Live Listen Erased

In 1984 Deep Purple would make a come back after a 9 year hiatus and found themselves in unknown territories for a new decade. On top of this the band members were only reuniting for the passion of the music and still hid some resentment for one another. All up it is a storm in a teacup but the band would still manage to write some anthemic songs for this album - the question is, how about the res...

It has been 53 years since MC5 released an album marking this release as the fourth longest gap between albums by any musician. MC5 were famous for being one of the first proto punk bands with their live debut release called Kick Out The Jams which was the name of the song most people would know by them but the big question is after 53 years how do the band sound?

When Green Day set out to record their new album in 2003 they didn't expect the master tapes to be stolen and an entire record lost to time but it was perhaps the greatest thing to happen. It would cause the band to do a hard restart rather than re-record the record and considering it was the turn of a new millennium with a change both in the music world and political scene it would serve as t...

If your like me you remember the song Sail from this musician and that's about it. Figures I would return after some 13 years to do a review on their latest album.

Well I think most know this group as the guys who performed a concert under the bridge in a skate park one day and that is certainly how I discovered the band. One moment I'm checking out a tik tok video and the next I'm playing their debut album for the 4th time in a row on the same day and what an intensely heavy record this one is. Tune in to hear my thoughts on their debut album. Druid...

I wasn't surprised to hear King Gizzard released another album (is it Wednesday already?) but more along the lines of what will it be this time. My introduction to this band was The Silver Cord, an album I considered as nothing but fodder and many fans would say either I'm not getting it or this was the worst entry to the band. Either way I have continued with this band and can say this re...

You know I appreciate a good Spotify suggestion and especially when its a band I've never heard of before. gives me the chance to approach their music with an open mind and while this music is so brutal and heavy that I may not appreciate it I can acknowledge that this is still much better than Falling In Reverse.

When I first heard this band it was 8 years ago from one of their songs when they were known as The Parlydium Project - that song was called Astral Liberation and it was an absolute banger.

When Good Things announced their line up for 2024 it was a return to form.
