Hard rock project Criminal Hero blends elements of alternative clarity and punk urgency in a lively, nostalgic sound that they describe as "rhythmic, driven and focused."
Introducing: In Stone
Canadian duo In Stone offer up a deliciously in-your-face and groovy rock and metal sound that they describe as "heavy, catchy and rockin'."
Introducing: Dune Reaper
Canadian duo Dune Reaper met on a construction site and are building a grungey outlet for the burned-out and the overworked. They've crafted a gritty and atmospheric rock-meets-metal sound that they describe as "aggressive, dynamic and chaotic."
Introducing: Light Drawn In
Canadian band Light Drawn In offer up an intriguing, diverse sound that toes the line between hard rock, modern metal and nu-metal with electronic elements, and they describe as "unique, energetic and organic."
On The Radar: The Dislockers, The Purple Helmets & S.Y.G.M.A
Our On The Radar feature continues by introducing three new tracks from bands we previously interviewed and discovered through music discovery platform Groover. Today, we bring you two new singles from heavy French bands and a more laid-back offering from a Canadian band.
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.
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.
Introducing: Steve Creep and the Wildcards
Montreal newcomers Steve Creep and the Wildcards compare enjoying their engaging rock sound to the experience of appreciating the look and sound of a vintage car, summarising it as "catchy, retro and melodic."
Introducing: The Kyle Jordan Project
Canada-based trio The Kyle Jordan Project blends indie rock with modern rock influences in a sound that they describe as "fearless, real and connected" and began as a creative outlet for some devastating, life-changing news.
Introducing: The Purple Helmets
Canadian band The Purple Helmets first formed back in 1988, becoming a big name across the country with their fetching songcraft and raucous indie power pop. But the band is back and making waves with a cool rock sound we intriguingly saw labelled as "Canadiana."
