Chasing Cadence, one of our favourite up-and-coming British bands, have released a new video for Watching The World, which is taken from the band's recent Destroy Something Beautiful EP.

Fresh from touring with the likes of The Amity Affliction and... Continue Reading →
Love brutal, shouty rock? Yep, me too. That's why I'm currently loving While She Sleeps' new single Civil Isolation. The Sheffield rockers have followed up last year's brilliant Brainwashed album with sounds like more of the same. Civil Isolation starts out in brutal fashion, shouty lyrics and a heavy drumbeat before launching into heavily distorted gutar... Continue Reading →
