GFM – ‘Framing My Perception’

Blame Shakespeare or blame Greek mythology but either way, when you hear of three sisters, you can’t help but think of witches. And perhaps that’s what GFM (or Gold, Frankincense, & Myrrh to those in the know) are. After all, they play in witch-inspired black & green

Panic Shack – ‘Baby Shack’

Attitude can get you a long way. If punk was a reaction to glam, Panic Shack are a reaction to groups of cocksure lads clogging up the Cardiff music scene. They embody the ethos perfectly; anyone can be in a band, everyone has something to say and these five,

Graphic Nature – ‘new skin’

Hailing from Kent and boasting a sound that is both brutally precise and wildly unhinged, Graphic Nature’s new EP ‘new skin’ is the perfect introduction to what they’re about. If you’ve never heard of the band before, prepare yourself – this isn’t an EP for the faint of

Copse – ‘Mara|Mondrem’

Let’s cut to the chase; this debut EP from Copse is pretty astonishing. It’s not often that a band nails it on the first attempt, but this Bristol-based post-black metal outfit have come straight out the gate sounding fully-formed on their debut EP ‘Mara|Mondrem’.

You wouldn’t believe it by what’s played on the radio, but the past year has seen the Irish music scene explode in nearly every genre. Independent hip-hop, dance, and pop artists have taken the time in lockdown to hit new heights with their work, and the reopening

Germany’s Kid Dad, however, appear to have taken a different approach; releasing on a more stripped and nuanced sound for their latest EP, ‘Bloom’, the

Orchards – ‘Trust Issues’

As the days continue to grow shorter and the dark of night creeps in ever earlier, many will be doting for a bit of brightness right about now. Right on cue, Orchards have arrived with a gorgeous ray of sonic sunshine in the form of their brand

Zebrahead – ‘III’

Legends of the pop-punk movement Zebrahead return not only with a new EP, but with a brand new member, too. Following the exit of lead singer and rhythm guitarist Matty Lewis, the band have regrouped, adding old friend Adrian Estrella to the fold, giving them a new lease of

GILT – ‘In Windows, Through Mirrors’

Picture the scene; you’re browsing through upcoming releases and you notice an EP called ‘In Windows, Through Mirrors’. It comes recommended for fans of Spiritbox and La Dispute, and the band’s name is GILT. This strikes you as strange, as there’s a Florida emo band with that name and

M(h)aol – ‘Gender Studies’

To the outside world, Ireland often has something of an idyllic image to it but there’s as much of an unspoken side to this country as anywhere – in its history and in the present day. For M(h)aol, their first debut EP provides ample opportunity to explore
