There aren't too many bands that can claim to have been crowned "the world's best new band" but that's the case for Sinoptik, who can now also add the honour of being the first Ukrainian band to feature on GigRadar.
Introducing: Sinoptik
Introducing: Cottonmouth
Blending classic heavy metal with influences of grunge and progressive rock, Nottingham's Cottonmouth are very much onto a winning formula. The quartet have honed an engaging sound that they describe as "thunderous metal riffage," which we love.
Introducing: Mvsic2Mvrder2
Obviously, we don't condone people killing people but, if there was such a thing as the sound of killing, then maybe this could be it.
Introducing: The Rhubarb
Glasgow band The Rhubarb have honed an intoxicating dark and doomy stoner rock sound that fuses dual vocals with deliciously heavy fuzzy riffs.
New Band of the Week: TYRANTS
Blending the elements of hardcore and deathcore is only going to result in a pretty damn heavy concoction, and that's exactly the case with Swindon band TYRANTS who offer up what they describe as "stupidly heavy slams."
Introducing: Crown The King
Irish quintet Crown The King were raised on early 2000s pop-punk, and bring all the energy of that classic time period into their own brand of engaging punk rock sound.
Introducing: Not Now Norman
We may have a little GigRadar first today as we introduce a first intergenerational band in Berwick-upon-Tweed rockers Not Now Norman. The Northumberland band have honed a feisty rock sound that's gained them a reputation for in-your-face lyrics and direct delivery.
New Band of the Week: Sadness & Complete Disappointment
If a band name could aptly summarise the current events in the world then that would surely be Sadness & Complete Disappointment.
Introducing: After Silence
After more than four years of running GigRadar, we've finally found our first Mexican metal band in Mexico City-based metalcore quartet After Silence. And it's been well worth the wait as, probably a little bit offensively, the band reveal that "people are shocked when they realise that we are Mexican."
Introducing: The Hyena Kill
Manchester band The Hyena Kill are venturing on a journey into unfamiliar territory, bringing listeners into their world of turmoil with an album that seeks to reconcile personal trauma and pain.
