Your guide to new rock, metal and punk bands worldwide
Camden dwelling quartet The Garage Flowers epitomise everything you expect from the north London region, honing a sound they describe to us as "dirty sweet glamorous indie rock'n'roll of the highest quality" and "drunken guitar pop." The Garage Flowers story begins with Joe Capaldi (vocals, guitar) and Jonny Webber (guitar) becoming disillusioned with the music scene in... Continue Reading →
The Danish city of Roskilde is home to one of Scandinavia's biggest music festivals and a Gothic cathedral that continues to house many Danish Monarchs among its 39 tombs. But now the city has unleashed something equally majestic and a band that can truly put the city on the map in the form of metalcore... Continue Reading →
I love a band name that involves wolves, mainly from the time me and a few pals (admittedly drunkenly) came up with the pipedream of a band called We Were Wolves many years ago. And on a similar theme, that brings us to London-based rockers Man Shaped Wolf, whose name I love and, luckily, their... Continue Reading →
Ireland's God Alone. haven't even finished high school yet but they're making waves as purveyors of dark yet cathartic, largely instrumental music laced with metal overtones, which they describe as "Ministry of sound: post-metal edition." The Cork quintet of Jake O'Driscoll (guitar and occasional vocals), Jack O'Hanlon (drums), Cian Ó Maoláin (bass, even less occasional vocals and electronics), Seán Thompson... Continue Reading →
We've done a fair amount of interviews over the last couple of years, but Sarah Rose immediately diving into the topic of BDSM is very definitely a first for us.

We caught up with the quintet of vocalist Axel Best, guitarists Adam Finlay and Jaya Shinn, bassist Kerry Rowe and drummer Andrew Cooke to get to the bottom of where all that power...

A couple of weeks ago we brought you the second single from Watford alternative rockers Passive. We sat down with the band ahead of the release to find out more about the five-piece who met at school and began playing music together when they were 17. Having only officially formed as Passive in July 2017... Continue Reading →
We don't hear of too many bands out of North Carolina, but Fayeteville's MKNLY make up for it with their fun, energetic, punk-fuelled rocky sound - which frontman Benny tells us has largely been inspired by UK's own You Me At Six. In fact, he tells us MKNLY probably wouldn't have happened at all if it... Continue Reading →
Imagine the world's greatest politically charged protest songs, pop the edgy, powerful vocals of Sophie Urista and delicious brass instruments over the top, and you have Brooklyn's Brass Against. The band has formed to stand up against the machine in this politically challenging era, creating powerful music that inspires people, resonates with their emotions and encourages...

Expect big grooves aplenty as Stoke-on-Trent's Black Coast unleash their second bout of aggressive metal tomorrow. As the band explain: "A lot of people tell us that our music makes them want to bang and nod their head, so we'd say it's definitely heavy groove with a lot of aggression and melody thrown in as...
