Your guide to new rock, metal and punk bands worldwide
Our latest edition of new music from bands we’ve previously interviewed brings you new rock, metal and punk tracks to get your weekend started. This month, we’ve got new music by seven bands from Canada, France, Spain and the UK.
Stoke-based The Thirteenth Turn fuse elements of punk, rock, hardcore and metal in a feisty sound that they describe as “hard, loud and unapologetic.”
German band The JEALS fuse pop punk and hardcore elements with an activist mindset, standing up against racism, homophobia, sexism, transphobia and environmental pollution in a sound they describe as “alternative, political and unconventional.”
London quartet ButcherBird offer up a wild and wonderful fusion of hardcore punk, metal and mathcore in a sound that they describe as “lurching, frantic and emotions.”
Killed By Sorrow, who hail from Granby, on the south shore of Montreal, combine catchy, intense vocals with powerful guitars in a delicious sound that they summarise as “gritty, raw and heavy.”
If you’ve read any of our recent articles, you’ll have seen us reference discovering new bands through Groover, a music submission and discovery platform. With that in mind, we wanted to drill down into what Groover is and summarise a few of the most recent submissions we’ve received.
Dutch band State Power describe themselves as the Netherlands’ “latest outpouring of fury,” throwing a tantrum in a giant ball of fast-paced, vicious hardcore punk goodness.
The Great Lie offer up an intense, fast-paced and aggressive hardcore punk sound with a metal edge.
Chaos Reigns are back better than ever with a brand new lineup and a huge new single to showcase their deliciously frantic hardcore sound.
French band The Dead Krazukies offer up a hugely enjoyable nod to 90s skate punk with metal and hardcore edges that they summarise as “energetic, dramatic and catchy” – and definitely not emo.
Norwegian band MAKTKAMP offer up a hard-hitting musical entity that aims to fight injustice, idiocy and inhuman behaviour with a sound they describe as “piercing, persistent and playful.”
Ukrainian trio Death Pill have delivered a kick-ass album of feisty hardcore punk that harnesses the stance and attitude of the Riot Grrrl movement. And of course, the album’s release is more pertinent in light of being completed just before the atrocity of the Russian invasion last year.
