Ten minutes in total, this follow up to last year's The Reson For Hardcore Vibes is an extension of the band's considerable live prescence: songs that are at once funny and pertinent trip along at an almost unbelievable pace, shedding wisdom and insanities as they go. Joe & The Shitboys - The Reson For Hardcore Vibes AgainĪ funny, pertinent and well-executed example of punk-and musical-originality, The Reson For Hardcore Vibes Again is the second 7" album from The Faroe Islands' Joe & The Shitboys. It might be just nine tracks long, short even into today’s streaming era, but they pack an awful lot into those nine.

On Seek Shelter, which evokes thoughts of everything from proto-punk to classic rock to Britpop, the five-piece produce a record that’s maybe less experimental than 2018’s Beyondless, but one full of earworms nevertheless.įrom the groovy, funky 'Vendetta' to the anthemic title track, Iceage further cement themselves as one of post-punk’s most innovative bands, and Seek Shelter is a real gem in the 2021 alternative rock canon.
(Cameron Sinclair Harris)Ĭopenhagen post-punks Iceage have continually evolved their sound over the last decade, moving away from post-hardcore into the sort of post-punk that’s been dominating the indie scene here in the UK and Ireland in recent years. Typhoons proved that Royal Blood are worth sticking with-they’re in it for the long haul. Like a breath of fresh air, Royal Blood ditch the blues for out-and-out disco, with nearly every track a floorfiller in its own right. However, the real magic of Typhoons is the juxtaposition between the lyrics and the music the heavy themes are balanced with some of the most fresh and energised rock you’ll hear in years. In a year defined by healing, these were particularly apt songs to hear, and these words may genuinely help those in need or in similar places. Lyrically, it is an examination of frontman Mike Kerr’s sobriety and battles with addiction (“Wake up every morning, almost surprised I survived” opens standout single ‘Limbo’). Like a mirrorball swinging into the hubris of 2021, Royal Blood’s third album Typhoons was a shot of glitter-clad energy that we all needed. The album release is merely a generous pun of what’s to come, with their September tour dates booked and sunnier days on the horizon, maybe Bull is already there in spirit. With a style that resists being weighed down by society’s seriousiousness or genre’s anal retentive restraints, Discover Effortless Living represents a stream of consciousness derived from their laidback personality. After having grown from York’s twisted roots only to be hand-picked by EMI Records years later, it's been a long time coming. (Jessie Atkinson)īull’s debut album Discover Effortless Living has sprouted from 2021’s unfertile soil just in time for spring. Then still deep in a UK lockdown, the record came as a sour candy on a dry tongue: its hits were numerous, its subject matter unsubtle and its medium an explosive hyper-pop melee.įans were perhaps disappointed to discover that many already-released tracks made its way onto the album, but who could be angry at 'Daisy', 'Deal With It' and 'Cry' for long? Besides, DEMIDEVIL did deliver some new icons in the form of 'Slumber Party'-a TikTok juggernaut-and the mad, explicit Avril Lavigne cover 'L8r Boi'. (Vicky Greer)ĭelayed again and again due to merchandise and vinyl issues, Ashnikko's debut album DEMIDEVIL finally landed in January. Juno is both a testament to Remi Wolf’s striking talent and an exciting promise of what is to come. It’s hard to imagine anyone who wouldn’t be captivated by her pure charisma and pop splendour. You don't want to hear a load of nonsense about how it went, do you? You just want our list of best albums.Įmbodying sheer pop mayhem that can’t be compared to any other artist, Wolf is radically reinventing the genre on her new LP, Juno.Īs a first full-length release, Remi Wolf has pulled off pop music that most artists couldn’t dream of.
