Your guide to new rock, metal and punk bands worldwide
If there’s a single country we could pick out as intriguing based on not discovering any artists from the nation and lacking any understanding of their rock/metal scene, it would be South Africa. But we’re putting that right today with multi-genre music project FiveSidedDice, who describe their rock meets nu-metal sound as “colourful, enigmatic and transformative.”
In five years of running GigRadar, we’ve only previously featured two bands from Africa. But we’ve found another in the thrilling melodic rock sound of largely Johannesburg-based HeadFury, who summarise themselves as “three super sexy dudes making killer tunes just for fun.”
We’ve now covered a band from every continent worldwide because we discovered the engaging indie-rock sound of Cape Town quartet Champion Trees, who released their debut, self-titled EP last month.
