With their debut EP ready to keep our ears warmly entertained, it's finally time to give what we believe is Britain's most exciting new rock band the love they deserve.
New Band of the Week: Breather
Gig Review: Breather and Familiar Spirit @ Old Blue Last
I'm not one for claiming 'the UK's next big rock band' and all that jazz, but last night we saw Brighton trio Breather play their first ever gig weeks after releasing their debut single - and boy were they impressive.
Introducing: Sugarwolf
Coming out of Northern Ireland is a band that may just sound familiar a little albeit with a bit of a twist, as alt-rockers Sugarwolf unleash their new sound on the world.
Introducing: Atlas : Empire and their intriguing tech-themed concept album
In addition to an exciting alt-rock meets post-rock sound Glasgow's Atlas : Empire have deepened the intrigue with a concept album focusing on the human race's growing reliance on technology.
Introducing: Voices From The Fuselage
Northamptonshire rockers Voices From The Fuselage have honed a fascinating sound that blurs the boundaries of tech metal, progressive rock and post-rock in a delicious manner - leading some to laud them as Britain's answer to Coheed & Cambria.

From the likes... Continue Reading →
New Band of the Week: Prey Drive
Norwich rockers Prey Drive are right up with there as one of the most exciting new bands we've discovered in our last year of promoting new bands. The band has an impressive knack for writing engaging rock tracks built around their guitar-led sound - which has you baffled as to how they only have one... Continue Reading →
Introducing: Rusty Shipp
When Tennessee rockers Rusty Shipp were introduced to us as a combination of Beatles-esque songwriting and riff-heavy rockier influences like Muse and Nirvana, you can forgive us for getting a little bit excited. Of course, it's easy to put words and comparisons against any band, but the trio from Nashville more than justify the claims... Continue Reading →
