EP REVIEW: DARKO - CANVAS (18/07/25)
Surrey progressive punks DARKO are back with a blistering new EP titled ‘Canvas’, out 18 July via Lockjaw Records. This final piece in a trilogy of conceptually-linked EPs - alongside Greyscale (2024) and Sparkle (2022) - sharpens their signature blend of high-velocity punk, technical precision, and post-hardcore experimentation.
EP REVIEW: ARCHERS - TEMPORARY HIGH (13/06/25)
Released on 13 June 2025 via SBG Records, Temporary High by modern metalcore band Archers - Nathanael Pulley (vocals), Ben Koehler (guitars), Oscar Porter (bass), Grayson Mesarosh (drums) - doesn’t waste time. It hits hard, leans into atmosphere, and pulls zero punches. Clocking in at just under 17 minutes, the five-track collection shows a significant evolution from their earlier post-hardcore roots into a more refined, emotionally charged metalcore sound.
