New Band of the Week: Better Than Mending
For anyone who, like me, grew up on the old-school emo and post-hardcore sounds of the early 2000s, we may just have found you a nostalgic new favourite band.
Introducing: Death of Youth
South-east London newcomers Death of Youth provide a nostalgic nod to emo and post-hardcore of the not too distant past, with their self-confessed "sad and shouty" approach. The band started out as a solo project of frontman Rob Horrocks, who set out with the intention of playing music a la Touche Amore, Departures and La... Continue Reading →
Introducing: Wave Break
Boston rockers Wave Break are aptly named, given the metaphorical theme of overcoming adversity - also known as a 'wave break' - dominates their lyrics.
Introducing: My Dinosaur Life
If My Dinosaur Life sounds familiar then no, you're not going mad, these Italian rockers were so inspired by the Motion City Soundtrack album that they borrowed its title as their band name. The five-piece from Cremona, a town in northern Italy famed for its violin making, began as a project back in 2010 largely... Continue Reading →

New Band of the Week: Jack The Envious
Post-hardcore rockers Jack The Envious have one of the more interesting background stories we've heard of, with the three founding members having formed the band during their military service back in their homeland of Israel. Jack The Envious started life as vocalist Nir Perlman and guitarist Guy Avnon back in 2011, adding bassist Guy Checkarov... Continue Reading →
Introducing: Hunter Dumped Us Here
Iowa rockers Hunter Dumped Us Here have to be one of the most eclectic and entertaining bands we've met, diving into all manner of genres from indie pop all the way through to hardcore. The quartet of Gabe Reasoner (vocals, keys and bass), Preston West (guitar and vocals), Jason Feight (drums) and Aslan Denbow (bass and guitar) write diverse track,... Continue Reading →
