Your guide to new rock, metal and punk bands worldwide
Kent-based rockers Best Intentions have honed an intriguing style of experimental rock with all manner of psychedelic elements. The quartet of Jack Theedom (lead vocals, guitar, songwriter), Dave Nunn (drums and backing vocals), Callum Pope (guitar and backing vocals) and Graham Thomas (bass) met, in their words, in the pub as Jack was writing his own songs in downtime from...

In this time of political unease it seems only fair that we deserve bands that can help us voice our concerns as a generation. With Brexit and another General Election looming large on the horizon, London rockers Sisteray could be just the band to provide this requirement. The four-piece of Niall Rowan (vocals), Dan Connolly (guitar), Marco Polo... Continue Reading →
As a brass player myself we've had a sad lack of ska music thus far on this site, so it gives me great pleasure to introduce Bradford-based Analog Bombs. The six-piece aren't quite your standard ska rockers, fusing indie rock with their eclectic trombone and organ sound. It's hugely enjoyable, easy to listen to and infectiously catchy...

In recent weeks we've featured a few guys that have gone down the solo route, and today we're very excited to have our first female solo artist. Cheltenham-based Verity White, who originally comes from Brecon in Wales, has experience on the rock scene from providing backing vocals for long-running rockers Pendragon, but is now all set...

The term singer/songwriter is often one that's typecast into a certain style, but Leicester-based Dan Wright is on a mission to rewrite the term with his hooky blend of what he has termed 'acoustic indie blues.' Dan launches his new EP Drunken Words and Sober Thoughts on Friday, so we caught up with him to find out what... Continue Reading →
It's definitely not every day we receive great music from New Zealand in the inbox, but we did this week in the form of System Corporation. The five-piece project combines the rich musical background of their various parts in previous and existing indie bands, including two members of The Datsuns. Having first formed while in Sweden on tour a few years back the exciting... Continue Reading →
New York has a fair claim to being the home of punk, with the likes of Ramones, Blondie and Lou Reed pioneering the genre from the famous east-coast city. Now picking up the mantle are Long Island rockers Bad Mary, who harness that 70s vibe with a modern twist in their energetic, fast-paced punk. Bad Mary began... Continue Reading →
Fresh from the very north-west of the United States we've found something a bit special in the form of THE WITHØUT. The band has honed a sound that crosses the boundaries of multiple elements across the rock spectrum, and is highly influenced by the grit and vigour of its hometown of Portland, Oregon. THE WITHØUT is a creative venture between five... Continue Reading →
It's pretty unusual for us to be writing about a band that's been going for two decades but in the case of Methedras we love their sound so much that we felt they were well worth bringing to your attention. The Italian four-piece, who define themselves wonderfully as a "Thrash-Death-Killing-Machine," are close to celebrating their 21st birthday as a band but... Continue Reading →
Without getting all political on you, unless you've not watched the news or been on social media lately you'll know that terror threats and social injustice are pretty high on the media agenda. This trend has not escaped German metalcore act Artemis Rising, who last week released new single Unchosen, which is all about the ongoing refugee... Continue Reading →
