All in all, 'Savage Seas' is an impressive effort, which will give the band a step-up they need to get further in their career. This is an album that will not only be loved by fans of the band, but by other fans of the genre who may not yet have been won over by the band's previous efforts.

Tape Deck Heart is everything a release should be for an artist this far into his career, and is an exceptional reminder of all that Frank Turner is capable of. While Tape Deck Heart may be difficult to top, Turner has won the returned dedication of his listeners.

With 'Great North', Fourteen Nights at Sea prove themselves more than capable of constructing vivid sonic landscapes that capture a range of moods and environments. Evocative, strong and focused, the thematic images of solitude found in freezing desolation make the album's release date apt - prime listening as we head into colder months of the year.

It will take a few listens to discover everything this record has to offer more than anything, but 'Holy Fire' will eventually become most Foals fan's favourite album. The experimental electronic sections are easily the most exciting as they have set a new tone and range of possibilities for a band that could have easily become quite stale and boring, luckily, this shouldn't be an issue.

Crammed full of songs about getting high, getting drunk, and generally not giving a shit, FIDLAR’s debut album is a lot of fun. It’s raw, scuzzy and stripped-down stuff that will appeal to disenfranchised Gen Y kids, the type who are sick of the glitz and gloss of mainstream rock. Chuck it on and crank it up.

Terminal is an album that reflects the ever-evolving trends of heavy music just as much as it does the deeply personal experiences of its artists. Although Forbearance aren’t doing anything particularly outstanding in their genre, maybe it is enough that ‘Turmoil’ is a testimony to the people who wrote it and to the time they wrote it in.

With their sixth record, Funeral for a Friend have experimented in making what is ostensibly a post-hardcore record, but proudly dives into punk, hardcore and even metal territory. It's a move that works in their favour, and stands as their most thrilling, dynamic effort in a decade.

It's rare that an album takes you like this. The sheer amound of variation done not only congruously, but skillfully throughout this album defies any other advice to a prospective listener other than "Listen for yourself,". And with that, listen for yourself, and you'll be doing yourself a favour.

The best part of the whole concert however is - the whole concert. Summed up poignantly by Turner with “Simon Cowell didn’t make a phone call to make this happen” in front of the 12,000 fans he worked his butt off to earn. The real music industry is far from lost.

Through collaboration and frequent use of live instrumentation, combined with his revered laptop production skills, Flying Lotus has produced what is quite possibly his most organic sounding album yet. Though 'Until the Quiet Comes' plays through with a seemingly effortless flow, it is in fact intricately constructed and ornate. It defines the sound of Los Angeles beat music, at least as it appears in one man's head.
