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

Suis La Lune – ‘Distance / Closure’ EP

Patent Pending – ‘Armageddon’

Having recently signed to Rude Records, ‘Armageddon’ is Patent Pending’s first release for the label and another step forward in their career. First of all however, a few words of warning; exactly how much you will enjoy ‘Armageddon’ hinges on your taste for songs so sugary sweet you’ll

With Ghosts – ‘Endings’

With Ghosts take a very English approach to the American-fuelled Pop-Punk genre. The band hails from Swindon and have just released their debut EP ‘Endings’. The production on the record, by Lee Batiuk, who most notably produced Deaf Havana’s latest record, is second-to-none and displays every aspect of

Safe Side – ‘Everything You Never Wanted’

‘Everything You Never Wanted’ is the début EP from Essex-based Safe Side and it’s a promising if somewhat unpolished release. Entirely self-produced, it does a great job of helping the band carve out an identity of their own in a tightly packed scene. ‘Castlemaine’ kicks things off, and it’s

Red House Glory – ‘Heart Of Gold’

Red House Glory are a riveting London-based group, and have been knocking about for four years now. And within those four years, they’ve been able to gather everything that’s learned and experienced to create bittersweet, and explosive releases. Their latest creation, ‘Heart Of Gold’ is no exception. Punchy and
