Your guide to new rock, metal and punk bands worldwide
Canterbury rockers Strife Darko are about to launch themselves onto the British rock scene with a bang that they describe to us as "a blitzkrieg of folk, rock and something unexpected."

An evening of impressive female vocalists was topped off by the emergence of an exciting new rock band as Elswhere and Finding Kate provided support for Italian rockers Halflives at The Black Heart in Camden on Tuesday (9 January).

Forget the Hounds of the Baskervilles, today we bring you the wonderful fuzzy rock sounds of The Baskervilles. But what's in a name? A lot if you ask the Ipswich four-piece's frontman James Betts. As the band name suggests, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's most famous character is an inspiration that sums up the band's ethos.... Continue Reading →
South London rockers Hey Gigantic are a great example of making music for the fun of jamming with your mates.

To paraphrase Zach Galifianakis in The Hangover, London's Duke Of Wolves are increasingly adding to their 'Wolfpack' with their engaging, hard-hitting rock. Like the movie they are four in number and, while their wolfpack may not be 'running around the desert together in Las Vegas, looking for strippers and cocaine' they are increasingly winning over UK audiences with...
