The Strypes chat about life on the road

Irish rockers, The Strypes, are currently embarking on a hefty tour which saw them go from round the UK, to the US, and will see them off to Japan in November. We caught up with the band before their gig at Brixton’s Electric to chat about their album and the tour. One notable thing about […]

Otherkin talk exciting tour and debut album!

Otherkin are currently on the road, touring their cracker of a debut album, ‘OK‘. We asked guitarist Conor about their album, and their tour. The response to your album has been immense, and you’ve been compared to some pretty big bands, what does that mean to you guys? Yeah, it’s a great start! We wanted […]

Amber Run tell us about their UK tour!

Straight off their UK tour, Amber Run told us about what it was like on the road. How was the tour? What’s been your favourite gig/ do you have any funny stories? Tour has been incredible – it’s so great for us to be able to go to places we haven’t visited before and play […]

Noija – Colourblind

Swedish alt-rockers, Noija, formed in late 2016, and in the short time they’ve been together, they’ve crafted a reputation with just a debut single, and their debut album, ‘Colourblind‘ only further expresses the immense potential they have. ‘Untitled‘ opens the album with a synth-filled beginning with calming vocals, easing you in to what turns out […]

The Glorious Sons on new album and tour!

On the cusp of the release of their new album, ‘Young Beauties and Fools‘, we spoke to The Glorious Sons about the album, and their tour. How are you feeling about your album release? I’m very excited, and very relieved. It’s been three years since our first album, and at times it felt like this would […]

The Strypes at Brixton Electric

Marking the end of their short but sweet ‘Great Expectation’ tour, The Strypes played at Brixton’s Electric, bringing their punk-fuelled bluesy sound back to London before jetting off to America to play the next leg of the tour. Micheal Jablonka opened the evening, warming up the crowd with his blend of rock and soul. Not […]

Coasts at Electric Ballroom

Indie-pop five-piece, Coasts, took to Camden’s Electric Ballroom last night, turning the venue into an electronic dream-fest, debuting songs from their new sophomore album, ‘This Life, Vol.1 ’. Storming on stage to the sounds of thunderous applause and the eardrum bursting screams of everyone in the venue, Coasts began their set with the synth-fuelled ‘Modern […]

The Glorious Sons – Young Beauties and Fools

The Glorious Sons, led by brothers Brett and Jay Emmons, have released their sophomore album, ‘Young Beauties and Fools‘. It’s a 10-track musical storm centered around being young and foolish, and everything that comes with it. It follows the success of their debut ‘The Union‘ which saw the band win the SiriusXM Indie Award for […]

Witterquick – Fire & Ice EP

Pop-rock four-piece Witterquick have released a new EP, ‘Fire & Ice‘, following a sold-out tour and an incredibly successful debut EP. ‘Shattered Suns‘ gets you immediately hooked, and sees the band blend heavier rock elements with very melodic vocals and electric synth sounds. It’s almost reminiscent of Bring Me The Horizon‘s slower songs on ‘That’s […]

Otherkin – OK

Irish garage punks, Otherkin, have released a 12-track debut album, ‘OK‘, and it’s roughly 40 minutes of brilliant, harsh, catchy, youthful rock. ‘Treat Me So Bad‘ is the perfect introduction to the album. It’s exactly what the band have said they want their songs to be – “punchy, lean, and blazing”, and it’s almost reminiscent of The […]

San Cisco @ The Garage

Following the release of their third album, ‘The Water‘, and almost exactly two years since their last show in London, San Cisco brought all their glittery Australian surf/ psychedelic/ indie/ pop/ rock grooves to The Garage. San Cisco are a great live band. This is an indisputable fact. From the moment they came on stage […]

Faces of Eve talk debut album

We caught up with Faces of Eve to ask them about their new self-titled album, influences, and festivals. What made you want to self release your album? Dan: Well self-releasing our album gave us a real sense of accomplishment and pride, even though it would have been great having a label backing us, we felt that […]

Coasts talk new album and 38 date tour!

We chatted to Coasts’ vocalist, Chris Caines about the band’s new album, ‘This Life‘, and their extensive UK tour. You’re going on tour in about two weeks, how are you feeling about it? Are you excited to get back on the road? I’m really looking forward to it. Probably more so than any other tour […]

SHADED – The Better Man In Me

Surrey-based pop-punk quartet, SHADED, have released their debut EP ‘The Better Man In Me‘, and it’s a punchy six-track mix inspired by all of your favourite pop-punk bands. The first thing that strikes me with this band is that they don’t sound like your average pop-punk band. In a genre that can often sound a […]

Faces of Eve – Faces Of Eve

Hertfordshire’s prog metal Faces of Eve have released their debut self-titled album, mixing technical post-hardcore, metalcore, and tech metal. As Above kicks in immediately, full of killer, face-melting riffs, courtesy of Dan Sloane, with more of a pop punk style vocal line from Benjamin Black – think early Fall Out Boy. From the off-set, you […]
