One of the first rock and metal bands I ever got into was Hundred Reasons, so it was a pleasure to speak to their frontman Colin Doran for our latest episode of GigRadio.
GigRadio Episode 12: The Hundred Reasons One
New Band of the Week: Beyond Extinction
Exciting Essex metal band Beyond Extinction are on a mission to become "one of the big UK metal bands" with their fusion of metalcore, deathcore and death metal elements.
Introducing: The Clockworks
Irish quartet The Clockworks have mastered the art of rolling relatable stories and colloquial tales into engaging, high-energy rocky post-punk anthems.
GigRadio Episode 11: The Immerse-ive One
The GigRadar podcast GigRadio is back with a bang to discuss the best new rock and metal from around the world! It's been 10 months since our last episode but we've been keen to revamp the podcast for a while, and we finally got the opportunity to do so.
Introducing: Severed Illusions
A metal band with two dedicated vocalists is a fairly rare phenomenon but that's the case with Trowbridge band Severed Illusions.
Introducing: Cell Games
Brand new Irish metal duo Cell Games take us back 20 years or so in time with a sound they hope provides a revival of nu-metal in a bid to "rival the best turn-of-the-century bands."
New Band of the Week: Artemis
As the daughter of Zeus, Artemis was one of the most venerated Ancient Greek deities who signified, among many things, love, strength and the protection of girls and women. And we think you're going to love the strong, adrenaline pumping vibes of Southampton's "ballsy bubblegum punk rockers" Artemis.
Introducing: Acolyte
Strap yourself in for a progressive metal rollercoaster ride with Australian rockers Acolyte. The band have honed a progressive metal sound that drops you into melancholic, ambient troughs and picks you up with dramatic climactic peaks that they describe as "epic, emotive and powerful."
Introducing: Future Lows
We promised you more bands from the Emerald Isle and, almost immediately, here's another in brand new rock duo Future Lows. The band describe their engaging, anthemic sound as a "step forwards" for Irish rock music due to its modern approach.
Introducing: Neon Empire
We're increasingly seeing bands using electronic elements to redefine what we know as metal with new sounds and unconventional approaches. But Irish band Neon Empire are taking that crossover to even higher levels with an "ambitious, adventurous and rule-breaking" electro metalcore sound.
