Ocean Grove: The Rhapsody Tapes
It’s pretty unique to listen to a band’s debut release and be overwhelmed by nostalgic vibes. Redefining the sound of nu-metal made popular in the early 2000’s, Ocean Grove’s album The Rhapsody Tapes not only distinguishes them from a scene traditionally fuelled by generic metal-core releases, but also puts them well and truly at the forefront.

Tobin Sprout: The Universe and Me
Blistering out of my laptop speakers, ‘Future Boy Today/Man of Tomorrow’ is the opening track to Tobin Sprout’s new record The Universe and Me and reminds me fondly of the end of high school. Fresh eyed and bushy tailed, the heavily over-driven jangly guitar reminds me of the mosh pit in the groove room at The Nash.
