BABYMETAL “METAL FORTH” Album Review
METAL FORTH is BABYMETAL’s way of pushing metal forward while showcasing the many forms it can take today. The collaborations are the album’s heartbeat, each drawn from bands they’ve toured with over the years. It’s wholesome to see those connections blossom from tour friendships into fully formed tracks, becoming the driving force behind one of BABYMETAL’s most ambitious records yet.

Rise Against “Ricochet” Album Review
Rise Against’s Ricochet has perhaps arrived at the most crucial time. For over a quarter century the Chicago punk quartet have remained a rebellious stronghold in pop culture, and with nine studio albums to their name, it seems they’re on track to keep it up.

Spacey Jane “If That Makes Sense” Album Review
If That Makes Sense is a slight departure from Spacey Jane’s usual brand of frenetic indie rock - it’s a bit slower in overall tempo, there’s more space in the songs. It lends well to the loose thread of confronting one’s past, and all the emotion that comes with that.
