Colorado band Less Than Perfect combine chunky riffs, searing solos and engaging vocals in a high-energy rock meets metal sound that they describe as "inspiring, passionate and memorable."

Introducing: Make It Shine
French band Make It Shine fuse rock and metal influences with touches of electronica to craft a fun, catchy but heavy-riffing sound that they describe as "energetic, melodic and bouncy."
New Band of the Week: Head Cloud
East Midlands band Head Cloud offer up a deliciously heavy yet mellow grunge-gaze sound that draws on elements of 90s grunge, shoegaze and post-hardcore.
Introducing: Inside The Trojan Horse
Mysterious American newcomers Inside The Trojan Horse have honed a thrilling, atmospheric hard rock and punk metal-tinged sound that they describe as a "pure, reflective release."
Introducing: Die Tired
