Introducing: TrueShot
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.
New Band of the Week: LUTE
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!"

New Band of the Week: Fast Blood
