On The Radar | Final Thirteen – Wide Eyed Lullabies
We're kicking off On The Radar with Northern Irish band Final Thirteen's fifth single, Wide Eyed Lullabies, which was released yesterday. The power trio of Ax (vocals), James-Darren (J.D., guitar and vocals) and Doobes (drums and vocals) blend elements of metal, rock and indie into an engaging sound they describe as "M’indie rock."
Introducing: Ward XVI
When a band has two members dedicated to "theatrics" and builds a narrative around a serial killer, you can guarantee we'll be intrigued. And British shock rockers Ward XVI don't disappoint with a diverse, dark and moody metal sound that they describe as "mad, eclectic and innovative."
