Alternative Rock Music GENRE ARCHIVES

Farewell, My Love – Above It All

This is an incredible record that shows the band’s maturing sound, while still keeping the theatrical elements. There is something for everyone here and it is definitely the quartet’s most impressive work to date. The skill on guitar is second-to-none and the vocals are beautifully overlaid, with a great range from Chad. I can’t give you a stand-out track because they are all mini-masterpieces. I am going to go all out and say that this is my favourite album of 2016!

Landmarks are Cutting Strings

Manchester alt-rockers Landmarks have released the video for Cutting Strings. The track is taken from the band's forthcoming third EP. In Spite of it All is set for release via Scylla Records on August 12.

Making Monsters say Call Me Out

Northern Irish alt-rockers Making Monsters have released the video for latest single Call Me Out. The release follows the successful launch of their acclaimed EP Bad Blood.

Dead Letter Circus announce UK tour

Australian alt-rockers Dead Letter Circus have announced they will be hitting five UK cities as part of their European tour in support of album Aesthesis.

Meet The Decoy

Welsh alt-rockers The Decoy are celebrating the announcement of their debut album Avalon (out via Ghoulish Records on July 29) by announcing a run of live shows and a new video! The video sees the band chuck the mainstream idea of using microphones, instead opting to give carrots and broccoli new purposes.

The Broadcasts @ Clwb Ifor Bach 17/06/2016

The South Wales four piece are celebrating the release of their self titled album "The Broadcasts". They are fun and energetic from the start. The crowd are joyful, friendly and are generally enjoying the music.

Beware of Darkness release Muthafucka video

Alt-rock trio Beware of Darkness have released the video for new track Muthafucka. The track is taken from the band's forthcoming album Are You Real? which is set for release later this year via Bright Antenna Records.

Chase The Day announce debut album

London alt-rockers Chase The Day have announced their debut album will finally see the light of day with it's release on September 9. Tabula Rasa was due to be released in December 2015, but was pushed back due to technical errors. The album is a haven for those who recall the 90's alternative rock/grunge era with twelve tracks featuring massive, catchy hooks and groovy riffs.

Landmarks are In Spite of it All

Manchester rock quartet Landmarks have announced their latest EP In Spite of it All is set for release on August 12. The title of the record is perhaps very accurate because in spite of all that has happened during the recording process, the EP is here and ready for release.

The Autumn Ravine – An Intrinsic Evolution

An interesting title, much fitting with the cover art. To me, it looks as though we're looking at an evolution of a man who struggled and worked through his life, but once he had a son of his own, his child was given money straight from his father's pocket.

SAOSIN – ALONG THE SHADOW

There's not much else to say about this album except that well, it's simply awesome. And if post-hardcore is your thing, then you may just agree.

Slam Dunk 2016 Review – Part Two

So, as you have probably seen in our extensive review coverage of Slam Dunk 2016 (if not, you can go and read it here) then you'll know that there was a lot more that we left out of that article. The reason being, we didn't want it to go on forever and you lose interest. Also as there were several of us at different dates, we thought it would be a good idea to compare some of the artists performances, as we all have varying musical tastes, you can check out some of the acts below that multiple members of our team saw and what they thought!
