This list is late. In fact, this list is horribly late! We're already nearly two weeks into 2013 and here I am still obsessing over which albums made the cut. To be honest, I was waiting for the end of the world around December 21st and
It's that time of year again, people are winding down, getting ready for the holiday season, and down here in Cape Town, that includes preparing for the wave of "Transvaalers" coming down. If this year has taught me anything, it's that at least 5 of you care about my musical opinion, so, for you here are my top 10 albums for
Last seen in Cape Town in 2011, Juggernaught, are a band of men with beards, makin’ manly Southern rock.

Metalcore. A genre so many fans of heavy music have gravitated towards over the past few years, but with so many generic, carbon-copy, one hit wonders plaguing the metal scene in more recent times it has become a genre that many now approach with much reservation. Fear not metallers
