Edhochuli – ‘Dream Warriors’

Post hardcore and screamo (or ‘skramz’ if you want to get all Tumblr about it) are in a very healthy state of being right now. Though purists would argue that the genre peaked back in the late 90’s with bands like Orchid, City Of Caterpillar, Saetia and pretty much

Tigress – ‘Human’

They are so many female fronted bands these days that usually get compared to the pioneers that are Paramore. Well that’s understandable, as the vocals and styles are similar. But Tigress are the new charm on the chain, lead by the firecracker that is Katy Jackson, and their sound

Gnarwolves – ‘Adolescence’

Pure Noise Records could be considered pop-punk’s most prized record label, with artists such as The Story So Far, State Champs, Handguns, Seaway, and Four Year Strong. However, the punk driven-trio Gnarwolves are making a case for one of the best releases of 2015. Over a year after their debut

Max Raptor – ‘Damage Appreciation’

Max Raptor have been a force of political influence for the past five years in the British underground scene. It’s been a fair amount of time since 2013’s ‘Mother’s Ruin’ was released, and it never really got the attention it deserved. Luckily, ‘Damage Appreciation’ fills in all

Alicewell – ‘Young Hearts’

Counterfeit – ‘Come Get Some’

London band Counterfeit showcase the type of music that alerts the inner core of the heart to pump more blood. With their infectious punk rock sound blaring out and catching listeners off guard, they’ve created a new EP called ‘Come Get Some,’ and it’s a loud, chaotic, but brilliant

SayWeCanFly – ‘Darling’

Canadian singer/songwriter Braden Barrie has been releasing solo material under the name SayWeCanFly since 2009 and having previously released four EPs, ‘Darling’ is his first with the backing of Epitaph Records. With ‘Darling’, Barrie has evolved his acoustic emo style, adding further layers

Northernmost – ‘Pinedale’

Northernmost have been showing promise for a while now, with a full length album and series of EPs all showcasing their thoughtful take on feedback soaked post-rock, but as of yet they’ve not quite reached the heights that they’re clearly capable of. ‘Pinedale’ finds them continuing to mix elements

The Red Owls – ‘Do You Feel Any Better?’

A while ago there was a band called ‘Koopa’, who set the record for being the first band to grace the UK Top 40 singles charts while being unsigned. They were a pop-rock band, through and through, with pretty meaningless, innocuous lyrics and those four chords used in the
