It has been six years since Icelandic indie-folk outfit Of Monsters and Men have released a full studio album, and the band have returned with their most introspective and sonically polished work to date.
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.
Thrice. Album 12. What a journey it’s been, and thankfully the post-hardcore stalwarts seem to have a hell of a lot left to give.
Celebrating nearly ten years of releasing music, Dodie’s new album is a lesson in growth and self acceptance.
James Morrison’s striking return to the music scene with Fight Another Day is not just welcome – it feels like it has arrived right on time.
Having let go of perfectionism, Juniper is Joy Crookes’ most raw, fearless and sonically adventurous work to date.
Vivid and vulnerable, Eden Rain’s new EP ‘Can I Come Too’ is the release of choice for all those looking to get up in their feelings this Autumn.
Irish rockers Sprints are back with a mosh-pit ready album that suits the prolific tourers who just keep on getting better and better – asking – half-jokingly, “Is Karla Jesus?” and based on All That is Over - the answer may well be yes.

Live
“Let’s blow the roof off!” exclaimed The Kooks frontman Luke Pritchard last Saturday as the British indie heroes took over London’s O2 Arena.
Self Esteem gives us an insight to what a rebellious night out would be in Gilead on your average Thursday in a way that’s daring, bold and has something to say at Brixton Academy – complete with stellar support from Nadine Shah and Moonchild Sanelly.
Ethel Cain takes to the stage at night two of the London leg of her tour at Hammersmith Apollo for a rejection of the typical pop show in favour of avant-garde southern gothic experience that lends itself to excellent production value and makes the most out of her Willoughby record.
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.
Parcels light up OVO Wembley Arena for an all-singing, all-dancing set that overcomes some tough competition from their rowdier neighbours as they make the night their own.
A sold-out room, a surprise guest, and Black British Music brought to life: Jim Legxacy’s rise is undeniable.

Flyte deliver a stunning, emotive set, two years on from their last Liverpool performance, once again proving themselves master songwriters.

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.
