Your guide to new rock, metal and punk bands worldwide
We've talked a lot about the army of new bands emerging from the UK metal scene, but one of the most exciting we've discovered yet is Kent metalcore quintet Cove. They've honed a special combination of truly terrifyingly heavy riffs and vocals with moments of melody and delicious harmonies. Initially formed as a project between... Continue Reading →
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 deliciously edgy, hard-hitting vocals of singer and rhythm guitarist Olivia Donelon are perfectly complimented by a big rock backdrop to form a ridiculously catchy sound. The Congleton quartet, completed by lead guitarist Alfie... Continue Reading →
London-based L Sicario have honed a deliciously cool brand of desert rock, which just oozes funkiness. The band is formed of London school friends Chris (guitar) and Mike (bass), who lived with Niko (lead vocals and guitar) at Leeds University. Niko joined him in the capital, they started jamming together, realised they were onto something... Continue Reading →
South Wales quintet Contintents are taking the term 'heavy-hitting' to the extreme with their new music, which they describe to us as "a blend of chaos and melody thrown at you like a solid right hook." Continents began as a project back in 2012 and progressed rapidly to the line-up of Phil Cross (vocals), Darryl... Continue Reading →
Ten years ago I began my fledgling journalism career as a junior reporter in the sleepy Gloucestershire hills of the Cotswolds. The idyllic village of Chipping Campden was one of my more interesting sources of news and one of the places that I remember with fondness, partly as it brought me two of my favourite...
