Knuckle – ‘Life Is Hard When You’re Soft Inside’

Whether you want to accept it or not, Yorkshire has some real musical pedigree. You’ve got Arctic Monkeys, Rolo Tomassi, and Bring Me The Horizon from Sheffield. From Leeds, there’s Kaiser Chiefs, Pulled Apart By Horses, and Dinosaur Pile-Up. And from Huddersfield, there’s very little – at least according

Charly Bliss – ‘Young Enough’

“The best emotional releases are crying and dancing, so it makes sense to me to marry the two.” It only needs one sentence from Charly Bliss’ Eva Hendricks to eloquently sum up the band’s sophomore record ‘Young Enough’. To some it may be seem like a

Employed To Serve – ‘Eternal Forward Motion’

Hardcore and metal are often seen hand in hand nowadays. Bands extract the best elements from both, blending the energy of hardcore with the sheer brutality of metal to form an all out sonic assault; what isn’t quite as common, though, is a band that manages to blend them

Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes – ‘End Of Suffering’

As ‘Kitty Sucker’ starts with it’s fuzzy guitar line, Frank Carter declares that he’s a ‘Punk Rock Renegade’, something the British music media has known since he rose to prominence with Gallows. From the snotty, bloody face of British punk, to a one man juggernaut, Frank Carter is starting

Tacocat – ‘This Mess Is A Place’

Seattle has always been a place that spits out genre-defining musicians and bands. Nirvana. Hendrix. Modest Mouse. Ray Charles. But over the last 10 years or so, there’s been a rise in catchy feminist pop-punk – and part of that reason could be Seattle natives Tacocat. Back in 2007, Tacocat

PAWS – ‘Your Church On My Bonfire’

Progression and evolution of sound is an important factor if you’re looking to make it as a band. It’s all good having that distinctive sound, but unless you’re able to adapt and evolve over time, the likelihood is that it’ll start to become stale. Luckily for Glaswegian trio PAWS,

The Damned Things – ‘High Crimes’

The Damned Things releasing a new record could quite possibly be one of the best things to happen to music in 2019. One of the most solid supergroups, comprising some of the best musicians from all over the alternative music spectrum, releasing another offering of addictive and powerful rock.

Seaway – ‘Fresh Produce’

For a band who’ve long been on the fringes of the pop punk scene – popular, but not quite one of the big names – it finally feels like Canadians Seaway are on the verge of breaking through in a much bigger way, fuelled by their effervescent 2017 album

After The Burial – ‘Evergreen’

After The Burial are one of those bands in the tech metal scene that has a very loyal and passionate following. Not only have they been blowing fans away with their musicianship and crushing power since their formation in 2004, but they suffered a tragedy that caused listeners to
