Your guide to new rock, metal and punk bands worldwide
When we met York rockers InVisions back in June frontman Ben Ville told us to "expect heavy, brutal and punchy verses with catchy choruses" from the upcoming launch of their debut album. And the quartet certainly haven't disappointed with the launch of the brilliantly brash, yet seductively melodic Never Nothing on Friday. The album kicks... Continue Reading →
If you love the fusion of melodic choruses with hard-hitting riffs and the combination of melodic vocals with contrasting screams, with a bit of synth effects thrown in for good measure, then Leeds rockers FAULTLINES are going to be right up your street. The quintet of Ryan Booth (vocals), Chris McIntosh and Benji Wilson (guitars), Lee... Continue Reading →

British metal music is in a hell of a good place right now, and you can add to the ever-evolving mix the brutally heavy sound of Leeds rockers VALUES.

EAT DIRT are angry. They want to eat dirt they're so angry. Or, do they want US to eat dirt? Either way, they want to get their anger across in a fast, sharp statement. The band formed towards the end of last year, in the wake of the spiralling storm of political idiocy and rising... Continue Reading →
Kingston rockers Harbour Sharks have mastered the art of blending big heavy metalcore with moments of deliciously catchy melody. This ability has, inevitably, led to comparisons to certain bands and, as a massive fan of the beasts that are Beartooth, it was music to my ears to be introduced to them as 'for fans of...
