Okay so we all kind of thought Royal Blood would hit a sophomore slump, there was just way too much hype on their debut and in fairness it was fucking excellent, which is why it's so nice to be proven wrong for once. 10 slabs of searing rock in 35 minutes, just what the doctor ordered, there's almost too many varieties of vinyl to choose from, get one of the fancy ones, treat yourself.
Single / EP No. 32 (HMLTD - Satan, Luella and I / Kinkaku-ji 7")
Wow, i really liked this band's debut 7" 'Stained' but this is a real step forward, bringing to mind bands like The Veils and Strangelove (especially the vocals) and with so much going on, soaring choiresque vocals over crooned vocals leading into a massive chorus, this is amazing stuff indeed.
Album No. 31 (Buildings - You Are Not One Of Us)
Buildings are here and they're taking no fucking prisoners, having already crafted a masterpiece in 2011's 'Melt Cry Sleep' they're back with 12 more slabs of brutal noise rock, imagine Foo Fighters 'Wattershed' being jammed on by a Jesus Lizard/Shellac supergroup and you're somewhere close to the opening track, it's just glorious fucked up noise. You can have plain black or white with black splatter.
Single / EP No. 31 (Pale Lips - Should've Known Better! 7")
'Don't Take Your Switchblade To New York' good advice on the first song from this canuck garagypowerpoppy four pieces new 7", backed by the equally thrilling 'Old Flame' Pale Lips have picked up perfectly where last years 'Wanna Be Bad' LP left off, available in purple and black.
