Introducing: Chloe and the Butlers

Essex band Chloe and the Butlers are somewhat of a departure from our usual rock/metal focus but we’re hooked on their fantastic funk and soul sound, which they describe as “funky, empowering and heartfelt.”

New Band of the Week: Cober Mouth

Bristol-based trio Cober Mouth harnesses the aggression of hardcore, the bounce of nu-metal and the weight of metalcore in a vicious nu-metalcore sound they intriguingly describe as “Groovy. Slam. Jackhammer.”

New Band of the Week: Glass Heart

The luscious valleys of South Wales are famed for producing standout post-hardcore bands, and Cardiff quartet Glass Heart continue that heritage with a powerful and engaging sound they describe as “dynamic, catchy and energetic.”

New Band of the Week: Head Cloud

East Midlands band Head Cloud offer up a deliciously heavy yet mellow grunge-gaze sound that draws on elements of 90s grunge, shoegaze and post-hardcore.

New Band of the Week: Alchemize

If we had to pick two genres that probably wouldn’t work together, R&B and metal would likely be good contenders. But Manchester band Alchemize have fused the two, while taking on the added complexity of having three vocalists.
