Your guide to new rock, metal and punk bands worldwide
Virginia Beach rockers Give 'Em Hell, Kid have honed a ridiculously infectious, and utterly unique sound of post-hardcore and metal fused with a southern drawl that'll have you hooked. Hailing from the east coast of the United States, the five-piece of vocalist Ryan Polesko, guitarists Jared Griffith and Tyler Stallard, bassist Jason Stevens and drummer... Continue Reading →
Brutal metal riffs and poetic vocals may not be the most obvious things to place side by side one another, but that's exactly what Scottish five-piece Serenity Came Calling are aiming for. We spoke to guitarist and clean vocalist Ross Dickson off the back of recent single Tenebris, and he summed up the band's sound... Continue Reading →
We've spoken to bands from all across Europe in recent months, but today we introduce our first Dutch band in the form of We Fall Slowly. The five-piece of Boye Emmaneel (vocals), Gerwin (guitar and backing vocals), Maarten (guitars), Jan (drums) and Anton (bass) hail from Emmen, in the north-east of The Netherlands, and have honed...

A few weeks ago we met Bristol post-hardcore rockers From Idols To Ashes at a Last Hounds gig in Camden, and ever since I've been eagerly awaiting bringing them to you as our New Band of the Week. Now finally that time is nigh, so get ready for something extremely exciting and very heavy to... Continue Reading →
We recently met a really exciting new band all the way from the other side of the world in Australia, who tell us they've been described as Alexisonfire meets Every Time I Die meets letlive. At which point, our minds melted. Adelaide-hailing Emecia are far too modest to cast such assertions, instead referring to themselves... Continue Reading →
Post-hardcore rockers Jack The Envious have one of the more interesting background stories we've heard of, with the three founding members having formed the band during their military service back in their homeland of Israel. Jack The Envious started life as vocalist Nir Perlman and guitarist Guy Avnon back in 2011, adding bassist Guy Checkarov... Continue Reading →
Iowa rockers Hunter Dumped Us Here have to be one of the most eclectic and entertaining bands we've met, diving into all manner of genres from indie pop all the way through to hardcore. The quartet of Gabe Reasoner (vocals, keys and bass), Preston West (guitar and vocals), Jason Feight (drums) and Aslan Denbow (bass and guitar) write diverse track,... Continue Reading →
Fresh from the very north-west of the United States we've found something a bit special in the form of THE WITHØUT. The band has honed a sound that crosses the boundaries of multiple elements across the rock spectrum, and is highly influenced by the grit and vigour of its hometown of Portland, Oregon. THE WITHØUT is a creative venture between five... Continue Reading →
French rockers Show Me Your Universe may have found it difficult getting noticed in their musical homeland, but their wonderfully intense post-hardcore sound will have UK metal fans begging for more. The lack of a strong rock and metal scene and the difficulty in finding like-minded musicians in France led to two of the band initially meeting online around... Continue Reading →
Chicago-based Polarities are on a quest that's almost as philosophical as it is musical. The five-piece fuses heavy guitars and screamed vocals with wonderful melodies to create an emotionally charged, heavily vocal-led experience. Indeed, the name Polarities itself relates to 'the presence or manifestation of two opposite or contrasting principles.' And when you transfer this... Continue Reading →
