Your guide to new rock, metal and punk bands worldwide
In this scary time of global confusion, chaos and panic, music and the Internet have a vital role to play in bringing people together - even when they're confined to their homes, as we are in the UK. Through the power of these two mediums we're able to spread the GigRadar musical discovery compass into Turkey, with Izmir progressive metal band Dawnfall.
Like a fine red wine, Bristol's BEGGAR have gotten better with age to become an exciting addition to the UK's impressive metal scene, thanks largely to the addition of a Frenchman.
Nicely in time for the weekend, we have a new offering of new rock and metal for you to feast your ears upon with the fourth episode of our podcast GigRadio.
New Hampshire metalcore quartet TrueShot are a band in the midst of an evolution. Having released their debut EP last year within 12 months of forming, they've since switched things up with an even heavier, lower-tuned sound and a brand new drummer to boot.
Strap yourself in for an epic start to your week courtesy of heavy progressive rock band LUTE. The Manchester quartet tell us that their epic cinematic sound is almost like listening to a film soundtrack and joke "maybe we'll write a musical one day!"
It's not too often we feature a band before they have any music available to play you - in fact, we think this could be a first. But, given the sell that new London rap-rockers Antlerz gave us, we felt this one was worthwhile.
We're back with another episode of our brand new podcast, GigRadio. This episode sees us chat to Leeds alternative rockers Sir Curse about their brand new single Graphite and their intriguing musical influences.
Atmospheric alternative rock duo Hidden Phase duo are a project that's draped in mystery. The French two-piece offer up an intriguing progressive rock/metal sound that fuses engaging vocals with huge atmospheric instrumentals, supported by some awesome music videos.
Indian musician Kartik Baisoya has picked up the remnants of his high school band and, over a decade later, taken it upon himself to bring the old school music (literally) to life.
Annihilist is a name that you expect to belong to a super heavy band brimming with anger and rage. And the Melbourne crew do not disappoint on that front to an extent, but also offer a delightfully melodic edge to their brand of metal.
