Lakes – ‘This World Of Ours, It Came Apart’

Strike Anywhere – ‘Nightmares of the West’

It might be 10 years since Strike Anywhere released new music, but their infectious, melodic, hardcore-infused punk rock commentary on the state of the world has never been more relevant.

Commonwealth Choir – ‘No End’

Philadelphia. Okay, so the first thing that springs to mind when thinking about this Pennsylvania city might be cheesesteaks, but Philly is also renowned for its arts and culture. With music just about pulsing through the city’s old bones, it’s unsurprising that it’s spawned bands like The

Wolf & Chain – An Honest Mistake

Oh emo hearts, behold! If you’ve had a 2005 sized hole in your life since the leather clad, makeup stained days of My Chemical Romance’s ‘Three Cheers’ and Panic! At The Disco’s ‘A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out’, then Wolf & Chain are here to fill it

Crossfaith – ‘Species’

Mixing heavy music with electronic / dance music isn’t exactly a new idea. From the catchy rave-rock of Enter Shikari to the panic-inducing glitchy hardcore of Code Orange, it’s a concept that the alternative crowd is now familiar and comfortable with. As such, you must now be doing something
