Your guide to new rock, metal and punk bands worldwide
We recently met a really exciting new band all the way from the other side of the world in Australia, who tell us they've been described as Alexisonfire meets Every Time I Die meets letlive. At which point, our minds melted. Adelaide-hailing Emecia are far too modest to cast such assertions, instead referring to themselves... Continue Reading →
Post-hardcore rockers Jack The Envious have one of the more interesting background stories we've heard of, with the three founding members having formed the band during their military service back in their homeland of Israel. Jack The Envious started life as vocalist Nir Perlman and guitarist Guy Avnon back in 2011, adding bassist Guy Checkarov... Continue Reading →
We've met a fair few bands from Italy in the last few months, but none (be it Italian or not, for that matter) are quite like Milanese rockers Rougenoire. The five-piece have honed an awesome classic rock sound with their own unique spin thanks to Francesca 'Black Mamba' Gheza's commanding, appealingly accented vocals. The title... Continue Reading →
When Tennessee rockers Rusty Shipp were introduced to us as a combination of Beatles-esque songwriting and riff-heavy rockier influences like Muse and Nirvana, you can forgive us for getting a little bit excited. Of course, it's easy to put words and comparisons against any band, but the trio from Nashville more than justify the claims... Continue Reading →
There's few things better in music than metal bands that smash out huge, hooky riffs, which is exactly what we get in abundance from this week's New Band of the Week, Essex's Beneath The Embers. The quartet of lead singer and guitarist Lewy Roland, lead guitarist Clint Bredin, bassist Charlie and drummer Spence rose from the... Continue Reading →
As a special Sunday treat we're bringing you one of the heaviest, most technical bands we've encountered, and our first 'math-metal' band in the form of Los Angeles' The Conduit. The progressive metal project began as music that vocalist Jeff Bobbin composed and recorded in his living room, before meeting guitarists Dakota and Dave and drummer Luka in... Continue Reading →
We've brought you bands from all over the world in the last few months, but today sees our very first Spanish band in the form of River Crow, who hail from the town of Ciudad Real. The quartet of the original creator of the project guitarist Chema Fernandez, vocalist Sergio Pozas, bassist Daniel Ruiz aka... Continue Reading →
They may be approaching a decade together as a band but Black Country-hailing rockers Liberty Lies are only just getting started. Lead vocalist Shaun Richards, guitarists Josh Pritchett and Liam Billings and drummer Adam Stevens have just been joined by a new bassist, who they believe is the catalyst to bigger and better things for the...

It's definitely not every day we receive great music from New Zealand in the inbox, but we did this week in the form of System Corporation. The five-piece project combines the rich musical background of their various parts in previous and existing indie bands, including two members of The Datsuns. Having first formed while in Sweden on tour a few years back the exciting... Continue Reading →
New York has a fair claim to being the home of punk, with the likes of Ramones, Blondie and Lou Reed pioneering the genre from the famous east-coast city. Now picking up the mantle are Long Island rockers Bad Mary, who harness that 70s vibe with a modern twist in their energetic, fast-paced punk. Bad Mary began... Continue Reading →
