Your guide to new rock, metal and punk bands worldwide
Back in November we brought you the raw punk rock sound of Kent's Weekend Recovery as our New Band of the Week and promised you their debut album would be out in February. And, true to our word, it is, and we've had a sneaky preview listen to the quartet's first full-length effort. The band... Continue Reading →
We're particularly excited about introducing to this band, as it's one we've been wanting to write about since first discovering them play a particularly engaging gig a few months ago. We saw Brighton rock trio The Rocket Dolls supporting Lightscape and Maven in Camden back in November, and were blown away by their hard-hitting, energetic... Continue Reading →
Here at GigRadar we're all about promoting new bands and new music, and encouraging people to support 'grassroots' music.

This week it was our pleasure to be invited into the audio realm of the Internet for the very first time. We appeared on our buddy Short Chris' emerging metal podcast, The Short Chris Rock Show, to talk a bit about GigRadar, share our excitement about the emerging UK metal scene, and have a look...

We say band but, well, Grumble Bee is not a band. It's a man, called Jack, who writes as a solo artist that looks and sounds like a big rock band, and it's pretty damn awesome. Having been in bands before Jack Bennett, who hails from Walsden in West Yorkshire, went down the path of... Continue Reading →
The phrase "It's a bit heavier than most of our previous stuff" is linguistic music to our ears here at GigRadar Towers. Which leads us perfectly onto Brighton indie rockers Dove House. The quartet of Jack Peacock (vocals and guitar), Kieran Philbin (guitar), Ish Hussein (bass and vocals), Steve Ray (drums) met at university and, like... Continue Reading →
