Lullaby’s debut EP Never Let The Devil In is a bouncy, hook filled rock release, that suggests bigger things are on the horizon for Lullaby. The EP itself is best described as rock however there are Brit pop influences throughout, and even hints of bands like Muse and Feeder as well as more modern bands […]
Trauma PR hosted As Everything Unfolds’ single release show on Friday night. The evening was a showcase of up and coming British metal. Opening the night were mathcore two piece Death Goals.

Thumpermonkey’s new EP Electricity is a 4 track EP which attempts to capture the personality of the quartet.

Unfortunately the alt rock four piece struggle to achieve much on this EP with each track falling rather flat. […]

Jamie: yeah it feels good, bigger stage […]
Sheffield experimental instrumental band King Capisce are set to release their third studio album Memento Mori on 6th October. The record sees the band continue the jazz/rock crossover style.

Dutch alt-rock three piece, Paceshifters are set to release their new album Waiting To Derail on 6th October.

I sat down with Brian Sella of The Front Bottoms at 2000 Trees to talk about playing festivals, supporting Blink 182 and a new album. You’ve only just arrived but what are your first impressions of the festival? We kinda just stepped off the bus and saw the woods and the stages and stuff. But […]

Citizen are set to release new album As You Please on 6th October. As You Please is a dark brooding album which is both introspective and aware of what’s going on elsewhere.

Killset released their sophomore album S.T.F.U on 7th July this year. Using producer Eddie Wohl once more, Killset maintain their late 90s, early 00s sound that is synonymous with Eddie’s work.
