Ward XVI

Introducing: Ward XVI

When a band has two members dedicated to “theatrics” and builds a narrative around a serial killer, you can guarantee we’ll be intrigued. And British shock rockers Ward XVI don’t disappoint with a diverse, dark and moody metal sound that they describe as “mad, eclectic and innovative.”

April New Music Round-Up: The Hi-Sides, Imperishable, Inconvenience, Jonas & The Jaguar Moon and NOAPOLOGY

Our ongoing discovery of new music through discovery platform Groover leads us to interview bands from all over the world. However, some don’t respond to our requests, so we do regular round-ups of new bands that have submitted tracks to us.

New Band of the Week: Start From Scratch

Glasgow newcomers Start From Scratch offer up a feisty and entertaining modern twist on late 90s and early 2000s alternative emo-punk and alt-rock, which they describe as “sexy, depressing and fun (not necessarily all at the same time!)”

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.”

French metal band Disconnected

February New Music Round-Up: JAW, Disconnected, Twisted Faith, ETHMEBB, The Hollowmen Project, Chemical Vision, Ray Of Light & Hemwick

We recently began discovering new rock and metal bands through music discovery platform Groover. Some bands don’t respond to our requests for interviews, so we’ll likely be doing semi-regular round-ups of new artists we’ve discovered through the site.
