Dream State – ‘Consequences’

Formed in late 2014, Welsh quintet Dream State have gained a huge following due to their energetic, punchy music. They’ve already gained support slots with Fearless Vampire Killers and The Dirty Youth – pretty impressive for a band that isn’t even a year old yet. And now, they’re looking

itoldyouiwouldeatyou – ‘Don’t Cheer Up’

If you’ve spent any of your time at tiny gigs down local pubs in the South, you’ll have heard a lot of music like this: unmistakably English voices (none of those faux American accents), realist lyricism, and a combination of emo and math rock tendencies that result in

Conflict North – ‘Treading Water’

Hailing from Hertfordshire and London, Conflict North are the latest group to tread the metalcore boards. Only a couple of months old, they’ve dived in head first and released an EP in the form of ‘Treading Water’. From the start, it’s evident that these guys want to make an

The Lion and the Wolf – ‘My Father’s Eyes’

When people think of UK-based singer-songwriters, most will invariably think of pop’s favourite flame-haired Ed Sheeran, which is a massive shame when you come across The Lion and The Wolf, aka Tom George. Based on the Isle of Wight, Tom draws from incredibly personal accounts of his life

Elasea – ‘Where I Belong’

The UK’s anthemic, alternative-rock scene has promoted some successful acts in recent years, with the likes of Mallory Knox and Lower than Atlantis, and though ‘Where I Belong’ isn’t perfect, it shows enough potential for Elasea to be considered for that level of success in the future. Opener ‘Glass

I Cried Wolf – ‘Hollow Heart’

Ready to ramp it up with I Cried Wolf and their latest offering ‘Hollow Heart’? Think Cancer Bats meets Dillinger Escape Plan, this EP is too darn short, with only five tracks, leaving you covered in appreciative saliva after a throughly enjoyable 20 minutes. ‘Scratching My Head With Ink’ splats

Creeper – ‘The Callous Heart’

When Creeper first clawed their way out of the Southampton underground like a pallid sonic zombie, we drew comparisons between the band’s moody brand of punk rock and bands with a similarly gothic aesthetic like Interpol and Alkaline Trio before asserting that the band made us want to “jump

Larkhill – ‘Larkhill’

Larkhill (formally Grayscale) have been circulating the underground punk scene since 2013. In a time when bands are easily lost due to the sheer number of peers with similar influences, it is exciting when a band like Larkhill can completely win over a crowd and convince of their worth

Vera Grace – ‘Novella’

In a music scene which almost constantly and consistently churns out all manner of hardcore and metalcore bands, it takes something special to stand out from the pack, so by combining the ferocity and ruthlessness of Feed The Rhino with the cinematic beauty of Devil Sold His

Best Years – ‘Drop Out’

Guess what? There’s another pop-punk band on the scene for you to check out. Now, while some of the cynics out there might scoff at yet another pop-punk band breaking through in 2015, let’s just all agree that it’s a fantastic genre, lots of fun, and perfect
