Manchester band The Hyena Kill are venturing on a journey into unfamiliar territory, bringing listeners into their world of turmoil with an album that seeks to reconcile personal trauma and pain.
Introducing: Interstate Drive
Interstate Drive have honed a funky indie sound that sets out to do something a little different to the norm and what is widely expected of them in the modern music industry.
Introducing: Midgar
Our prolonged Christmas break is over and, like our first featured artist of 2021, we are back with a bang. Midgar is an unusual band for us, given that they started out more than a decade ago but, after a long hiatus, they're returning with a sound that's hard-hitting and intense yet melodic and intricate.
New Band of the Week: Heriot
Describing themselves as "not for the faint-hearted," Swindon's Heriot offer up a violent assault on your earholes with a crushing hardcore sound.
New Band of the Week: Kicked In The Teeth
Nothing quite shakes off the Monday morning blues than a fix of energetic, frenetic, fast-paced hardcore punk. So expect fun, energetic, enthusiastic punk laced with metal influences from the exciting sound of Northwich's Kicked In The Teeth.
Introducing: Milk White Throat
Fusing progressive rock elements coming from a death metal background is always going to conjure up something pretty exciting, and that's exactly what we get from Brighton band Milk White Throat. The band offer up thrilling riffs, cheeky guitar solos and pounding rhythms in a heavy, intense and encapsulating sound.
New Band of the Week: Creak
Let us transport you to a dark place fuelled by chaos and desperation with Newcastle quartet Creak. The band's savage sound fuses groove metal, nu-metal and post-hardcore intensity with moments of eerie atmosphere and distortion.
New Band of the Week: Demure
Brighton band Demure are using a foundation of classic rock and building a wide range of musical influences on top of it, from funk and blues to psychedelia, reggae and even hip-hop. The result is an intoxicating fusion of delicious riffs, catchy vocals, funky instrumentals and plenty of musical diversity.
New Band of the Week: Raiders
My formative years of rock and metal were largely shaped by bands that emerged from the Welsh valleys in the early 2000s. Exciting quartet Raiders are a band that's well and truly taking on the mantle some 20 years later, having also been a part of that original Welsh scene.
New Band of the Week: Lastelle
Oxfordshire band LASTELLE offer up a cacophony of post-hardcore meets post-rock goodness in their delicious fusion of ambient and atmospheric instrumentals with powerful dual vocals.
