Your guide to new rock, metal and punk bands worldwide
We may have a little GigRadar first today as we introduce a first intergenerational band in Berwick-upon-Tweed rockers Not Now Norman. The Northumberland band have honed a feisty rock sound that's gained them a reputation for in-your-face lyrics and direct delivery.
Hail, a Southampton-based, Swindon-born solo artist, offers up a gothic rock sound she describes as "emotional, dramatic and dark."
Leicester trio Dark Bloom offer up a groovy, riff-heavy rock sound that, in their words, "makes you want to dance, cry and leave little to the imagination."
If a band name could aptly summarise the current events in the world then that would surely be Sadness & Complete Disappointment.
After more than four years of running GigRadar, we've finally found our first Mexican metal band in Mexico City-based metalcore quartet After Silence. And it's been well worth the wait as, probably a little bit offensively, the band reveal that "people are shocked when they realise that we are Mexican."
The ongoing pandemic has resulted in many of us having more time on our hands to start new hobbies and work on new projects. That was the case for Oxfordshire-based music programmer Tez, who used the 11 weeks he had off work to launch solo hard rock project Evil Cathedral.
Manchester band The Hyena Kill are venturing on a journey into unfamiliar territory, bringing listeners into their world of turmoil with an album that seeks to reconcile personal trauma and pain.
There seems to be a strange disdain from some parts for bands formed of just two members. That's pretty hard to understand when it comes to a duo like Broozer, who refuse to conform to one genre and are more than happy to mix things up from song to song.
Interstate Drive have honed a funky indie sound that sets out to do something a little different to the norm and what is widely expected of them in the modern music industry.
With a band name like Dirty Power you're well within your rights to expect some filthy, heavy, hard rocking goodness, and the Dublin-based trio well and truly deliver on those expectations.
