The Dubstep powerhouse returns with his first full-length album in 9 years — I never would’ve guessed I’d be reviewing a Skrillex album in 2023. If you rewind back to just over 10 years ago, Sonny Moore dominated the music scene during the dubstep era of the 2010s. His rise in the industry was rather quick and swift, I can remember how engulfed…

A sleeper hit from 2022 that I wished had listened to sooner — If you’ve been endlessly doomscrolling TikTok as I have, chances are you may have stumbled across a snippet of a Bad Omens song, or maybe a clip from their ongoing tour on the For You Page.

A final farewell from hip-hop’s favourite boyband — The name Brockhampton used to ring bells 5 years ago. When the self-proclaimed boy band drew significant attention to themselves in 2017 with their Saturation album series, they ushered in a new wave of hip-hop. Their DIY style and brotherly camaraderie were quite similar to groups before them like Odd…

A look at the penultimate ending to The Forever Story — After months of speculation and encouragement from J.I.D. himself, the track “2007” finally made its official release on streaming platforms earlier this month. The song was originally shared exclusively to YouTube, sample clearances being the major issue as to why the song couldn’t be included in J.I.D.’s latest album The…

A lush, cinematic experience quite like nothing the band has put out before — Just over 4 years ago, the Arctic Monkeys ushered in a new era in 2018’s Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino.

An album filled with lust, contemplation, and a whole new sound for the boys from Sheffield — The Arctic Monkeys are set to make their return on October 21st with their 7th studio album The Car. In anticipation, I felt it was timely to take a look back at their 2013 offering AM. Aside from its connection to the Tumblr era circa 2014, it carried a handful…

The metal titans return with their 7th studio album — With an album title like The End, So Far, you’d think that this would be a final farewell from the masked madmen from Iowa. Make no mistake, Slipknot’s new album is far from the end, but rather the start of something new. While in the literal sense as this is…
