![]() CLT DRP have great things ahead of them, between this and previous single ‘New Boy’, September can’t come soon enough to experience what they have in store for their fans. Vocalist Annie Dorrett’s powerful, personal lyricism and vocal performances still act as the beating heart and driving force of the bands ethos, with the instrumentals formed spectacularly around her vocal passages. Still featuring their unique signature sound of one-man guitar drive synth engine Scott Reynolds and Daphne Koskeridou’s hypnotising drum grooves, the band’s instrumentals feel decidedly poppier than they have so far, especially when the beat breaks half-way through for a tremolo synth driven dance beat. Fortunately, now we not only have news, but the title track of the album in the form of the four-minute dance floor destroyer ‘Nothing Clever, Just Feelings’. Having just finished off their first headline tour of the UK, anticipation for any news on their follow up to their outstanding 2020 debut album Without The Eyes was starting to reach a fever pitch. – Harry Shiels CLT DRP – Nothing Clever, Just Feelings ‘Already There’ is well worth anyone’s time who want something a little different with their desert-riffs, they’ve got the live presence, they’ve got the singles, now we can only wait patiently for word on the debut album that will inevitably level buildings across the country. ![]() Ellie Godwin’s vocals are unique as ever and really elevate the band to feel different from their contemporaries, helping with the flowing dynamic energy of the instrumentals that slowly build to a noise ravaged guitar solo to close the song. At just over two-and-a-half minutes, its a short and sweet release that expresses a different side to the band, feeling more deliberate and groove focussed. New single ‘Already There’ takes things in a slightly different direction, sticking to a sleazy hard rock tempo for maximum boot stomping riffs, really showcasing their desert-rock and noise influences on their sleeves. ![]() – Will Marshall Peach – Already Thereīristol quartet PEACH have quickly been generating a buzz about themselves on the underground scene, helped in large part with prior singles ‘Bad Touch’ and ‘I’m Scared’ as well as their unreasonably powerful live presence. If you love death metal and you don’t love them already – Celestial Sanctuary are your new favourite UK death metal band that aren’t called Bolt Thrower. There’s squealing pinch harmonics, disgusting guttural roars and a mid-paced, churning groove that demands neck movement. It’s as death metal as it gets, opening with pounding snare and chainsaw guitars before a furious, twin-lead riff caves in skulls. ‘Biomineralization (Cell Death)’ is as metal as as it sounds, being themed around a dystopian world where extracting the iron and copper from blood makes the best weaponry and armour around and, in the band’s words, “the usual apocalyptic shit ensues”. The New Wave of British Death Metal continues in earnest, with flagbearers (and the band that coined the term) Celestial Sanctuary returning with the first single from their hotly-anticipated second album. – Tom Bruce Celestial Sanctuary – Biomineralization (Cell Death) The repeated line “It’s not a lone wolf it’s the whole damn pack/it’s not a bad apple it’s the whole damn tree” encapsulates the track’s message so elegantly, calling out men who claim to be feminists but whose actions prove them to be hypocrites. Incorporating both riotous guitar riffs and hard-hitting electronic influences, Dream Nails both reinvent and refine their sound effortlessly, confidently storming back in to hold self-identifying queer allies accountable while sharing their own experiences being harassed by “good guys”. Three years on from their ferocious debut album, British DIY punk collective Dream Nails are back to point fingers and tear down fake allies. Laying down some disgusting riffs and beatdowns, whilst also showing the songwriting versatility they’ve honed over the years, the band have proven that they are still on top of their game and the scene in general. Keeping things exciting, a thumping kick drum ties the two soundscapes together in furious harmony, all other sound dropping out after a call-out line that only a hardcore band could get away with. If ‘Deep in the Willow’ is the nuclear bomb, ‘Everything is Quiet Now’ is the post-apocalyptic wasteland that follows. Knocked Loose is back and firing on all cylinders with two blistering new singles dropped with little warning. Knocked Loose – Deep in the Willow / Everything is Quiet Now
