feels very Deerhunter nonetheless. There's a lot going on in ..."  [+]  Reply

"Are you thinking of escaping the invasion of the Japanese music scene ? You're wrong ... After Ajate, Videotapemusic, CHAI and Minyo Crusaders, here's another amazing discovery coming from the land of the Rising Sun and that will kick you in the ass. She are called おとぼけビ~バ~ (Otoboke Beaver) and o..."  [+]  Reply

"20 fucking years. Two decades of American Football's eponymous debut album pioneered the mid-west emo. AF developed a melancholic style backed up by arpeggios and a melodic play with a technicity close to math-rock. The band led by Mike Kinsella exploded in 1999 after this magnificent first recor..."  [+]  Reply

"Girl Band are the sort of band for which the term “reinvention of the guitar” seems to have been born for. There is some serious guitar-abuse that harks back to the more out-there noise-outs of Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine in extremis and then some. I can’t make out a word Dara is singing ..."  [+]  Reply

"Anger, frustration, love, dislocation, suicide, death. These are just a few of the subjects dealt with by this relatively new band on their debut album. The Murder Capital are Irish - this is important. James McGovern sings with an Irish accent and his thick brogue smears a softness and poeticism..."  [+]  Reply
