Your guide to new rock, metal and punk bands worldwide
The Danish city of Roskilde is home to one of Scandinavia's biggest music festivals and a Gothic cathedral that continues to house many Danish Monarchs among its 39 tombs. But now the city has unleashed something equally majestic and a band that can truly put the city on the map in the form of metalcore... Continue Reading →
I love a band name that involves wolves, mainly from the time me and a few pals (admittedly drunkenly) came up with the pipedream of a band called We Were Wolves many years ago. And on a similar theme, that brings us to London-based rockers Man Shaped Wolf, whose name I love and, luckily, their... Continue Reading →
Ireland's God Alone. haven't even finished high school yet but they're making waves as purveyors of dark yet cathartic, largely instrumental music laced with metal overtones, which they describe as "Ministry of sound: post-metal edition." The Cork quintet of Jake O'Driscoll (guitar and occasional vocals), Jack O'Hanlon (drums), Cian Ó Maoláin (bass, even less occasional vocals and electronics), Seán Thompson... Continue Reading →
We've done a fair amount of interviews over the last couple of years, but Sarah Rose immediately diving into the topic of BDSM is very definitely a first for us. The vocalist of Atlanta-based, brilliantly named Sarah And The Safe Word didn't go as far as to divulge the said 'safe word' but did give... Continue Reading →

So it should come as no surprise that witnessing the Australian quartet for the first time... Continue Reading →
At 17 years of age, Northwich quintet Oceans On Mars are definitely the youngest band we've interviewed on the site, and they may well be among the most talented and promising. The band first began when Joe Sant (vocals) and Angus Scott (lead guitar) created a two-piece covers band in year nine and won their... Continue Reading →
Coming into Saturday night's gig in Bournemouth, I'd had a few words from one song stuck in my head for a few days: "I've got this morbid fascination." So perhaps it was fate that that was the very song that SHVPES chose to open their set with - and what a set it was. The... Continue Reading →
Happy Friday one and all, and make sure yours is a good one with another fix of awesome new music.

A couple of weeks ago we brought you the second single from Watford alternative rockers Passive. We sat down with the band ahead of the release to find out more about the five-piece who met at school and began playing music together when they were 17.
