Back catalogue: All genres

Review: Literally decades long overdue, Volume 3 marks the first new album from Queens, New York hardcore punk heroes Reagan Youth since 1990, following on from their iconic 1984 debut EP Youth Anthems For The New Order, later re-released as Volume 1 with additional bonus tracks, whilst the second volume would be distributed upon the band's initial break up. Inspired by the tumultuous life and crafted as tribute to original vocalist Dave Rubinstein (better known as Dave Insurgent), who tragically committed suicide in 1993 following the death of his mother and murder of his girlfriend Tiffany Bresciani whilst the pair battled severe heroin addiction, the material is further shrouded in misfortune due to the recent death in 2024 of founding guitarist Paul Bakija, who served as primary songwriter working tirelessly on the album for years. Hard-hitting, breakneck paced tracks with zero sign of aging or slowing down, new vocalist Madame St. Beatrice delivers snarling accounts combining rage and earnest concern to a project that many thought would never see the light of day and sadly, literally wouldn't until all original members involved had shifted off this mortal coil.

Review: Rosetta Stone's latest studio album, Under The Weather, continues their legacy as gothic rock pioneers. Returning with their signature dark romance, the album features chiming guitars, lush keyboards, and a hint of sinister nostalgia. Karl North, the band's key figure, guides this new release with a refined blend of their classic sound and modern touches. Since their 2020 comeback with Cryptology, fans have eagerly awaited new material, and Under The Weather promises to exceed expectations. This album is set to impress longtime followers and new listeners both with its evocative melodies and hauntingly atmospheric tracks. Available on coloured vinyl, it's ideal for collectors and fans of the gothic rock genre.
