Album Review: Trophy Eyes – The American Dream

Trophy Eyes release their third album the worldly superior ‘The American Dream’. First track ‘Autumn’ is stitched together like a life quilt with a cocktail of primary Punk-Pop colours. It’s not a firework opening but there’s enough to make you...

Single Review: Over My Head – Hypothetically

London Pop-Punks Over My Head release the light, airy and annoyingly catchy single ‘Hypothetically’. The Pop-Punk genre is being constantly watered down and swimming closer to the Pop shore rather than sailing the Punk seas. However when it sounds this...
