A rumination: 1812 Centrestage’s Short Shorts 2026 | THEATRE REVIEW

♥️ The first law of thermodynamics states that energy can neither be created or destroyed. It is only converted or transferred. In times of personal change, or loss, or any kind of flux, I find this principle to be incredibly comforting. Sure, it usually applies more to physics and engineering theory, but there is alsoContinueContinue reading “A rumination: 1812 Centrestage’s Short Shorts 2026 | THEATRE REVIEW”

The path less travelled: Xiu Xiu – Xiu Mutha Fuckin’ Xiu *ALBUM REVIEW*

| ⭐⭐⭐✨ | Covers. Renditions of beloved gems in the popular music canon. Covers come in all shapes and sizes. Some exceed their source material in the eyes and ears of the public (Hurt by Johnny Cash versus the OG Nine Inch Nails version). Some are very faithful takes, and some show the original inContinueContinue reading “The path less travelled: Xiu Xiu – Xiu Mutha Fuckin’ Xiu *ALBUM REVIEW*”

Paracosm’s Blackpill: REDUX | THEATRE REVIEW

| ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | It’s a never-ending story. Romantically disenfranchised men with deep insecurity and misplaced anger channel their own shortcomings, perceived or real, into an ideology that projects their lack of personal success onto the women that use their agency to decide for themselves. The excuses are always the same too. They don’t know whatContinueContinue reading “Paracosm’s Blackpill: REDUX | THEATRE REVIEW”

Needs fine-tuning: Molly Grace – Blush *ALBUM REVIEW*

| ⭐⭐✨ | An artist I have been unaware of until this point, it was recommended as something worth checking out as they appear to be an exciting new act moving up the industry ranks. Molly Grace is a Nashville-bred singer and songwriter who has a clear affinity for the sort of slick, groovy popContinueContinue reading “Needs fine-tuning: Molly Grace – Blush *ALBUM REVIEW*”

A collection of glorified outros: miffle – goodbye, world! *ALBUM REVIEW*

| ⭐⭐✨ | I am admittedly late to the party on this one. This album was released all the way back in September of this year, and has steadily amassed an online buzz, probably helped along by a recent glowing Anthony Fantano review. It is always heartening to see artists finally getting their flowers offContinueContinue reading “A collection of glorified outros: miffle – goodbye, world! *ALBUM REVIEW*”

Getting my ears f**ked with Intercourse: Intercourse – How I Fell In Love With The Void *ALBUM REVIEW*

| ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | If relentless pigfuck and post-hardcore with a demented sense of humour is your thing (I know it’s mine), then look no further than Connecticut’s very own Intercourse. Boasting numerous EP’s and splits, as well as three LP’s now under their belt, these ferocious upstarts have made a serious name for themselves inContinueContinue reading “Getting my ears f**ked with Intercourse: Intercourse – How I Fell In Love With The Void *ALBUM REVIEW*”

Egg punk is here to stay: Snõõper – Worldwide *ALBUM REVIEW*

| ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Snõõper are their own universe now. Since landing with a breath of fresh air on their 2023 debut, it seems the Nashville band is more than willing to double down on their uniquely zany garage and egg punk sound. This time around though, there are some notable extensions in the mix. ForContinueContinue reading “Egg punk is here to stay: Snõõper – Worldwide *ALBUM REVIEW*”

Not ecstatic enough: Agriculture – The Spiritual Sound *ALBUM REVIEW*

| ⭐⭐⭐ | When Agriculture first began breaking onto the scene a few years back, the black metal genre was stuck in a limbo state. Gone were the exciting days of the early 2010’s Renaissance. Liturgy with their freshly-coined transcendental black metal, Deafheaven with their revelatory blackgaze, Altar of Plagues with their successfully experimental blackContinueContinue reading “Not ecstatic enough: Agriculture – The Spiritual Sound *ALBUM REVIEW*”
