Returning to the cold, bloody roots of Scandinavian extreme music, Heimland are as authentic a black metal band as anyone could ask for. Hailing from Bergen, Norway, Heimland strips the artifice away from a genre which has been overtaken by trends and image to focus on what all the newspapers, hangers-on and johnny-come-latelies all missed;…
Copenhagen’s hardcore scene must be a punishing place indeed to produce a band as heavy as EYES. Voices whisper secrets and speak only truths “Why do you put up with yourself?” Deep, heavy, powerful and insightful lyrics meet a fifty foot firewall of harsh hardcore noise. What we wouldn’t give to see EYES tour with…
Mastiff have nothing to say to you, puny human.
Hot Under Collar’s crazy sound can only be described (by us) as supersexyurban-funkcrush. We made that word up. Based in London, Hot Under Collar consists of four friends who came together to create a new sound consisting of the best elements of rock, funk, R&B and hip-hop. As a four piece, it’s tempting to believe that…
Where once there was a solo artist, now there is a full band. Womps used to be the sole voice of Scottish wunderkind Ewan Grant – now it’s all about the visual viscera and aural onslaught of three lads going mental onstage. More versatile that a traditional grunge band, Womps’ influences are a who’s who of…
Ire Wolves’ music is, to put it bluntly, heavy. Heavier than osmium, or the dirty kebab drunken you ate last Friday night. These Minnesotan lads like it one way: slow, angry, powerful and pure. Don’t be fooled into thinking that their slower tempos make for simpler music, however – there’s both enough technical proficiency in…
Toffee Music were formed early in 2012 by Mike Lydiat and Dave Markam. Mike and Dave are both retired Primary school Head teachers who now perform Music Hall, Vaudeville and Standards of Yesteryear to raise money for Sheffield’s Weston Park Hospital Cancer Charity. They play in pubs, schools, street markets, private parties – anywhere that…
NEKO, a trio from the UK south coast, bring together big riffs, dance grooves and prog rock echoing the likes of QOTSA, Dinosaur Pile Up and Muse. Formed by Tom Brennan (guitar and vocals), Luke Knight (bass and vocals), and David Cassell (drums) while attending high school in Worthing, the band (which was originally called…
If you’re a funk band with an umlaut in your band name, you’re clearly our kind of people. Leeds-based, trans-European funk rock act Vinyl Cäsino has been described as a mix of Led Zeppelin and James Brown. Guitarist Harry uses a Skinny Little Switch Plus with a Hayden Mofo 30, and enjoys extra moist marble cake.
Hailing from Birmingham, Nerve Centre serves up more variety than your typical rock band. With the occasional acoustic gig, a Christmas song and moments of full orchestral grunge epic (believe us when we say this sounds huge) the band seems hell bent on taking the genre of guitar rock and subverting it into powerful and…
Black Rose are a truly wonderful Thin Lizzy tribute band from up North. Their respect for Lizzy and Phil Lynott emanates from each note they play, summoning up a sound and stage show fit for the Rocker himself: all done with a keen sense of Northern magic. For those who still like a little MySpace…
Dragging the awesome sounds of old-school noise into the present day, piling on a large serving of awesome riffs, melting it down into a potent liquor and serving it in a chalice of rock, Blind Tiger will eagerly destroy you. Then bring you back to life to enjoy their amazing live show!
