Your guide to new rock, metal and punk bands worldwide
Nestled in the heart of England in the middle of the beautiful Cotswolds, Bath is not only loaded with Roman heritage but rich rock'n'roll history. Maintaining the city's rock integrity are Novatines, who step into shoes once filled by the likes of Tears for Fears, Peter Gabriel and Alison Goldfrapp. The five-piece's self-assessment of their sound...

They make music to swig beers to. They play riffs to headbang with. Their tunes make you want to drive over the speed limit with your windows down and the volume up to 11. Not that we’re advocating doing that, exactly. We’re talking about Walkway, who can only be summed up as the epitome of... Continue Reading →
Lots of bands go out on European tours, but you don't hear of too many that travel Europe for two months busking. But that's exactly what Leicester duo Timmas will be doing when they embark on their European journey next month. Timmas is made up of Tom Carnell (drums and vocals) and Tim Baker (guitars...

We've met a fair few bands from Italy in the last few months, but none (be it Italian or not, for that matter) are quite like Milanese rockers Rougenoire. The five-piece have honed an awesome classic rock sound with their own unique spin thanks to Francesca 'Black Mamba' Gheza's commanding, appealingly accented vocals. The title... Continue Reading →
There's few things better than a blast of good old hard rock from bands that smash out awesome guitar riffs, and that's exactly what we get from West Midlands-based rockers ELECTUS.

When you think of singer/songwriters, it's logical to expect them to be of the soft acoustic persuasion, but Scotland's Andrew Norquay, who goes by just his surname professionally, is bucking that particular trend. The man from Montrose took a three-year hiatus from music to work as a commercial diver, but now he's back with a bang with... Continue Reading →

I went along to see Stoke-on-Trent rockers Alter Eden a few days ahead of their eagerly awaited second EP on Friday, and was then treated to a masterclass in making it up as you go along...

It's hard to imagine that a band could exist when members live at opposite ends of the country, but Rob Jarvis & The Mercury Sons haven't let the inconvenience of being split between Essex and Newcastle - a cool 300 miles or so - hold them back. The quartet of frontman Rob Jarvis (lead singer... Continue Reading →
Devon rockers The Blend believe they are the catalyst for a well overdue change in the music industry. It's safe to say the band, who proclaim themselves "the best band in the world" on their Facebook page, aren't lacking in confidence or self-belief. Further fueling those claims is the fact that drummer Francis Whitley has been... Continue Reading →
When you hear a band described as being anything like Led Zeppelin you have to sit up and take notice. So that's exactly what we did when the new Tess of the Circle single landed in our inbox this week. The Oxford-based quartet is a musical collective built around the superb songwriting of Tess Jones... Continue Reading →
