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.
Introducing: Dark Bloom
Leicester trio Dark Bloom offer up a groovy, riff-heavy rock sound that, in their words, "makes you want to dance, cry and leave little to the imagination."
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: Evil Cathedral
The ongoing pandemic has resulted in many of us having more time on our hands to start new hobbies and work on new projects. That was the case for Oxfordshire-based music programmer Tez, who used the 11 weeks he had off work to launch solo hard rock project Evil Cathedral.
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.
Introducing: Interstate Drive
Interstate Drive have honed a funky indie sound that sets out to do something a little different to the norm and what is widely expected of them in the modern music industry.
Introducing: Dirty Power
With a band name like Dirty Power you're well within your rights to expect some filthy, heavy, hard rocking goodness, and the Dublin-based trio well and truly deliver on those expectations.
Introducing: VRSTY
New York City rockers VRSTY are on a mission to prove wrong the theory that everything has done before. The band offer up an unusual fusion of R&B and even pop-inspired vocals with heavier metal growls alongside huge guitar riffs, metallic grooves and elements of post-hardcore.
Introducing: Another Now
Eindhoven band Another Now have honed a thrilling metalcore sound that's laced with violent guitars and unrelenting rhythms, alongside tech metal influences, electronic noises and plenty of intense shredding. And they're yet another band to add to the list of exciting new Dutch metal bands.
