At 17 years of age, Northwich quintet Oceans On Mars are definitely the youngest band we've interviewed on the site, and they may well be among the most talented and promising. The band first began when Joe Sant (vocals) and Angus Scott (lead guitar) created a two-piece covers band in year nine and won their... Continue Reading →
A couple of weeks ago we brought you the second single from Watford alternative rockers Passive. We sat down with the band ahead of the release to find out more about the five-piece who met at school and began playing music together when they were 17.

Bristol rockers The Hideaways have honed a raucously engaging sound that puts them right up there with the most exciting new bands we've met over the last couple of years. The quartet of Danny Pugh (vocals and guitars), Tim Burden (guitar and synth), Sam Bendall-Weeks (bass) and Jack Ford (drums) formed last summer after Danny and... Continue Reading →

Today is an exciting day as, in two years of running GigRadar, I had yet to interview any band that included someone with the surname as me. But now the wait is over, thanks to London via New York City indie rockers Tiger Mimic. Drummer George Latham completes the quartet alongside Jess Rhodes (vocals and... Continue Reading →
With a name like this, how could we possibly not name Barbarian Hermit as our New Band of the Week? And when you hear their music, which they delightfully describe using the 3 G's of "Gargantuan, groove and gravy," our choice is only further validated. The Manchester doom and sludge scene super-group are proud creators... Continue Reading →
"P!nk is completely badass and stands up fully for what she believes in and she doesn’t care an inch what anybody thinks of her," says Flawless Carbon’s frontwoman, Lauren Diamond.
