Your guide to new rock, metal and punk bands worldwide
Hailing yourself as the 'forefront of a new generation of rock' is a bold claim for any band to make. Fortunately for new UK rockers Fragile Things, and you wonderfully lucky listeners, they backup these words with their music. The quartet, who hail from Milton Keynes and Brighton, are fronted by the epic vocals of Richie... Continue Reading →
Denver rockers Owleye certainly cannot be typecast as your typical metalcore band. The quartet draws influence from all manner of music genres to form their unique metal sound. There are echoes of the likes of Of Mice & Men and Architects in their music, and the band describe taking influence from bands like Underoath, Chiodos,... Continue Reading →
It's safe to say Malta is not exactly known as a hotbed of emerging musical talent. The island off the south of Italy is one of the smallest and most densely populated countries in the world with 450,000 people living in just 122 square miles, with perhaps its main claim to fame being that Valletta is...

It's probably fair to say that no-one has released a single on cassette (Google it if you're under the age of 25) since about 1995, but London-based electro rockers PURS are defying the modern digital age. The funky synthy rock band will be releasing two new singles, Girl In Love and Crush, on limited edition cassette... Continue Reading →
Today we're introducing you to something wholly unique and potentially exciting, The Earthwalker Project. Not only does it have an amazing name, but the solo metal project of Joe Kearney also sounds pretty damn good too. The Earthwalker Project began in earnest in August, and sees Kearney become the ultimate one-man band as he takes on guitars, bass,... Continue Reading →

Idolising Nova are an intriguing new talent, who've swiftly gone from cobbling together music in their drummer's bedroom to making a real name for themselves in the music industry. The trio of Jack Fulton Smith (lead singer and bass), Kris Lee (guitar and synth) and Kyle O’Sullivan (drums) only officially formed at the end of the summer. But while you might...

The great Kate Bush once said "music is special because it makes you feel something and hits an emotive space." Albeit slightly paraphrased, this quote is extremely apt given Jon Gaskin, the self-confessed Kate Bush-obsessed lead singer of Fort Hope, creates music that it's impossible not to become emotionally attached to. The Hertfordshire-based trio is one of the most... Continue Reading →
Last night I watched UK rockers The Fallen State and fellow support act Pop Evil completely steal the show from headliners 3 Doors Down. We previously wrote about The Fallen State when we announced they were set to support 3 Doors Down, and they did their reputation the world of good with last night's performance....

One of my formative albums first getting into rock music was Jimmy Eat World's Bleed American record way back in 2001. However, I'd still not seen the Arizona-based quintet play live, until last night at the impressive venue of Troxy in East London. One thing to note about last night is that sitting down for...
