ReVerbed – ‘Another Year, Still Here’

During the recording process for ‘Another Year, Still Here’, ReVerbed came close to bringing their time together as a band to an end. Thankfully they didn’t, and the result is a neat collection of songs that are brimming with energy and passion. ReVerbed’s album ‘This Machine’ showed a gritty

Earl Grey – ‘Passing Time’

For a band that’s named after a brand of tea, Earl Grey are surprisingly aggressive and energetic. After the release of the band’s debut EP ‘Ready To Leave’ at the beginning of this year, the German hardcore / pop-punk crossover quintet have released another incredible EP, ‘Passing Time’. The band

Lost Atlanta – ‘Alive’

Lost Atlanta have been doing very well for themselves recently. The past year alone has seen them play at Butserfest, Deadbolt Festival and Takedown, and tour with bands such as Amaryllis, Breathe In the Silence, and Skies In Motion. Somehow, amongst their busy touring schedule, this quintet found

Arcane Roots – ‘Heaven and Earth’

Well, this is good, isn’t it? It’s not often a band comes along with an EP that blows some full-length albums out of the water but Arcane Roots have done just that with ‘Heaven and Earth’. It’s a five track, fast paced, energetic thrill of a record worth opening

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
