Your guide to new rock, metal and punk bands worldwide
From Paris to Los Angeles might sound like a really naff follow up to Infernal's cult 2004 dance track, but thankfully it is in fact the intriguing musical journey followed by six-piece Charly&Faust. The band crosses a fine line between psychedelia and rock, with influences of blues, indie and old school punk for good measure,... Continue Reading →
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 →
In this time of political unease it seems only fair that we deserve bands that can help us voice our concerns as a generation. With Brexit and another General Election looming large on the horizon, London rockers Sisteray could be just the band to provide this requirement. The four-piece of Niall Rowan (vocals), Dan Connolly (guitar), Marco Polo... Continue Reading →
As a brass player myself we've had a sad lack of ska music thus far on this site, so it gives me great pleasure to introduce Bradford-based Analog Bombs. The six-piece aren't quite your standard ska rockers, fusing indie rock with their eclectic trombone and organ sound. It's hugely enjoyable, easy to listen to and infectiously catchy...

The term singer/songwriter is often one that's typecast into a certain style, but Leicester-based Dan Wright is on a mission to rewrite the term with his hooky blend of what he has termed 'acoustic indie blues.' Dan launches his new EP Drunken Words and Sober Thoughts on Friday, so we caught up with him to find out what... Continue Reading →
It's definitely not every day we receive great music from New Zealand in the inbox, but we did this week in the form of System Corporation. The five-piece project combines the rich musical background of their various parts in previous and existing indie bands, including two members of The Datsuns. Having first formed while in Sweden on tour a few years back the exciting... Continue Reading →
This week's New Band of the Week is something very different to what we've covered so far on this site, in the form of Newcastle's post-punk indie duo Lost On Me. The couple and musical pairing of vocalist and guitarist Martin Downing and bassist Jazmine Rains kicked off Lost On Me towards the beginning of 2016, with their friend... Continue Reading →
Drunken discussions of starting a band with my housemates in Vancouver nearly a decade ago mean I'll always have a certain affinity towards bands with 'Wolf' in their name. The dream of forming 'We Were Wolves' dissipated as quickly as the alcohol that fuelled it disappeared from our systems, but the love for the wolf lived on. But unlike me and... Continue Reading →
Watford-based Gold Key have made a massive impression despite having only been a band for a matter of weeks. This should come as no surprise when you learn that lead singer and guitarist Steve Sears is the producer behind fellow Hertfordshire band Gallows' second and third albums. The quartet, which is completed by Laurent (Lags) Barnard... Continue Reading →
