Opening up the first date of the UK leg of the Selective Hearing UK tour are South African born, London-based rockers New Volume. This is the trio’s 27th date of the run and it may as well have been their first with the epic performance they gave! While the crowd may have been a bit […]
‘Night Sky‘ is the glittering debut LP from Yorkshire rockers Of Allies. It’s an album full of hard-hitting, slap you in the face, heavy Brit-rock. Although Of Allies are a relatively young band, they’ve gained attention from Kerrang!, Marshall Amps, BBC Radio 1, and BBC Introducting – and this album was entirely crowdfunded. It’s easy […]
Since the release of their debut album Greyer Than You Remember in 2015, Employed To Serve have risen to the top of the British underground hardcore scene now even at the lofty heights of being featured on Kerrang! covers which, given the nature of the abrasive and aggressive music they produce is no mean feat. […]
When it comes to alternative music most of the big bands come from your typical trio of the UK, USA and Canada with the occasional exception to the rule. I for one think that’s a shame. Many of the countries left out from usual listening are in fact home to some great bands that could […]
Arriving to a queue that wraps around the building and back to the entrance you expect gig goers want to pick their spot close to the front for the duration of what should be a stellar night, as PEARS (The band, not to be confused with the fruit) kick start the night while the Brixton […]
Highly successful Finnish prog rockers Von Hertzen Brothers released their brand new album War is Over. The album sees the band continue their anthemic style of prog rock.

This concert film not only provides an account of the first Knotfest held on Mexican soil, but also a first live film after the passing of Paul Gray and the acrimonious dismissal of Joey Jordison.

Here we are at the O2 Islington Academy, kicking things off early at 6.30pm is The Last Band from Gothemburg with an extremely minimal turn out, cracking out some jokes of their place on the bill while ironically being the first band on. A cover of Bulls On Parade makes some friends in the building […]
UK 4 piece LIFETIGHT have just released a banger (literally) on Crooked Noise Records which any Hardcore fan would be proud of. Opening with Energy is precisely what is done here, as a fuelled vocalist races through a pacey hardcore tone in his voice, a heavy and upbeat drum pattern and a low ending gritty […]
Next Friday, Natural Light by Leeds indie rock group Track and Field will be released. The first track of the album is Part Of Me. It begins with a rather appeasing tone and feel. However, it begins to hype up nearly two minutes in, with more use of electric guitar, all while keeping the same […]
