Crowes turning into magpies, can it be done? You better read on if you want an answer to that question.

Roger Waters – Is This The Life We Really Want?
Roger Waters has released his first new album in ages, and after a week and a half we’re finally able to ramble something moderately coherent about it. Here goes. Continue reading
Deep Purple – Infinite
With Infinite, Deep Purple releases their twentieth and likely last album before embarking on an extensive farewell tour. We take a look. Continue reading
Here Lies Man – Here Lies Man
The idea of hard rock and afrobeat joining forces seems slightly silly. Slightly… well guess what, it is not an idea anymore, it’s real and it sounds pretty good as well. Continue reading
Blues Pills – Lady in Gold
Blues Pills return with the long-awaited follow-up to their excellent debut album. But does Lady in Gold live up to the hype? Continue reading
[Live review] PJ Harvey – Heineken Music Hall, Amsterdam
Hi there! If you have been following us around lately you might remember that PJ Harvey most recent record got a mixed review here.

Iron Maiden – The Book of Souls
Obligatory clickbait-y intro: in case you’ve been living underneath a rock, there’s a new Iron Maiden album out. It’s called The Book of Souls, sports 92 minutes of new music and it’s the first they’ve put out in five long years. I know if it’s good or not, and I’m telling you after the cut.
