Your guide to new rock, metal and punk bands worldwide
Today, we have reached the milestone of the 1,000th article to be published on GigRadar. Since setting the site up from scratch in August 2016, we've covered new bands from all over the world and I'm pleased to say that numbers are only on the rise.
We love a good one man band and we love Finnish metal. So by combining those two things in Finnish doom meets dark metal solo artist Infirmum, we think we've found something pretty special.
We've got more great new Italian rock today in the form of Ferrara pop-punk quintet 2Lightyears, who offer up plenty of much-needed positivity in their engaging, upbeat sound.
Expect the unexpected when it comes to Pennsylvania band AM0RA, who throw in elements of pop-punk with emo, metal and more not only on a song-by-song basis but even within the same song.
We have a smorgasboard of new music from great new bands available to treat your ears to with our Easter special GigRadio podcast episode, which was recorded on Easter Monday.
Radars are on full beam as GigRadar meets RADARS! The Hull band have honed an engaging guitar-driven sound that'll carry you to back to the indie rock heyday of the 2000s, and which they describe as "catchy, dancey and fun."
We went through a spell of discovering a host of great new Italian rock bands a while back but, since then, things seem to have slowed down a bit. So we were delighted when the music of Deaf Autumn popped into our inbox.
If you like your metal dark, fierce, intense and unrelentingly heavy then we think you're going to love the sound of Russian newcomers Renunciation.
They may have the most emo band name going but Los Angeles-based band All My Friends Hate Me offer up an engaging garage rock meets garage punk style.
Listening to Belgian band Second Opinion made us feel like we'd been transported back a couple of decades to the classic pop-punk era. The quartet offer up a delicious fast-paced sound that they describe as "energetic, catchy, meaningful."
