Reviews | AAA Music - Part 110
Mosman Alder – Burn Bright
2 July 2012 | aaamusicFirst it was post-hardcore. I’d become used to having some bunch of Essex boys with a Reuben fixation show up in my email inbox every Monday or Tuesday, waiting to have my critical eye cast on their first, fleeting … Read More
Firefly – Lightships
2 July 2012 | aaamusicFirefly’s new album Lightships is a compelling mix of country, classical and indie. Their unique breed of folk is tinged with baroque shades and sounds fantastic, in the true sense of the word. Opener I Feel is a real … Read More
Hilltop Hoods – Drinking From The Sun
2 July 2012 | aaamusicThis new album from Hilltop Hoods is a cut above your bog-standard hip hop. It lacks some of the wit and intelligence to be found in some of the best examples of the genre, and occasionally has that irritating … Read More

River City Ransom – River City Ransom EP
1 July 2012 | aaamusicIt’s a funny thing, this hardcore business. It had its day in America a few years back, and the UK has slowly been producing the kind of bands that see buzzsaw guitars and equally cutting vocals all seething with … Read More

Room E – Penguin Child
