Your guide to new rock, metal and punk bands worldwide
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...

My first introduction to this week's New Band of the Week was their claim that they are "breathing new life into the world of rock music." This is quite some claim from Ipswich rockers In My Disguise, but thankfully one that they more than live up to. The four-piece was formed as a project by... Continue Reading →
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 →
Music shops up and down the country will be celebrating real music, promoting the benefits of physically owning music, and thanking the people that support the industry on Record Store Day this Saturday (22 April). The event will see over 500 records make their way exclusively into independent record shops across the UK. This offers a chance to get your... 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 →
This week's New Band of the Week is something very different to what we've covered so far on this site, in the form of Newcastle's post-punk indie duo Lost On Me. The couple and musical pairing of vocalist and guitarist Martin Downing and bassist Jazmine Rains kicked off Lost On Me towards the beginning of 2016, with their friend... Continue Reading →
This week's New Band of the Week is Cross Wires, an exciting new punk band emerging from the east end of London and Essex. The Bethnal Green / Romford-based quartet of vocalist Jonathan Chapman, guitarist Peter Muller, bassist Pete Letch and drummer Ian Clarke have honed a fast-paced and energetic raw punk sound. In the words of Jonathan:... 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 →
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 →
