The Young Hearts – Honestly, I’m Just Thinking

Kent emo/alt-rock quartet The Young Hearts are releasing their new EP Honestly, I’m Just Thinking on September 29 through Primordial Records. The mellow riffs and smooth vocals of Bloom open the EP and sets a bit of a pop-rock feel with the catchy chorus. Medicine follows the same path as its predecessor. Lead single Smoke […]

Sons of Texas- Forged by Fortitude

Sons of Texas are a band from Texas (funnily enough) that are kind of hard to describe. The base of the sound is certainly metal but you can hear other notes in there. Grungy, bluesy notes that make them an interesting listen. After forming in 2013 and releasing their first record, Baptized in the Rio […]

Tigercub – Evolve Or Die EP

Evolve Or Die is the latest EP from Tigercub who have a huge list of accomplishments to date including tours with Royal Blood, The Fall and Pulled Apart By Horses to name a few, while also performing at Reading & Leeds and 2000 Trees Festival, the Brighton trio are set to make stardom, right?

The Movielife – Cities In Search of a Heart

Before the likes of Brand New, Crime In Stereo and Taking Back Sunday conquered the Long Island punk scene there was The Movielife. Cutting their teeth in sweaty basements the band gradually rose in prominence all the way to their seminal 2003 record Forty Hour Train Back To Penn, after which they shocked the industry and […]

Frank Iero and The Patience – Keep The Coffins Coming

Frank Iero and the Patience are gearing up to release new EP Keep The Coffins Coming. It’s the follow-up to 2016’s Parachutes and comes ahead of a mammoth UK/European tour that kicks off this week!   I’m A Mess has been a fan favourite since it was first released and with it’s punky feel, it’s not […]

Counterparts – You’re Not You Anymore

Tomorrow, Canadian hardcorers Counterparts release their fifth album You’re Not You Anymore on Pure Noise Records. Opening with a 38 second melodic instrumental in Walk Away Slowly builds up into an aggressive and in your face Bouquet, an angry track that abruptly ends. Arms Like Teeth and No Servant Of Mine all follow the same […]

Stand Atlantic – Sidewinder

Stand Atlantic are a trio made up of members Bonnie Fraser with vocals & guitar, David Potter on bass, and Jonno Panichi on drums. The trio are taking Australia by storm and have recently released their new EP Sidewinder. The 5 track EP is full of great guitar riffs and relatable lyrics throughout. The first track starts […]

Beaumont – Honestly EP

In recent years, there seems to have been a surge in pop ‘rock’ bands with big sugary choruses that feel like they are begging for mainstream radio play. From the scene that brought you Five Seconds of Summer is born Beaumont, a four piece hailing from Birmingham. They seem to take the ideas of this […]

Freakangel – How the Ghost Became..

Born out of the depths of Suicidal Romance, covered in grime, dirt and heavy riffs come Freakangel. Taking influence from bands such as Combichrist, Nine Inch Nails and Fear Factory, they reach to the darker side of the industrial metal genre with heavy drums, dark vocals, darker synths and thrashing guitars but yet, still incredibly […]

Josh Todd & The Conflict – Year Of The Tiger

Josh Todd (Buckcherry vocalist) has taken to a new project with his partner in crime Stevie Dancanay (Buckcherry guitarist) to bring us a whole new experience with that same authentic and distinctive voice playing the part of something more dynamic and heavy from what you’d usually expect, recruiting Gregg Cash (bass) and Sean Winchester (drums) […]

Pretty Little Enemy- Second Load

While doing other articles for the site recently I accidentally found my favourite new band of the year. Pretty Little Enemy are an Alt Metal group from Somerset, maybe not the first locale that comes to mind when you think of anything metal but trust me on this one. The bands previous EP, Bitch Please, […]

Seaway – Vacation

As the sun retreats and Autumn takes over, colourful Canadian pop-punks Seaway are giving listeners a Vacation, in the form of their third full length record. Twelve upbeat tracks coalesce into a sun soaked ode to days gone by. The result is a ‘tour de pop-punk’ of a release, where the band set out to […]

7 Minutes In Heaven – Symmetry

Chicago alt-rockers 7 Minutes In Heaven are set to release their highly anticipated debut Rude Records release Symmetry on Friday!
