Rock duos seem to be on-trend right now, and we've got another awesome new duo to add to the growing list in Scottish rockers Huxtable.

Last night we headed up to The Black Heart in Camden for a feast of riff-tastic rock'n'roll to see our former New Band of the Week AT THE SUN support east Midlands trio THEIA alongside Anonymous.

We've met plenty of bands that have two or maybe three members that chip in on singing duties, but one that amasses four vocalists may well be a first for us.

And the quartet certainly haven't disappointed with the launch of the brilliantly brash, yet seductively melodic Never Nothing on Friday. The album kicks... Continue Reading →
A few months ago we introduced you to solo artist and Pendragon backing singer Verity White, who is embarking on a rockier approach beginning with today's launch of new single I Don't Care. This is the first single from Verity's upcoming rock album Breaking Out, due for release in October, that she is funding through... Continue Reading →
Our New Band of the Week feature has been away for a little while, so to mark its return with a bang it's time for something awesomely heavy in the form of Derby quintet The Cartographer. The band fuses huge riffs, djent, screamed vocals and wild driving drums to form their brutal metal sound, which... Continue Reading →
Back in November we featured Watford quartet Gold Key as our New Band of the Week, just a matter of weeks after they formed.
