Your guide to new rock, metal and punk bands worldwide
We're particularly excited about introducing to this band, as it's one we've been wanting to write about since first discovering them play a particularly engaging gig a few months ago. We saw Brighton rock trio The Rocket Dolls supporting Lightscape and Maven in Camden back in November, and were blown away by their hard-hitting, energetic... Continue Reading →
We're delighted to bring you our first Northern Irish band discovery, in the form of exciting new indie rockers Red House , who only released their debut single in November. The Belfast quartet of Caolan 'Cazza' Donaghy (guitar and lead vocals), Adam McCallan (guitar), Darragh Tibbs (drums) and Odhran Cassidy (bass) formed just over a year ago and quickly...

When Canadian instrumental metal trio The Dead Centuries describe their approach as "futuristic and dangerous," it's safe to say our interest was piqued. Were they going all Keanu on us and delving into The Matrix, or joining John Connor in taking on Skynet? Unfortunately neither, but what they are doing is concocting pure guitar shredaliciousness...

One of the coolest things emerging from this once extremely sleazy region of Paris is the... Continue Reading →
If My Dinosaur Life sounds familiar then no, you're not going mad, these Italian rockers were so inspired by the Motion City Soundtrack album that they borrowed its title as their band name. The five-piece from Cremona, a town in northern Italy famed for its violin making, began as a project back in 2010 largely... Continue Reading →
If you love energetic, catchy, riff-heavy indie infused rock then Phoenix quartet New Chums will tick all your boxes. The quartet have honed a sound that exudes the sunny California vibes, which comes across in bundles on debut EP See It For Myself. They started life when California native Seth Boyack (lead vocals and guitar) moved to... Continue Reading →
Years on from spending days of her childhood staring at the bright blue cover of Weezer's self-titled album daydreaming of a record deal of her own, French singer / songwriter Pamela Hüte is now living out that dream of being a rockstar. She's gone it alone in a solo career and honed a fun brand of rock... Continue Reading →
The phrase "It's a bit heavier than most of our previous stuff" is linguistic music to our ears here at GigRadar Towers. Which leads us perfectly onto Brighton indie rockers Dove House.
