Pale Waves is a promising young band coming from the UK, on the label Dirty Hit with The 1975, a band they sound very close to. They released the tracks There's A Honey and Television Romance last year, and toured extensively with The 1975. This recognition made it so they were featured and almost all of the UK sound of 2018 lists, and were even nominated for an NME award. New Year's Eve also came out last year, which was supposed to be the first single for a four track EP of the same name. Then My Obsession and this son, The Tide, came, out, and they swelled it to four tracks and changed the name to All The Things I Never Said EP. The song has a pretty good riff, with well done interplay between the lead and rhythm guitars, much like New Year's Eve. It builds up to a well done verse that breaks down to just drums and bass. The able-bodied vocals from Heather Baron-Gracie, which move it to the guitar backed chorus, are yearning and have a pretty good rhythm, flipping bet...

Finally, more music from The wombats as consolation for their poorly timed tour! Beautiful People Will Ruin Your Life is set to come out this friday, and was preceded by the two pretty good singles Lemon To A Knife Fight and Cheetah Tongue, and the excellent turn. As you may know, they're first and third albums show a marked difference, but they've shown with all the singles so far that they have combined them- the raw guitar riffs of the first with the synthes and electronic drums of the third. This one is similar to the last couple singles, but the mixture of heavily filtered guitars and backing vocals of the first part sounds heavily like a holdout from Glitterbug (their third album). After the basic Glitterbug intro, a good, hard guitar line backs the vaguely psychedelic lyrics that seem to the emerging pattern for BPWRYL. The chorus feels a bit like they wrote it awhile ago but never really finished, and doesn't feel fully developed. They were going in a good direct...

Doubt- Joywave The Tide- Pale Waves I Found Out- The Pigeon Detectives I'm Not Sorry- The Pigeon Detectives You're Just No Good For Me- The Pigeon Detectives I'm Not The One- The Pigeon Detectives I just started listening to The Pigeon Detectives and they're pretty good- like The Wombats covering The Strokes.

Let me just say up front: I don't like Thirty Seconds To Mars very much. They are a bit too loud for the their relatively low artistry and meaning, with some just plain ugly shouts. The instrumentals are often pretty good but too mixed up and confused. I also don't really like Jared Leto's proto- messiah complex- he acts too much like he's some sort of god. Their next and fifth album has been plagued by delays. The first single, Walk On Water, was released last august, a volatile blend of electrorock, gospel-like choruses and general stadium decadence. That was half a year before this one, the second, and the album won't even come out until the end of this year, or even as late as 2020. So is this track worth the wait? The songs starts with a classic, 30 STM whisper-shouting verse, backed by classic 30 STM keyboards that sound lonely and dying yet defiant, each backed by trap sub-bass drops. Vox sample drops and more electronic beats give way to a rare guitar t...
