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 →
They may be approaching a decade together as a band but Black Country-hailing rockers Liberty Lies are only just getting started. Lead vocalist Shaun Richards, guitarists Josh Pritchett and Liam Billings and drummer Adam Stevens have just been joined by a new bassist, who they believe is the catalyst to bigger and better things for the...

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 →

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).

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 →
