Gouge Away – Consider 7” (Deathwish Inc.)
Consider is one of a couple of seven-inches that sneaked out under the radar. At least, that was the case for me in this situation. Sometimes it’s hard to keep track of every single release on a hardcore punk scene, but better late than never. Gouge Away paved the way for themselves through dozen of…

Come The Spring – Echoes CD (Engineer Records)
Echoes is a third album by Brighton-based alt-rockers Come The Spring, but I would not necessarily classify them as an alternative rock band, because there’s certainly more than meets the eye. Sure, they contain all the possible qualities of a classic alternative band, but for me, they’re more into emo/indie group sound than the remaining…

Amalia Bloom – Maiden Voyage CD (Engineer Records)
Amalia Bloom originates from Vicenza, and Maiden Voyage is one of their latest offerings to the broader audience. This Italian emotive post-hardcore quintet has been active for a while, paving their way to the top with a profoundly melodic, but yet delicate approach to the genre. The group worked hard since the formation at the…

Sleave – Don’t Expect Anything CD (Engineer Records)
There’s something about groups who merge alternative with melodic punk rock music. The vast portion of these groups incorporates exact measurements of each ingredient to highlight particular moments in their music, but eventually, these examinations grow into something much monolithic. Sleave is one of the beforementioned bands that possess the common sense and knowledge about…
