Your guide to new rock, metal and punk bands worldwide
There’s something quite magical about listening to an album from start to finish. By doing so, you get to wrap yourself in an artist’s vision. Experience music as part of a narrative. Live through the peaks, troughs and appreciate the considered closing. It’s something that’s very far removed from the stream-and-skip Spotify generation we live... Continue Reading →
We've met plenty of bands that have two or maybe three members that chip in on singing duties, but one that amasses four vocalists may well be a first for us.

One-man extreme metal band is one of the more unusual concepts we've come across, but in Liverpool-based Crejuvent we've discovered something that truly is different, yet also entertaining and intriguing. Frontman, and bassist, and guitarist, and producer, and mixer (you get the picture) Federico Spera (Freddy), is a character I can't help but like. When... Continue Reading →

Surrey punk sensations SHADED are everything you could wish for from feel-good pop-punk. The quartet fuses catchy guitar riffs and singalong vocal melodies with driving drums and poppy vibes on their impressive debut EP The Better Man In Me, which is due for release next Friday (1 September). Vocalist Matt East, slightly self-detrimentally, describes the... Continue Reading →
Brutal metal riffs and poetic vocals may not be the most obvious things to place side by side one another, but that's exactly what Scottish five-piece Serenity Came Calling are aiming for. We spoke to guitarist and clean vocalist Ross Dickson off the back of recent single Tenebris, and he summed up the band's sound... Continue Reading →
They make music to swig beers to. They play riffs to headbang with. Their tunes make you want to drive over the speed limit with your windows down and the volume up to 11. Not that we’re advocating doing that, exactly. We’re talking about Walkway, who can only be summed up as the epitome of... Continue Reading →
My first introduction to London rockers AT THE SUN was their self-description of 'no bullshit, no gimmicks, just straight up rock & roll,' which instantly had my interest peaked.
