Your guide to new rock, metal and punk bands worldwide
Back in April, we made Bristol noise makers Phoxjaw our New Band of the Week. We were firmly of the opinion that they were right up there as one of the most exciting new British rock bands around. And.. we were right. The quartet are releasing their debut EP next Friday (16 November), and they've even... Continue Reading →
Dripping in fuzzy riffs, intrigue and uber coolness, London's psychedelic bluesy rock quartet Saint Agnes have been described as "the band Jessica Jones would form," which says a lot. They recorded their EP on 2" tape, they're in the midst of a tour through Eastern Europe, they've created photo books and Polaroid images to support their... Continue Reading →
Today is an exciting day as, in two years of running GigRadar, I had yet to interview any band that included someone with the surname as me. But now the wait is over, thanks to London via New York City indie rockers Tiger Mimic. Drummer George Latham completes the quartet alongside Jess Rhodes (vocals and... Continue Reading →
"P!nk is completely badass and stands up fully for what she believes in and she doesn’t care an inch what anybody thinks of her," says Flawless Carbon’s frontwoman, Lauren Diamond. "She comes across as incredibly strong and down to earth." While you might be forgiven for reading references to the #MeToo movement across the band's... Continue Reading →
London's Superfecta are a hard rock band that pride themselves on doing things a little differently.

The quartet of Danun Todd (guitars), Rob Negrini (vocals), Matt Vella (drums) and Carl "Costa" Highman... Continue Reading →
The old adage of 'if it ain't broke don't fix it' is being applied by emerging Guildford rockers Cascade with their classic "in-your-face" anthemic rock sound.

Kent four-piece The Word are taking us on a trip back to the 1960s and 70s, adding a modern twist to the classic rock sound that they've coined as 'Tea Rock' - or Britpop fused with Rock'n'Roll. The quartet of Stig (vocals and guitar), Ben (bass and vocals), Liam (drums and vocals) and Christian (guitar and vocals) met through... Continue Reading →
If you like to party but don't have any friends to do it with then North London indie-rockers Gold Baby are here to add a bit of spice to your lonely existence. The quartet of Siân Alex (guitar and lead vocals), Sam Asbury (lead guitar and backing vocals), Andrew Myors (bass) and Ian Lee (drums) have labelled their... Continue Reading →
The first thing I noticed about London-based trio BERRIES was the distinctive voice of lead vocalist Holly, who sounds more than similar to Jack Off Jill frontwoman Jessicka Addams. Not content with that alone, the band have honed an engaging, punchy rock sound that's filled with delicious melodies and naughty fuzzy riffs, which they describe... Continue Reading →
