 “Toska” gathers those sparse cards previously thrown out and builds the first castle on them between existentialist lyrics, cinematic references... narrating the story of an Alice who becomes the protagonist in the discovery of herself along an inner journey.

 The peculiarity of Gomma... is the female voice of Ilaria, suspended between timid hints of spoken-word and dark laments.

GOMMA is a young band from Caserta whose debut album Toska has attracted early attention through its introspective lyrics, cinematic and literary references, and distinct female vocals. The album reflects an inner journey encapsulated in a brief 20-minute runtime and shows promise despite the band’s inexperience. The review emphasizes the band’s potential and expects further growth in future works. Listen to GOMMA's Toska and explore their unique blend of introspective indie and cinematic storytelling.

 Considered by many as their best record, their debut stands out from the classic offerings from Epitaph and Burning Hearts that dominated the nineties.

 The peculiarity of this album, both a curse and a blessing, are the countless tempo changes, which willingly disrupt the structures of individual songs.

Despite later releases losing some urgency, this debut remains a significant milestone. Discover the raw energy of Strike Anywhere’s debut album—listen now and experience a melodic hardcore classic!

 "It is an album at times wonderfully schizophrenic in holding together the two souls that are power-pop and post-hardcore."

 Sum 41 are a bit like that naughty student present in every class who gets into all sorts of trouble, perpetually punished and put behind the blackboard.

 What remains in the end is just another record. More than trust or purity, here nostalgia, curiosity, and boredom prevail.

Sum 41's 13 Voices marks a mature evolution from their punk revival roots, shaped by personal and lineup changes. The album delivers a vigorous, sometimes dark tone with standout tracks balancing slower, less impactful songs. Production remains clean and powerful despite the shift to an independent label.

 "Balancing between club party vibes (the title track) and reinterpretation of the green-white-red tradition, Cosmo’s second solo album sounds probably in line with what’s trending now, but it fails to awaken the necessary interest to be remembered long into the coming months."

 "A process of simplification and Italianization that could be chided as unconvincing."

Cosmo's second solo album 'L'ultima festa' blends electronic and Italian singer-songwriter styles with a modern club vibe. While it aligns with current Italian pop trends, it lacks originality and lasting impact. The album simplifies previous experimental approaches, making it more radio-friendly but less distinctive. Ultimately, it is a polished but forgettable effort that appeals to casual listeners more than dedicated fans. Discover Cosmo’s blend of electronic beats and Italian pop—listen to 'L'ultima festa' and decide if it’s your next favorite track!

 You lick your fingers as if it were Nutella on bread, but they are blood-red wounds.

 'Love Let Me Go' is not an album to overcome pain, it’s the cage made of pain, and its pages are only the iron of its impenetrable bars.

More Than Life's 'Love Let Me Go' is a deeply personal hardcore album that confronts pain and solitude with raw intensity. James Matthews delivers fervent vocals that evoke genuine emotion. The album challenges traditional song structure with its restless rhythms and heartfelt despair. It's not an easy listen but resonates powerfully with themes of heartbreak and renewal. The work stands out as a unique and moving musical catharsis. Dive into More Than Life's raw and heartfelt album 'Love Let Me Go'—experience hardcore music like never before.

 In the end, the songs in Revolution Radio answer present, straddling one, two, three traditions no longer virgin and rock.

 It seems the wall between me and Green Day has fallen.

The review reflects on personal memories tied to Green Day’s earlier work and welcomes Revolutionary Radio as a return to form.

Favorite tracks and singles are discussed, with minor criticism on a few songs. Overall, the album marks a positive reunion with the band after nearly a decade. Listen to Revolution Radio and rediscover Green Day’s dynamic punk rock energy today!

 "The dense lyrics of Cristiano Godano remain a constant in the Marlene universe."

 "The general idea is not of a banal album or one that has nothing to say, but it sounds at times convoluted and not immediately accessible."

The review analyzes Marlene Kuntz's 'Lunga Attesa' as a partial return to the band’s earlier style with dense lyrics by Cristiano Godano and some energetic tracks. However, the album suffers from overly long songs and uneven interest across tracks. While not a failure, it feels convoluted at times and struggles with accessibility. Highlights include 'La Noia' and 'Leda,' yet the overall experience is mixed. Discover Marlene Kuntz's evolving sound—listen to Lunga Attesa and explore its intense lyrics and powerful guitar work.

 The performance of the first 45 minutes disappoints fans and commentators alike.

 Zoli Teglas finally remembers to be the golden-throated striker capable of reaching remarkable ranges and making the difference when it comes to melodic hardcore.

The review critiques Ignite's album 'A War Against You' as a comeback with an uneven start, describing the first half as flat and lacking energy. The second half shows stronger moments led by vocalist Zoli Teglas, reviving the album's melodic hardcore spirit. Despite some redeeming tracks, the album falls short compared to previous releases like 'Our Darkest Days' and 'All Or Nothing.' The review concludes that while the album ultimately avoids failure, it underdelivers on expectations. Discover the highs and lows of Ignite’s ‘A War Against You’—listen now and judge the melodic hardcore comeback yourself!
