Hum Of Hurt is another brilliant Converge album and shows yet another side of the band once again.

Inferno is a worthy addition to Boards of Canada’s wondrous back catalogue.

This is Stainless’ moment. Their time. One of the best hard‑rock debuts I’ve heard this year. Give them a thunderous round of applause. They’ve delivered a monster of an album to kick off the summer with a bang.

Garone isn’t backing down without a fight. OK, But Why? is here to stay, adding new conversations, new wonders, and new exotic perspectives. And thankfully, it keeps you guessing until the very end.

Ultimately, it is fascinating to witness this band continue to grow, gaining strength and confidence with each release. They proudly carry the Canadian prog‑rock flag, waving it forward from where the greats left off.

Trappes seems to have picked the exact guest artists that will do exactly that – keep her original ideas intact while bringing their own vision of her work on the ‘Requiem’ album.

There’s going to be much more to come from Harboured, this album’s got great songs and is full of surprises.

Ultimately, Blue Morpho stands as a strong and imaginative follow‑up, offering a vivid and electrifying interpretation of modern folk‑electronic fusion.

Overall, this is an intriguing collection and there’s clearly a lot of ideas flowing so future albums are worth watching out for.

An album which sees DEAFKIDS start and ends the party with their intense but inclusive sonic assault and it sounds utterly glorious.

This is one of the most explosive and enduring live blues-rock albums ever recorded — an essential addition to any rock collection.

Anderson neither attempts to master new musical systems or instruments nor does she simply transpose everything over to her more usual style. She comes to the records as something to learn from.

Fire On The Hill is a wondrous little cracker of an album with some beautiful arrangements and stunning melodies.

Not for them the gnarled and groove-ridden guitars, but instead a massed wall of sound that hits you like a sledgehammer.
