Your guide to new rock, metal and punk bands worldwide
At 17 years of age, Northwich quintet Oceans On Mars are definitely the youngest band we've interviewed on the site, and they may well be among the most talented and promising. The band first began when Joe Sant (vocals) and Angus Scott (lead guitar) created a two-piece covers band in year nine and won their... Continue Reading →
Coming into Saturday night's gig in Bournemouth, I'd had a few words from one song stuck in my head for a few days: "I've got this morbid fascination." So perhaps it was fate that that was the very song that SHVPES chose to open their set with - and what a set it was. The... Continue Reading →

A couple of weeks ago we brought you the second single from Watford alternative rockers Passive. We sat down with the band ahead of the release to find out more about the five-piece who met at school and began playing music together when they were 17.

We don't hear of too many bands out of North Carolina, but Fayeteville's MKNLY make up for it with their fun, energetic, punk-fuelled rocky sound - which frontman Benny tells us has largely been inspired by UK's own You Me At Six.

The band has formed to stand up against the machine in this politically challenging era, creating powerful music that inspires people, resonates with their emotions and encourages...

Bristol rockers The Hideaways have honed a raucously engaging sound that puts them right up there with the most exciting new bands we've met over the last couple of years. The quartet of Danny Pugh (vocals and guitars), Tim Burden (guitar and synth), Sam Bendall-Weeks (bass) and Jack Ford (drums) formed last summer after Danny and... Continue Reading →
On the day a metal band, who we're not going to publicly out, released a Christmas song, we totally ignore the fact that Christmas is seven weeks away and give you some deliciously good rock and metal tunes to enjoy instead. This week we've got a couple of new EPs from British metal bands, new... Continue Reading →
Expect big grooves aplenty as Stoke-on-Trent's Black Coast unleash their second bout of aggressive metal tomorrow. As the band explain: "A lot of people tell us that our music makes them want to bang and nod their head, so we'd say it's definitely heavy groove with a lot of aggression and melody thrown in as...

If the name Filth Wizard alone didn't have you intrigued, then the New Zealand band's self-descriptor surely will: "Imagine a sorcerer in the middle of a swamp, surrounded by a forest filled with strange, lurking creatures. It’s a little bit sludgy, a little bit doomy, pretty heavy, melancholic and just a touch psychedelic." The instrumental... Continue Reading →
