Your guide to new rock, metal and punk bands worldwide
We've featured a few Irish bands recently, but none of them are quite as heavy or rocky as Sonera. The alternative rockers from the south-east of Ireland have crafted an infectious brand of hooky, gritty riffs and catchy vocals. The quartet of Oisín Wolfe (lead vocals and rhythm guitar), James Brown (lead guitar and backing vocals), Rory Cooper (bass... Continue Reading →
We're going all old school punk on you for this week's New Band of the Week, with South London rockers Pretty Pistol. The quartet of Laura (vocals), Billy (guitar), Rich (bass) and Emma (drums) have been together a little over a year and released debut EP Bones last month. We had a chat with lead vocalist...

It seems this is a week for writing about bands making long overdue albums, as following in the footsteps of Texan legends At The Drive In are Sheffield rockers Order Of Voices with their superb second album Constancy. Seven years on from their self-titled debut album the five-piece are back with a bang, but it's... Continue Reading →
Hampshire duo Silent Mode are everything you don't expect from their misleading band name - on the contrary, their huge desert / astro rock sound is set to rock your world. The duo of Ched, on guitars and vocals, and drummer Stephen started their first band together way back in 2005 but over the years came... Continue Reading →
They may not be a new band as such, but after 16 years away the re-emergence of Texas' At The Drive In almost feels like discovering a new band. Having been away for so long, there's more than likely rock lovers out there who aren't aware of how great this band was back in their... Continue Reading →
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...

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 →
