Toronto’s PUP are back with their third LP, which as the title suggests, sees frontman Stefan Babcock and the gang deal with dark life experiences by being able to laugh at yourself and get through them with a sense of community
Periphery manage to push their sound forward, building on their strengths in both engaging and exciting fashion.
“‘RKTKN#3’ pulls the listener into a nightmarish world, twisting and tumbling with chaotic riffs mixed with chilling tones”
“By combining their pop sensibilities with stylistic exploration, Simple Creatures have produced a commendable first outing.”
“‘You Are Ok’ offers a solid balance between light-hearted and mature, radio-friendly and thought-provoking cuts, that nicely suits where The Maine are in 2019”
“A captivating narrative which reveals itself with each listen… Free Throw sound content with where they’re at on ‘What’s Past Is Prologue'”
“Bringing emotion and philosophy into play with some brilliant lyrics, there’s a lot to love about The Alchemy’s debut LP”
“’Live In London’ serves as more of an expansion than a substitute… it shows a band moving forward with confidence and ambition”
“‘Wildheart Dreaming’ is an appreciative finale to the ‘HOTYH’ chapter of The Xcerts, albeit one that isn’t entirely necessary.”
“La Dispute have found a new way to present themselves… ‘Panorama’ is their sound in its purest form”
“For a debut EP, Follower more than show their potential… a strong first outing but with room to grow.”
“Despite improved songwriting and a wealth of great ideas, ‘Breathe In Colours’ falls short of the mark”
