Your guide to new rock, metal and punk bands worldwide
We’ve been using music discovery platform Groover to find new rock and metal bands from all around the world for several months now. In order to carry out interviews for our articles, we have to send an email to the bands and, sometimes, they don’t respond to our requests. So we routinely put together a review of those that go unanswered.
