Having only officially formed as Passive in July 2017... Continue Reading →
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 →
Northamptonshire rockers Voices From The Fuselage have honed a fascinating sound that blurs the boundaries of tech metal, progressive rock and post-rock in a delicious manner - leading some to laud them as Britain's answer to Coheed & Cambria. It's high praise indeed, and one that frontman Ashe O'Hara admits he doesn't quite see but... Continue Reading →

With a name like this, how could we possibly not name Barbarian Hermit as our New Band of the Week? And when you hear their music, which they delightfully describe using the 3 G's of "Gargantuan, groove and gravy," our choice is only further validated. The Manchester doom and sludge scene super-group are proud creators... Continue Reading →
"P!nk is completely badass and stands up fully for what she believes in and she doesn’t care an inch what anybody thinks of her," says Flawless Carbon’s frontwoman, Lauren Diamond.
