Thankfully, the powerful, atmospheric progressive rock and metal sound of Wyvern is far more entertaining than my local radio station of the same name.
Introducing: Wyvern
New Band of the Week: Columbia
It may have been a long time coming, but Cardiff quartet Columbia are well and truly making their presence felt with an infectiously uplifting rock'n'roll sound they describe as "energetic, moody, anthemic."
New Band of the Week: Them Velvet Tongues
Blackburn newcomers formed out of lockdown blues armed with an energetic, feisty rock'n'roll sound that fuses filthy riffs and screaming guitars with engaging vocals and oodles of swagger.
New Band of the Week: The Alchemy
Kent quartet The Alchemy have honed an explosive alt-rock sound fusing filthy riffs and pounding rhythms with engaging vocals that they describe as "dynamic, shiny and warm."
Introducing: Calling All Captains
Canadian band Calling All Captains offer up an infectiously aggressive pop-punk sound blended with delicious post-hardcore and screamo elements.
Introducing: Give In
If, like us, you regularly find yourself pining after the infectiously catchy days of 2000s post-hardcore and pop-punk then Los Angeles rockers Give In will be just the ticket.
New Band of the Week: Supera Morza
North-west newcomers Supera Morza throw up huge slabs of raucous distorted and fuzz-laden punk meets grunge meets noise rock that they describe as being "chaotic, expressive and ruthless."
Introducing: Borderline Toxic
London-based but rather international newcomers Borderline Toxic offer up a riff-based, catchy rock sound that draws on funk influences and they describe as "gritty, ballsy and triggering."
Introducing: Threads
International musical collective Threads sees musicians from Australia, Chile, Greece and New Zealand combine in Berlin. The result is a delicious groove-laden yet melodic post-rock meets metal sound that they describe as "atmospheric, progressive and groovy."
New Band of the Week: Stereotyped
The same week as we recently celebrated the 30th anniversary of the greatest album of all time (Nevermind, obviously), we were introduced to a Manchester band being referred to as "Britain's answer to Nirvana." So we knew we had to see what the fuss was all about.
