Your guide to new rock, metal and punk bands worldwide
When I first discovered three-piece Corby / London-based Veins, they summarised their music as being "epic, atmospheric and moody," which was enough intrigue to have me hooked immediately. The trio of Stephen Rees (guitar and vocals), Scott Warner (bass) and Dan Appleyard (drums) have honed a unique 'widescreen rock' sound that is big on atmospheric guitar and melodic...

As a special Sunday treat we're bringing you one of the heaviest, most technical bands we've encountered, and our first 'math-metal' band in the form of Los Angeles' The Conduit. The progressive metal project began as music that vocalist Jeff Bobbin composed and recorded in his living room, before meeting guitarists Dakota and Dave and drummer Luka in... Continue Reading →
We're going all old school punk on you for this week's New Band of the Week, with South London rockers Pretty Pistol. The quartet of Laura (vocals), Billy (guitar), Rich (bass) and Emma (drums) have been together a little over a year and released debut EP Bones last month. We had a chat with lead vocalist...

It seems this is a week for writing about bands making long overdue albums, as following in the footsteps of Texan legends At The Drive In are Sheffield rockers Order Of Voices with their superb second album Constancy.

Having been away for so long, there's more than likely rock lovers out there who aren't aware of how great this band was back in their... Continue Reading →
They may be approaching a decade together as a band but Black Country-hailing rockers Liberty Lies are only just getting started. Lead vocalist Shaun Richards, guitarists Josh Pritchett and Liam Billings and drummer Adam Stevens have just been joined by a new bassist, who they believe is the catalyst to bigger and better things for the...

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 →
My first introduction to this week's New Band of the Week was their claim that they are "breathing new life into the world of rock music." This is quite some claim from Ipswich rockers In My Disguise, but thankfully one that they more than live up to. The four-piece was formed as a project by... Continue Reading →
