April New Music Round-Up: The Hi-Sides, Imperishable, Inconvenience, Jonas & The Jaguar Moon and NOAPOLOGY

Our ongoing discovery of new music through discovery platform Groover leads us to interview bands from all over the world. However, some don’t respond to our requests, so we do regular round-ups of new bands that have submitted tracks to us.

Introducing: Holy Hell

With a name like Holy Hell, it’s only fair for us to expect something dramatic, powerful and vicious. And the Canadian newcomers very much deliver on those expectations in an emo-meets-metalcore sound they describe as “emotional, aggressive and epic.”

Introducing: Steve Creep and the Wildcards

Montreal newcomers Steve Creep and the Wildcards compare enjoying their engaging rock sound to the experience of appreciating the look and sound of a vintage car, summarising it as “catchy, retro and melodic.”

Introducing: Killed By Sorrow

Killed By Sorrow, who hail from Granby, on the south shore of Montreal, combine catchy, intense vocals with powerful guitars in a delicious sound that they summarise as “gritty, raw and heavy.”

Introducing: Slow Motion Victory

Toronto newcomers Slow Motion Victory have cracked the perfect formula for metal success with crushing riffs, engaging vocals and vicious breakdowns in a sound they describe as “explosive, melodic and dynamic.”

Introducing: The Kyle Jordan Project

Canada-based trio The Kyle Jordan Project blends indie rock with modern rock influences in a sound that they describe as “fearless, real and connected” and began as a creative outlet for some devastating, life-changing news.

Introducing: The Purple Helmets

Canadian band The Purple Helmets first formed back in 1988, becoming a big name across the country with their fetching songcraft and raucous indie power pop. But the band is back and making waves with a cool rock sound we intriguingly saw labelled as “Canadiana.”

Introducing: Sicksense

Arizona-based Sicksense combine call-and-response male and female vocals, rapped verses, engaging choruses and intense screams in a fascinating, nimble and punishing nu-metal sound they describe as “authentic, energetic and innovative.”
