If I like an album, I’ll tell you. If I really like an album I’ll tell you again. So consider yourself told and told again, but don’t just take my word for it, get the beautiful creation that is Talon of the Hawk, some of the songs will make you laugh and some will make you cry, but you really won’t be disappointed.

You'll want to hear it all again. And that is that! By Geoff Topley

This week, London electronic music producer Zomby is dropping his latest full-length album, With Love. It'll be on 4AD, and features over thirty tracks that span two discs. As the track "Overdose" shows, this guy is really working to diversity his sound, trying his hand at some very atomspheric, textured, and boom-y breakbeat electronica. Enjoy!

Here we have a band not afraid to experiment with all manner of sounds, rhythms and out-there melodies. - By Geoff Topley

Perhaps one of the most exciting things about next week's Glastonbury Festival is Arctic Monkeys' return to the pyramid stage, six years and two albums after their controversial headline slot back in 2007. A lot has changed since then (other than Alex Turner's hair), and the four piece have come a long way since their breakthrough nearly 10 years ago, adding deeper, more surprising aspects to their sound with each release. Although material has been sparse in the last year, recent singles 'R U Mine' and 'Evil Twin' would indicate Arctic's are seeking a heavier direction [...]

With the recent scary news of Kanye West encouraging Will Smith to get back in the studio, I think it’s evident now more than ever that pop music is in desperate need of a savior. And apparently Kanye thinks that he can fill this role because rumors abound that he will he name his latest album Yeezus.  Please, please someone stop him before he crucifies himself on stage like GG Allin threatened to do so for years. Well before Kanye rises from the dead, there are a few bands that are lining up for the job and one [...]

"Despite his struggling-artist-who-got-a-lu cky-break back story and the fact that, yes, he is a Grade 7 piano player, the only thing Odell can really claim to represent is commercial pop’s ever-evolving attempt to relieve us of our cash..." Tom Odell  |  Long Way Down Winning the BRITs’ Critics’ Choice Award is a bit like having your mum tell you that you look nice. It’s sweet and a compliment of sorts but no one ever became a pioneer of the musical avant-garde because their mum thought it brought out their eyes. Just looking at the list of previous [...]

By Richard Wink June 19, 2013 My guilty love of the Benny Blanco -produced ‘Don't Trust Me’, ‘My First Kiss’ and ‘Starstrukk’ (featuring Katy Perry ) encouraged me to take a punt and review 3OH!3’s Omens . In terms of pop relevance, likely the duo’s time has passed - but it seems that Nathaniel Motte and Sean Foreman are happy to keep the ride going with album number - and I couldn’t actually believe this, but this is album four - and that is, quite [...]

Destroying the veil of ‘pop punk’ they have somehow been labelled with, Sheena and Alex’s vocals bounce off the energetic drumming and crunchy guitar riffs to create something truly different.

This is an album those of us who are thrash aficionados will enjoy for a long time. - By Justin Petrick

By Richard Wink June 19, 2013 The last ten years has seen the conscious cool of the Ed Banger roster co-opted by a variety of juggernaut dance DJs that currently make millions pressing buttons in front of giant HD screens. They’ve been an influential bunch alright, but ten years is a lifetime in Dance music. Is this latest compilation thanks for the memories, or the sound of a mighty force still yet to take over? Though there are some choice sun-setters and sun-loungers ( Krazy Baldhead [...]

The Crowning Horror is the perfect polyamorous blended relationship of black metal, punk, and melodic speed metal. - By Val LittleJohn

Richie is back in Ibiza for another season of his highly successful residency Enter at Space. Enter has one of the slickest marketing campaigns on the island, we just love that black dot, so simple, so effective. We were raving at Used + Abused at Ushuaia last week and the Enter promo team were out in force adorning clubbers with black dot tattoo’s – they looked so good we were actually considering getting a real one and made sure not to wash it off for a good few days (we were showering though we promise). So, it’s back on Thursday [...]

These Monsters don’t re-invent the wheel on new release Heroic Dose, but will still please fans of heavy rock and post-hardcore/punk. - By Sander van den Driesche

On August 13, John Mayer will release his new album, Paradise Valley. The set, Mayer’s sixth studio album, is the follow-up to 2012′s Born and Raised. Mayer just released Paradise Valley’s first single, “Paper Doll.” The lyric video features an awe-inspiring Prancercise routine by Joanna Rohrback. Watch it below:

Alright, an album I can dig in or space out to! Tumbleweed Dealer has brought a fantastic set of trippy instrumentals to the plate following their 2012 release, the Death Rides Southward EP. Featuring members of The Last Felony and Dopethrone, these guys live up to their pedigree. My personal favorite “stoner” stylings are mid-tempo groovy, jammed out numbers filled with heavy riffs and spaced out psychedelia. Well...yes, Tumbleweed Dealer deliver in spades. I’ll come clean, I have seen their name come up on the other blogs and online stoner community but [...]
