Your guide to new rock, metal and punk bands worldwide
Having listened to White Noise Radio for little more than a minute I knew we were onto something special. The Bristolian quartet have honed a particularly Incubus-like sound with deceptively heavy riffs and vocals fused with interesting melodies, driving basslines and wild drums that I can't help but keep listening to. White Noise Radio have... Continue Reading →
When we first met Blackpool rap-rockers Eye The Bomb we were instantly intrigued by their self-description: "Hip-Hop Punk-Funk-Fuckery Rock-Riffed up to Buggery." Try saying that after a few jars of ale. Thankfully, the rap-rockers are not just about fancy tongue-twisters though. Garth 'GGGarth' Richardson, who produced Rage Against The Machine’s self-titled debut album as well as working with... Continue Reading →
Coming out of York we've discovered a very exciting new band who've crafted an aggressive brand of heavy metal packed with attitude but also plenty of melody.

Jack The Envious started life as vocalist Nir Perlman and guitarist Guy Avnon back in 2011, adding bassist Guy Checkarov... Continue Reading →
The band name may give it away, but Leeds rockers Weirds are not normal. The four-piece, who define their sound as "sludgey, amphibious rock" are a thrilling combination of big rocking riffs and almost mystical, but totally cool psychedelia. The quartet of Aidan Razzall (vocals and keys), David Nash (drums), Zachary Thomas (guitar) and Matthew... Continue Reading →
Essex five-piece Tigress are back with a bang with their second EP Like It Is, which is chocked full of the band's powerful, singalong rock. The record sees the Chelmsford rockers, fresh from a tour with punk sensations Counterfeit., justify their position as one of the most exciting up-and-coming British bands around - with Kate...
