|RELEASE OF THE WEEK|
Greyhaven
It takes a lot for a band to utterly transcend their beginnings. We wonder what fresh-faced 2013 Greyhaven would make of their current-day selves. The Louisville quartet almost didn’t make it to their second album; Cult America holds up as a bleeding-raw artefact of a young band going hell-for-leather and almost running themselves into the ground, with half the band quitting in the lead-up to successor Empty Black. That album did more than just establish them; it gave them stability, as vocalist Brent Mills and bassist Johnny Muensch were joined by guitarist Nick Spencer and drummer Ethan Spray.
|damiano David|
Damiano David showcases the importance of steering away from the path that was laid out for you at London’s Roundhouse through a show for most ages, warning; there will be swearing.
|Joy Crookes|
Having let go of perfectionism, Juniper is Joy Crookes’ most raw, fearless and sonically adventurous work to date.
