 It’s just a 'whatever': a march without head or tail with a panzer-like cadence driven by a massively pumped and caveman-like bass.

 A mix of sounds and influences blended together yet setting off on its own original path.

 The instinctive impetus of hardcore, the refinement of progressive, the almost perfect melodies, and the exaggeration of math hop around here and there in this 'Out of Africa' before being masterfully reorganized by Boothroyd’s creativity.

Triclops!'s debut album 'Out of Africa' impresses with its blend of post-hardcore aggression, progressive sophistication, and mathcore complexity. Drawing influences from bands like Mars Volta and Nomeansno, the quartet delivers a politically charged, musically intricate record. Bassist Larry Boothroyd adds jazz-inspired creativity throughout. Standout tracks showcase a mix of noise-prog, catchy melodies, and experimental vocals. Discover the intense and innovative sounds of Triclops!'s debut—listen to 'Out of Africa' now and experience progressive post-hardcore like never before!

 The most "freak" thing is definitely the unlikely name of this merry bunch of oddballs.

 "Three rather weak songs, nothing unheard of before, for a work that will probably be noticed only for the impressive name of the band in question."

The Psychedelic Freak Funk Punk Metal Jazz Rock Band’s Birthday EP delivers a blend of styles with a witty critique of genre labeling. Despite impressive ambition, the EP falls short musically with unremarkable vocals and familiar arrangements. The three tracks showcase elements of psychedelic, pop, and metal influences but overall lack memorability. The unique band name draws attention more than the music itself. A solid listen but not groundbreaking. Discover the curious sounds and unique style of The Psychedelic Freak Funk Punk Metal Jazz Rock Band in their Birthday EP!

 Scott Hutchinson’s timid and almost trembling singing... is never inclined to communicate an overwhelming joy.

Frightened Rabbit’s album The Midnight Organ Fight is a heartfelt compilation that mixes indie pop influences from various bands.

 Their offering... blatantly draws from the shoegaze of Lush and Slowdive and the dream pop melodies of Cocteau Twins.

 Manganiello’s mono-expressive and tragedy-tinged singing... risks becoming terribly tiresome due to the excessive length of the work.

Different Shade of Beauty is Tearwave's second album, acclaimed by some as a dream pop milestone but viewed here as a decent effort with familiar influences. Doug White’s layered guitar work and Jennifer Manganiello’s angelic vocals create atmospheric tracks, though the album’s length and vocal monotony lead to listener fatigue. Recommended mainly for fans of shoegaze and dream pop. Listen to Tearwave's Different Shade of Beauty and dive into atmospheric dream pop with a gothic twist.

 This well-balanced mix of psychedelia, noise, and hardcore can truly satisfy even the most demanding indie fans.

 Listening to this unstable creature means not only being disoriented by the eight minutes of psychedelic-noise hypnosis of 'Novena Without Faith'... but also much more.

Tracks range from psychedelic-noise hypnosis to hardcore fury, showcasing strong compositional skills of band founders Conrad Keely and Jason Reece.

 The cloudy dawn of an incredibly bright day metaphorically describes Thin Lizzy’s musical debut.

Phil Lynott’s poetic compositions shine intermittently, especially on tracks like 'Honesty is No Excuse.'
