HARMED fuse brutally heavy, low-tuned guitar riffs with furiously savage vocals in their wild and wonderful hardcore sound, which they describe as "angry, chaotic, noisy" - and who are we to disagree.

New Band of the Week: Profiler
What better way to kick off your Monday morning than with the 'return' of Nu-Metal. Meet Bristol newcomers Profiler
EP Review: Phoxjaw – Goodbye Dinosaur…
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 →
Introducing: Shattered Skies
When Shattered Skies describe their music to us as "bombastic" we suspect we're onto something pretty special. And thankfully, the quartet's progressive metal fuelled with cinematic atmosphere - which they summarise as "a lot of groove, a lot of melody, and a real commitment to conveying emotion and power through focused songwriting" - succeeds in...

New Band of the Week: Vs

Introducing: Future Love
Northampton rockers Future Love may describe themselves as "weirdos from the Midlands" but they're also an exciting new band that has jumped up the heaviness of their music with their latest music - which is always music to our ears.

New Band of the Week: Phoxjaw
If you're on the lookout for the most exciting new band on the UK rock scene, then Bristol noise makers Phoxjaw are right up there. Guitarist Josh Gallop aptly describes the band's sound as "Like being punched in the stomach and electrocuted but really enjoying it," which pretty much tells you everything you need to...

New Band of the Week: Black Palms
London rockers Black Palms are an intriguing proposition. The unique mix of Greek, Jamaican and Iraqi heritages have combined to create an intriguingly dynamic brand of dark rock that sounds about as far away from those influences as you could imagine. The soulful vocals of Briony Macanas are perfectly accompanied by a backdrop of dark, powerful guitars.... Continue Reading →
New Band of the Week: Grumble Bee
We say band but, well, Grumble Bee is not a band. It's a man, called Jack, who writes as a solo artist that looks and sounds like a big rock band, and it's pretty damn awesome. Having been in bands before Jack Bennett, who hails from Walsden in West Yorkshire, went down the path of... Continue Reading →
New Band of the Week: Hundred Year Old Man
We're starting 2018 as we mean to go on by making our first New Band of the Week of the year the brilliantly bleak, relentlessly heavy Leeds-based doom sludgers Hundred Year Old Man. The six-piece of Tom Wright (guitar), Steve Conway (drums), Aaron Bateman (bass), Paul Broughton (vocals), Dan Rochester-Argyle (keys and vocals) and Owen Pegg (guitar and vocals) - plus...
