Punchline
Punchline Just Say Yes [3/5]
Punchline punctuate their newfound freedom with Just Say Yes, the band’s first album in their post-Fueled By Ramen era and first self-released effort since 2002’s The Rewind EP.

Okkervil River The Stand Ins [4/5]

New England’s newest metal golden boys begin Overcome with a ferocious air of foreboding and impending doom. That such aural aggression could segue into a melody-drenched, nicely sung chorus is a feat fit only for the most fearless of metal musicians. All That Remains maintain the progression demonstrated on 2006’s...
Mogwai
Mogwai The Hawk Is Howling [4/5]
Whether you love or hate Mogwai’s brand of protracted instrumental prog-trance, the Glasgow, Scotland, quintet have set the bar by which all other cine-strumental acts have been measured against during the past decade. The Hawk Is Howling, the band’s sixth album and first since 2006’s triumphant Mr. Beast,...
