Nicely in time for the weekend, we have a new offering of new rock and metal for you to feast your ears upon with the fourth episode of our podcast GigRadio.
New GigRadio Episode! The One In Kyoto…
Introducing: Hearts & Hand Grenades
Having played together in cover bands for years, Buffalo, NY's Hearts & Hand Grenades' decision to start making their own music owes much to the Goo Goo Dolls.
Introducing: TrueShot
New Hampshire metalcore quartet TrueShot are a band in the midst of an evolution. Having released their debut EP last year within 12 months of forming, they've since switched things up with an even heavier, lower-tuned sound and a brand new drummer to boot.
Discover This: Deathcrush
Fusing elements of black metal, noise rock and grunge with Eurodance and 90s R'n'B is probably about eclectic and random as music gets. But somehow, Norwegian band Deathcrush make it work in a way that is loud, brash and angsty yet beautiful.
Discover This: Secondhand Habit
We guarantee you'll instantly be hooked on the super-catchy, hard-hitting rock sound of Canadian quartet Secondhand Habit.
New Band of the Week: LUTE
Strap yourself in for an epic start to your week courtesy of heavy progressive rock band LUTE. The Manchester quartet tell us that their epic cinematic sound is almost like listening to a film soundtrack and joke "maybe we'll write a musical one day!"
Discover This: Descent of the Archangel
The Descent of the Archangel sounds like the kind of warning that should have us all locking our doors, sealing the windows and hiding away below ground for as long as possible.
Discover This: Second To Safety
Pittsburgh band Second To Safety make an interesting observation that their home city, famed historically for steel and blast furnaces is now a booming health and medical centre.
Introducing: REFUGE
Kenya might not be the first country that jumps to mind when you think about countries with a thriving rock and metal scene. But, according to young Nairobi-based band REFUGE, they are part of growing rock revolution in the East African country.
New Band of the Week: The Routines
Welsh rockers The Routines offer up a highly relatable brand of indie rock influenced by the tediousness of full-time menial work and enjoyable social observations.
