Your guide to new rock, metal and punk bands worldwide
A few years ago we headed along to see our friends in Defences play a gig at The Crowndale Club in Camden. The headline act that evening saw the six members of As Everything Unfolds pile onto the tiny stage and blow our minds, led by what we described as "the incredible vocals of Charlie Rolfe."
Exciting Essex metal band Beyond Extinction are on a mission to become "one of the big UK metal bands" with their fusion of metalcore, deathcore and death metal elements.
Irish quartet The Clockworks have mastered the art of rolling relatable stories and colloquial tales into engaging, high-energy rocky post-punk anthems.
A metal band with two dedicated vocalists is a fairly rare phenomenon but that's the case with Trowbridge band Severed Illusions.
Brand new Irish metal duo Cell Games take us back 20 years or so in time with a sound they hope provides a revival of nu-metal in a bid to "rival the best turn-of-the-century bands."
As the daughter of Zeus, Artemis was one of the most venerated Ancient Greek deities who signified, among many things, love, strength and the protection of girls and women. And we think you're going to love the strong, adrenaline pumping vibes of Southampton's "ballsy bubblegum punk rockers" Artemis.
Strap yourself in for a progressive metal rollercoaster ride with Australian rockers Acolyte. The band have honed a progressive metal sound that drops you into melancholic, ambient troughs and picks you up with dramatic climactic peaks that they describe as "epic, emotive and powerful."
We promised you more bands from the Emerald Isle and, almost immediately, here's another in brand new rock duo Future Lows. The band describe their engaging, anthemic sound as a "step forwards" for Irish rock music due to its modern approach.
We're increasingly seeing bands using electronic elements to redefine what we know as metal with new sounds and unconventional approaches. But Irish band Neon Empire are taking that crossover to even higher levels with an "ambitious, adventurous and rule-breaking" electro metalcore sound.
We're doing something a little different today as we introduce you to intriguing Canadian metalcore meets emocore band Wthcnvctn.
