Words by Anselm Anderson

Punk trio Lilith's Army celebrates signing with Independent Label Criminal Records, releasing their latest LP, on March 28th.

Hailing from Northampton, England, the trio comprises vocalist/guitarist Sylvie Studente, bassist Tommy Mayo, and drummer Steve Sherwood. They blend lo-fi punk with grunge and metal, citing influences from L7 and Nirvana. "Doll" features 13 tracks of new material and re-recordings of previous releases. The album has a fresh, boisterous sound, boasting catchy pop-punk choruses and edgy riffs told from a personal perspective on heartbreak, social anxieties, and mental health. Lillith's Army aims to provide an alternative to the punk scene. The trio developed a strong fanbase over the years after a guest slot at the highly sought-after Glastonbury Festival, with support from Total Rock and Kerrang! 

Let's get on with the review!

The tongue-in-cheek song "Eat My TV" kicks off with a jab at social media and current pop culture. The aggressive, energetic punk riffs by Studente provide the zest and energy needed to get listeners on their feet., The fiery opening riff of "Cursed" evokes an angry Nirvana, as the band showcases their ability to write serious tracks like "Breathless", "Helpless", and "Drain Me", which delve into the vulnerabilities of their emotions. The basslines by Mayo are dark and eerie, while Sherwood's drumming builds the tempo with each chord struck by Studenete's skilled hand on the guitar. "Get Away" exemplifies a powerful metal riff combined with captivating pop vocals that are both catchy and memorable. "Reach Out" is the heaviest track on the album, featuring unsettling lyrics, a dirty riff, and a combination of Studenete's sweet voice and harsh screams that reflect the personal hell the narrator has experienced.

Lillith's Army presents thirteen tracks that capture a personal journey through angst and determination, showcasing strong songwriting and musicianship rooted in fresh punk and grunge, guaranteed to leave listeners headbanging.

 Words by Anselm Anderson Bristol's rock quartet Oswald Slain, formerly known as Little Chief, has released a new single titled "Ugly," which is part of the upcoming album "Kiss Me on the Mouth," expected to be released in April 2025. The band blends Americana with blues rhythms and energetic rock grooves, influenced by Neil Young and The Band. They tell stories with a quirky sense of humour and a reflective stance. "Ugly" is one such tale, inspired by the 1997 film Boogie Nights , which looks behind the scenes of the 70's adult film indust ry. The song tells the story of seeing the ugly side of the industry. Lead vocalist Charlie Fitzgerald takes on the sleazy lead with his strong, nasal vocals, complemented by the rousing rhythms of fuzzy guitars. The drum's steady beats help enhance the sound and give a 70's edge. The song's provocative lyrics add to the intrigue and enjoyment. Photo courtesy of GLK Media Oswald Slain was born out of...
