Manchester band The Hyena Kill are venturing on a journey into unfamiliar territory, bringing listeners into their world of turmoil with an album that seeks to reconcile personal trauma and pain.
Introducing: The Hyena Kill
New Band of the Week: Broozer
There seems to be a strange disdain from some parts for bands formed of just two members. That's pretty hard to understand when it comes to a duo like Broozer, who refuse to conform to one genre and are more than happy to mix things up from song to song.
Introducing: Interstate Drive
Interstate Drive have honed a funky indie sound that sets out to do something a little different to the norm and what is widely expected of them in the modern music industry.
Introducing: Dirty Power
With a band name like Dirty Power you're well within your rights to expect some filthy, heavy, hard rocking goodness, and the Dublin-based trio well and truly deliver on those expectations.
Introducing: VRSTY
New York City rockers VRSTY are on a mission to prove wrong the theory that everything has done before. The band offer up an unusual fusion of R&B and even pop-inspired vocals with heavier metal growls alongside huge guitar riffs, metallic grooves and elements of post-hardcore.
Introducing: Another Now
Eindhoven band Another Now have honed a thrilling metalcore sound that's laced with violent guitars and unrelenting rhythms, alongside tech metal influences, electronic noises and plenty of intense shredding. And they're yet another band to add to the list of exciting new Dutch metal bands.
New Band of the Week: Spar Marta
Our first New Band of the Week of 2021 may well be the first to have fused hard rock, metal and reggae. Spar Marta have honed a unique sound that jumps between full-on heavy riffing and more laid-back delicious vocals, with a sprinkling of funk for good measure.
Introducing: Midgar
Our prolonged Christmas break is over and, like our first featured artist of 2021, we are back with a bang. Midgar is an unusual band for us, given that they started out more than a decade ago but, after a long hiatus, they're returning with a sound that's hard-hitting and intense yet melodic and intricate.
Introducing: DDE’s
Manchester trio DDE's have stayed true to the city's indie roots in their creation of a catchy rock'n'roll sound that just sounds like Manchester.
New Band of the Week: Heriot
Describing themselves as "not for the faint-hearted," Swindon's Heriot offer up a violent assault on your earholes with a crushing hardcore sound.
