With Desert Rock, one would be forgiven if your mind jumped straight to the 90’s and the iconic sounds spawned from the Palm Desert area. Kyuss, Fu Manchu and Yawning Man are all bands who spring to mind and the… Continue Reading →

Anti-Clone – Human (S/R)

This nu-apocalyptic metal crew has, as they put it, come a long way since the Axe and Cleaver in Boston, Lincolnshire over 10 years ago. Doing time in pubs and clubs is character-building and helps to develop all bands, so… Continue Reading →
