Introducing: WRTHLESS
Glasgow's WRTHLESS take all the fun and energy of pop-punk and fuse it with rockier influences, meaning they're far from your pop-punk norm. As lead guitarist Stuart Macdonald tells us: "That is exactly how we would also describe WRTHLESS. I'd love to say this was a conscious decision to not sound like the pop punk... Continue Reading →
Introducing: Chasing Dragons
Leeds rockers Chasing Dragons have merged modern metal influences with those of days gone by in a sound they describe as "metal for today with one eye on the glorious past."
