Bullet for My Valentine - Scream Aim Fire - Album Review

Wales is not a country known more for its opera singers and cheesy sixties crooners than its metal bands but Bullet For My Valentine seem to be the exception to the rule.

The band have just released their second album Scream Aim Fire. The eponymous title track is a good start, lots of shredding guitars, hectic drumming and vocals you can headbang to. The mood of the album changes slightly with Hearts Burn into Fire - it could almost be classed as a power ballad if it were a little bit cheesier. End of Days is a favourite of mine and could possibly be a future single.

Sons and Daughters - This Gift - Album Review

Sons and Daughters - This Gift - Album Review

This Gift is Glaswegian Sons and Daughters third album, which has been produced by ex-Suede’s Bernard Butler. Is this enough to warrant it a success?

Opening song Gilt Complex is a feisty stomper of a tune, whilst Rebel with the Ghost shows off Adele Bethel’s beautiful voice.

House in my Head should be commended for it’s loudness - the guitar riff at the start is almost enough to make you fall off your chair. Most current single Darling with its sleazy guitar riff and angelic vocals may sound like a contradiction in terms but it works incredibly well.

British Sea Power - Do You Like Rock Music - Album Review

British Sea Power - Do You Like Rock Music - Album Review

Do you like rock music? British Sea Power certainly do. The Brighton foursome have released their third album, but is it any good?

Similar to their last two albums, the band have produced a quirky album which is easy to get into and has an almost ethereal sound to it. Current single Waving Flags is a particular standpoint, with its hypnotic drum beats, soothiing vocals and well-thought out lyrics. Lights out for Darker Skies is a rocking track with loud shredding guitars, whilst Atom bounces around madly and is probably the most lively song on the album.
