Barrabus – Barrabus (Review)
This is the debut album from UK electro rockers Barrabus.
Barrabus play an individual style of enhanced rock that sees their delivery sit somewhere between that of Faith No More, Rabies Caste, Every Time I Die, and Dead Kennedys. It’s a somewhat eclectic mix that actually comes together in a highly cohesive manner across the album. Continue reading “Barrabus – Barrabus (Review)”

This is the latest release from Blackbird Hill, a rock band from France.
I decided to listen to this purely on the band’s name and the album cover. Of course, if after pressing play for the first time I didn’t like what I heard, it never would have made it to the review stage, but I did, and it did. Continue reading “Blackbird Hill – Midday Moonlight (Review)”
