Your guide to new rock, metal and punk bands worldwide
After a few weeks away over Christmas it'd only be apt to begin 2017 with a bang. And that is duly delivered in the form of 'online sensations' Dorje. We were first introduced to the Brighton-based rockers as being 'the biggest band you won't have heard of,' and from that moment on we were desperate to... Continue Reading →

From the moment Hoodwinker launches into life with a brutal burst of low-tuned guitars and crashing drums, followed by Rou Reynolds' booming "This is the voice of God," you just know we're in for something special. The trademark Enter Shikari choruses are there in all their glory, but the general feel of the new track is much heavier... Continue Reading →
Dropping the C-bomb on the second word of your debut album is quite some statement. You either have to back it up by being brilliant, or be so heavy and scary that no-one will question your outrageous lyrical choices. Thankfully, Ipswich's War Waves fall into the former category - and their self-titled debut album is a... Continue Reading →
