Rock newcomers In The Cards have come a long way from their days as school friends in the Midlands town of Stoke-on-Trent. Their delicious combination of soaring melodies, energetic choruses and moments of heaviness is now just weeks away from being unleashed upon the ears of the world with their debut EP. The quartet of Amy... Continue Reading →
For every epic theme song to kids' TV shows like The Hurricanes, Animals of Farthing Wood, The Raccoons and The Moomins, there's a whole host of absolute dross teaching the next generation bad musical habits.

As far as eclectic music goes Hastings' Matilda's Scoundrels are among the most diverse you're likely to encounter. The six-piece freely admit they fall into a 'pretty tough category on the punk spectrum,' trying to distance themselves from the clichés of folk punk with a sound that can land anywhere between traditional folk, sea shanties...

One of my favourite bands since setting this site up has been Brighton rockers City of Ashes. I've seen them live three or four times, always enjoyed chatting to the guys at gigs and loved their music, so it's a bittersweet moment that the band is evolving into new and exciting things as Hear Lies....

Deep within the heart of the Black Country something feral and wild has taken shape, evolved, harnessed the power of rock and readied itself to be unleashed upon the world next month.
