NOBRO – ‘Sick Hustle’

Canada seems to have a knack for churning out prime musicians, creating some of the meanest punk, post-hardcore, and alternative bands in the world.

Sugar Horse – ‘DRUGS’

Tucked away in the darkest corner of Bristol, Sugar Horse have been cooking up an unholy noise. Unwilling to follow trends, the band delights in creating something different. Their music is a concoction of doom metal without the metal – just the attitude – shoegaze via screamo and a

Halflives – ‘Resilience’

From the moment the ‘Resilience’ EP kicks off with ‘Rockstar Everyday’, it’s easy to see how Halflives have picked up such a fierce online following in their four years as a band. Despite having only previously released an eight track EP back in 2017, this is a

Palmist – ‘Fake Smiles’

London based alt-rockers Palmist hit the ground running with their debut EP, ‘The Walls Between You & I’. Having Griffin Dickinson of SHVPES feature on lead single ‘Wildfire’ was a stroke of genius, certainly getting them noticed – and with that comes a certain amount of pressure for sophomore

Derek Sanders – ‘My Rock and Roll Heart’

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Mayday Parade’s Derek Sanders has unleashed his heart on the world in the form of his debut solo EP, ‘My Rock and Roll Heart’. The five tracks – which are made up entirely of covers of some of his favourite songs

Nova Charisma – ‘Exposition II’ EP

Sergio Medina and Donovan Melero are not unknown faces in the business. With Medina serving as guitarist in the post-hardcore Stolas, Melero fronting the equally hard Hail The Sun, and both serving time in prog-rock supergroup Sianvar, the duo’s signature sound and vocals are plastered all over

Veridian – ‘NoVella’

Three years is a fair amount of time between releases, but since the release of their 2017 debut EP ‘40826d’, Reading five-piece Veridian haven’t been slacking. Honing their craft on stage alongside the likes of Dream State, Mallory Knox, Normandie, and Holding Absence, theirs is a name that is steadily
