NEWMEDS offer up an intriguing 'genre-bending' sound that fuses its members' previous involvement in everything from black metal and Mathcore through to punk, emo and garage indie
New Band of the Week: NEWMEDS
New Band of the Week: Runaway Hounds
Wolverhampton newcomers Runaway Hounds are making a real name for themselves on the UK indie rock scene with their fun, catchy anthemic indie rock sound.
Introducing: The Garage Flowers
Camden dwelling quartet The Garage Flowers epitomise everything you expect from the north London region, honing a sound they describe to us as "dirty sweet glamorous indie rock'n'roll of the highest quality" and "drunken guitar pop." The Garage Flowers story begins with Joe Capaldi (vocals, guitar) and Jonny Webber (guitar) becoming disillusioned with the music scene in... Continue Reading →
New Band of the Week: Mr Wu’s Pigs
From just about the most south-eastern town in England comes an engaging punky grungey sound that could easily have dropped out of the US west coast in the early 1990s. Deal, in Kent, based one-man band Mr Wu's Pigs offer up a fun garage-punk meets post-punk, grunge meets fuzz-pop sound that the man behind it... Continue Reading →
Introducing: Man Shaped Wolf
I love a band name that involves wolves, mainly from the time me and a few pals (admittedly drunkenly) came up with the pipedream of a band called We Were Wolves many years ago. And on a similar theme, that brings us to London-based rockers Man Shaped Wolf, whose name I love and, luckily, their... Continue Reading →
New Band of the Week: 99% COBRA
Hull newcomers 99% COBRA pack a venomous bite with their intriguing 'party metal' combination of big riffs and angry lyrics. Or, in their words: "Angry music disguised as Oasis." But, if you were intrigued about what the other 1% comprises then, well, you'll have to stay that way as the band flatly refuse to reveal... Continue Reading →
New Band of the Week: Oceans On Mars
At 17 years of age, Northwich quintet Oceans On Mars are definitely the youngest band we've interviewed on the site, and they may well be among the most talented and promising. The band first began when Joe Sant (vocals) and Angus Scott (lead guitar) created a two-piece covers band in year nine and won their... Continue Reading →
Gig Review: SHVPES, COVE, wars & Endea @ The Anvil, Bournemouth
Coming into Saturday night's gig in Bournemouth, I'd had a few words from one song stuck in my head for a few days: "I've got this morbid fascination." So perhaps it was fate that that was the very song that SHVPES chose to open their set with - and what a set it was. The... Continue Reading →
Introducing: Passive
A couple of weeks ago we brought you the second single from Watford alternative rockers Passive. We sat down with the band ahead of the release to find out more about the five-piece who met at school and began playing music together when they were 17. Having only officially formed as Passive in July 2017... Continue Reading →
New Band of the Week: The Hideaways
Bristol rockers The Hideaways have honed a raucously engaging sound that puts them right up there with the most exciting new bands we've met over the last couple of years. The quartet of Danny Pugh (vocals and guitars), Tim Burden (guitar and synth), Sam Bendall-Weeks (bass) and Jack Ford (drums) formed last summer after Danny and... Continue Reading →
