Your guide to new rock, metal and punk bands worldwide
This week I've been listening to a great new track from a band that I can't help but describe as 'the British Fall Out Boy.' Drawing comparisons to the pop-rock legends that are FOB is quite some claim, yet Stourbridge rockers Of Kings and Captains have a special sound that you can't help but enjoy and singalong to. With vocals... Continue Reading →
Three years ago, I went along to a random gig at The Barfly in Camden with my mate before he flew out to live in New Zealand with his girlfriend. That night we met the lead singer of a band called City of Ashes, with whom I discussed my plans to start a blog about new bands.... Continue Reading →

It's not very often you discover a new band that not only sound fantastic, but are so new that they've never played a live show. And it's not very often you hear an awesome metalcore song about Pokémon Go. However, German metal duo Breakdown Bros are not your regular metalcore band. The German duo has never...

Rock music probably isn't the number one export that springs to mind when you think of Italy, even less so the Italian city of Parma - which is more famous for its ham than it is guitar solos and smashing drums.
