New solo artist SAFIRE oozes anger and rage in a sexually charged fusion of metal, pop, electro and hardcore punk.
Introducing: SAFIRE
New Band of the Week: World On Fire
If you love modern rock, synth-powered 90s rave and 80s rock, then do we have a treat for you with exciting new Hertfordshire electronic rock outfit World On Fire.
New Band of the Week: Grief Ritual
As someone going through a significant grief process, I can testify that seriously soul-destroyingly heavy music can often be just the tonic. Birmingham trio Grief Ritual offer that in abundance with a fusion of death and black metal, hardcore and metalcore that they describe as "miserable, unrelenting and crushing." Perfect.
New Band of the Week: Caustic Waves
We've featured several "one-man-bands" through the years of running GigRadar, but only one has ever made it to our New Band of the Week feature. But we've now doubled that tally as we unearthed Glasgow-based Caustic Waves' nostalgic alternative post-hardcore.
New Band of the Week: Muscle Vest
If you're a fan of the weird and bizarre and you're generally a bit fed up with the way of the world (let's face it, who isn't?) then Muscle Vest could be just the tonic.
New Band of the Week: State Of You
Newcomers State of You proudly proclaim "This is British rock'n'roll" ahead of a raucous conclusion to their second single. And the band are an exciting new addition to the British scene, more than living up to the promise that if you like heavy, fast rock and your instinct is to run towards the moshpit, then they are the band for you.
New Band of the Week: Le Rox
Exciting new East London band Le Rox offer up a loud, brash and angsty offering of old-school punk that's big on anger and emotions in what they describe as "sad girl sounds."
New Band of the Week: If I Die Tonight
Greater Manchester band If I Die Tonight are on their way to crafting a sound that they believe you won't hear anywhere else.
New Band of the Week: We Are Many We Are Legion
There aren't too many people whose idea of a dream band is a Slipknot-esque collective backed by a horn section - even this writer, who grew up as a trumpet player. But that's exactly what we get from intriguing new band We Are Many We Are Legion, who describe their fusion of metal and brass as "challenging, uncomfortable and melodic."
New Band of the Week: Pale
British newcomers Pale offer up a thrilling and intoxicating rock sound that builds you up with powerful guitars and vocals then brings you back down with warm ambient moments and meaningful lyrics.
