Oxfordshire rockers I Cried Wolf made quite the impression with their debut EP back in 2015, only to see a three-year hiatus brought to an end in fine fashion at the end of last year.
Introducing: I Cried Wolf
Introducing: Two And A Half Girl

New Band of the Week: Dayshifter
Newcastle's Dayshifter offer up that most intriguing of combinations, a seriously heavy, dark melodic hardcore sound accompanied by passionate, heartfelt vocals.

Introducing: Xyhon
When Xyhon describe their music to us as "heavy, dirty and chuggy," we're instantly hooked. The Milton Keynes heavy metal newcomers like to mix things up, but one common theme is raw emotion that, in their words, "makes you want to headbang and throw those horns in the air." The quintet of Richard Lloyd-Davies (vocals), Luke... Continue Reading →
