  1. 8.2 |   Earbuddy

    I’d recommend Bad News Boys for anyone who enjoys a unique (but still refined and listenable) approach to ’60s garage pop crossed with doo-wop, SoCal vibes, and just a hint of punk speed and chicanery

  3. 8.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    At its core, Bad News Boys is a joyous celebration of all things rock'n'roll by two guys who seem to have it running in their blood

  6. 7.0 |   All Music

    Yet another album of pure fun and explosive rock & roll antics, with a delivery that by now belongs solely to these wild-eyed champions of inspiration and profanity

The Beths  Straight Line Was A Lie

They’ve made their most mature, most incisive album yet. Not reinvention. Continuance. The long way round, mapped with clarity Dork

Baxter Dury  Allbarone

Allbarone is the next destination for Dury as an experimental artist; he’s successfully been able to capture something new with his twist on hyperpop. The result is an intriguing effort that catapults him into the future realms of pop Beats Per Minute

Baxter Dury  Allbarone

Allbarone is Baxter Dury’s most hypnotic and groovy record yet, fusing his sardonic wit with club-ready beats. Distinct, contemporary, and utterly Dury, the artist’s ninth album proves he’s far from running out of ideas Northern Transmissions
