Album Review: Abbe May – Kiss My Apocalypse
Sunday, June 23rd, 2013Album Review: The Love Junkies – Maybelene
Friday, June 21st, 2013
Review By Chris Gardner Good rock and roll has a lot in common with good journalism. It needs three things; clarity, brevity and impact. Lucky Space Ship News is in the journalism business, then, because The Love Junkies have the […]
Album Review: Riley Pearce – We Are Fools
Tuesday, June 18th, 2013
There’s a sentiment in the world of musicians, and it’s always worded in similar to this; “you have to write a hundred songs and throw them away before you can write a song.” Rob Nassif of Gyroscope outlined it brilliantly […]
Album Review: London Grammar – Metal & Dust
Monday, June 17th, 2013
Review by Chloe Reynolds Smouldering with sweet melancholic layers, British trio LONDON GRAMMAR will quite literally make you stop what you’re doing and inhale. It’s almost like you can breathe in these beautiful sounds, and on their debut EP Metal & […]

Album Review: Dead Owls – Small Talk
Monday, May 6th, 2013
Review by Naomi Faye Small Talk doesn’t sound like a debut EP. Dead Owls’ first release is sophisticated, fluid and full of contradictions: comfortable yet challenging, self-conscious but confident, fragile but strong. Jumping between these extremes, the Dead Owls never […]
Album Review: The Growl ‘What Would Christ Do?’
Thursday, March 21st, 2013
Review by Christine Savage From the onset, THE GROWL‘s new album’s opening track “Eleven” sets the pace for things to come, with a dirty jungle blues sound derived from the driving percussion and heavy droning bass. Add to that the sultry vocals and sleazy guitar and you […]
Album Review: Pissed Jeans ‘Honeys’
Saturday, February 16th, 2013
Review by Benjamin Arnold In a musical scene being dominated by dreamy eyed psych-pop revivalists, it’s a welcome change to hear a band more concerned with puncturing your ear drums, than mollycoddling them. ‘Honeys’ is Pennsylvanian punks PISSED JEANS fourth […]
