Your guide to new rock, metal and punk bands worldwide
aving recently moved to Sheffield, I've been on the lookout for exciting Steel City bands and we've only gone and found exactly that - thanks to their management company holding one of their meetings in my pub! Emerging indie rockers Cargos are on a mission to get music crowds moving with an increasingly heavy sound they describe as "energetic, chaotic and memorable" and live shows that are "energy, choruses and moshpits."
London-based newcomers Kin Kabal blend hooky guitars, satirical lyrics and late-capitalism dread edge in an alt-rock sound that they describe as "energetic, sharp and gritty."
London-based Dream Delay blend elements of rock, grunge, indie and pop in an engaging sound that they describe as "enigmatic, contrasting and dreamy."
Barnsley newcomers Midnight P.M. fuse elements of indie with punk pop in a fun and hooky sound that they describe as "emo indie rock."
London-based band Howling Hawk combine the best of British rock, from 90s Britpop to indie rock and 60s touches, in a sound they describe as a "B-side from 95."
South Wales quintet Modern Neutrals offer up an exciting fusion of noise rock, indie and punk in a boisterous sound that they describe as "loud, emotional and distinctive."
San Francisco's gloomy june tell us "you probably have to be a little emo" to enjoy the sound of their hooky indie meets synthpop meets pop rock sound that they describe as "sad, gay, friends." Luckily for them, we're all at least a little bit emo.
London's MOSAICS transport us back to the good old days of the 1990s with a delicious anthemic melodic rock sound that they describe as "nostalgic guitar anthems."
Kent rockers Karobela aim to get you dancing on your toes with a catchy indie rock, disco and electronica fusion that boasts soaring melodies and heavy riffs.
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.
