This month, we’ve got an intriguing mix of rock, metal, pop-punk and visionary psychedelic music by nine bands from France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, the UK and the USA.
Introducing: Last Shot At Redemption
Minneapolis band Last Shot At Redemption fuse fast, heavy riffing with socio-political lyrics in an engaging metal meets emo sound that they describe as “intense, urgent and hopeful.”
Introducing: Lost In The City
Kansas City band Lost In The City offer up a fun and lively pop punk sound that they describe as “energetic, honest and nostalgic.”
Introducing: Ravenswood
Stoner rockers Ravenswood are true OGs of the grunge scene, given that guitarist Chad was lucky enough to have seen Nirvana play live in Seattle before their debut album Bleach dropped. And the band have crafted a dank and moody, seriously low-tuned (B-standard) stoner rock sound that’s deliciously more-ish and they describe as “Lovecraftian post-Sludge.”
Introducing: The Infamists
Texas trio The Infamists describe themselves as a “three-headed rattlesnake” due to the feisty nature of a riff-heavy diverse stoner rock sound they summarise as “heavy, bluesy, and barbequed.”
Introducing: Dethlehem
Pittsburgh band Dethlehem have leapt from the tabletop to the stage with a fascinating, thunderous metal sound that came to life via a Dungeons & Dragons campaign and they describe as “epic, brutal and fantastical.”
Introducing: Line So Thin
Tennessee rockers Line So Thin have crafted a powerful and catchy heavy rock sound that they describe as “emotional, intense and honest.”
Introducing: September Mourning
ard rock and metal collective September Mourning see themselves as more than just a band, but a transmedia project that fuses music, comics and performance into a single immersive universe.
Introducing: Overture
International band Overture have crafted a thrilling, haunting and provocative metal sound that aims to take the listener on dramatic, theatrical journeys and they describe as “progressive melodic metal.”
Introducing: Vicar Blood
With a name like Vicar Blood, you’d rightly expect a band to be obscenely heavy and confrontational. And the Ohio quintet doesn’t disappoint, serving up a vicious death metal sound laden with chugging guitars, driving drums and violent vocals.
