ALBUM REVIEW: Trevor’s Head – A View From Below
Trevor’s Head are self-described as the most exciting thing to come out of Redhill, Surrey in three centuries. Without being a local, a quick investigation suggests little of note from the town bar the Foundling Museum setting up a school in the 1920’s and the construction of the M23 Motorway nearby during the seventies (thanks Google) and very little else of note, so this is most certainly a tongue in cheek boast. It is one that certainly sells the band short however as evidenced on the intriguing genre-melding on display on their latest album A View From Below (APF Records).Continue reading

Tides Of Sulfur – Paralysis Of Reason
Despite having released a host of material since its 2012 inception, Glamorgan trio Tides Of Sulfur has issued just one album, the coruscating Extinction Curse (Self-Released) in 2016.
