Humanfly have always had a progressive streak in their musical armoury. That much is for certain. Somewhere between 2010’s impressive 'Darker Later' and their new record, 'Awesome Science', however the quartet’s lens has clearly shifted focus somewhat. 'Darker Later' was an oppressive, suffocatingly heavy record reliant on the immense power of the riff. 'Awesome Science', on the other hand, finds its brilliance in the dynamic plains the group traverse more thoroughly here than ever before.

In the style of Kvelertak come Man the Machetes, another bunch of rowdy Norwegians who come armed with more tunes than is healthy for debut albums and, so I have been told, dynamite live shows. In just a couple of years the quintet have already started to make waves, having already played major festivals and gained some sought after radio airplay in their home nation.

The Pigeon Detectives really are victims of the modern music trends. They were absolutely EVERYWHERE just five short years ago and now, nothing. It’s a shame really because, despite being not entirely ground-breaking, they always wrote catchy enough indie-rock anthems that would please a crowd at a gig. However, upon seeing what the Arctic Monkeys have gotten up to, still selling records despite a drop off in the guitar genre, it now seems like they have decided to all but copy their sound.

“A post-apocalyptic mash-up of meticulous orchestration, electronic manipulation and eccentric experimentation”. This is just one way The Burning of Rome have been described. Music creator Adam Traub grew up in San Diego, CA and at age 15 he was already playing guitar in the punk band Nobody’s Hero, signed to Arista Records. It all came to a halt when he was diagnosed with a rare muscular disorder in both legs. He was thrown into a world of medical chaos, 7 surgeries and 6 titanium bolts later, Traub was faced with a long gruelling recovery. During that time he would play an old upright piano and would hobble over to figure out Beatles songs. Beatles eventually turned to Chopin. Chopin eventually turned into Thelonious Monk. And Thelonious eventually turned into The Burning of Rome.
