We made our annual visits to Slam Dunk Festival, find out what happened here.

What do you get when some of the world’s best metal bands come together to record an album? 'Horns For A Halo' by the metal supergroup, Elegant Weapons. With Vandenberg and Rainbow’s Ronnie Romero (vocals), Judas Priest’s Richie Faulkner (guitars), Uriah Heep’s Dave Rimmer (bass) and Accept’s Christopher Williams (drums), 'Horns For A Halo' is an ode to the heavy metal of the 70s and 80s.

After a highly successful European tour supporting Neck Deep and Boston Manor in 2022, there is a lot going on for happydaze. With over forty-three thousand monthly listeners on Spotify, the Scottish alt-rock/pop are back with their new EP, 'Full Free Radical'.

Although the pandemic may have devastated live music, it gave Picturesque the perfect opportunity to create an EP that shows they are multifaceted. By blending different elements of genre, they evolve from being a Warped Tour band to something more. They are not constrained by post-hardcore, but rather a pioneer in what could be post-post-hardcore in the next few years.

From Fall To Spring are reviving nu-metal on their debut album 'RISE', showing both old and new fans of the genre that it deserves to be taken seriously. 

The strong line-up was here to prove to the city that rock certain isn't dead.

With the resurgence of 'King For A Day' on Tiktok, there is no way to forget Pierce The Veil. These post-hardcore rockers are back. With chart-topping albums such as 'Collide With The Sky' and 'Misadventures', nothing is stopping this band from dominating the charts with their highly anticipated fifth studio album, 'The Jaws of Life'. It has been seven years since their last album but, with a sold-out string of shows in December 2022, the British appetite for Pierce The Veil grows. With the impending release of 'The Jaws of Life', we spoke to bassist Jaime Preciado via Zoom. 

Recorded at the same time as 'Fix Yourself, Not The World', The Wombats' new EP, 'Is This What it Feels Like to Feel This?' has great potential to match the success from earlier this year. The 2007 British indie genre may be long gone, but The Wombats are still going strong.

Bonfire night 2022 might have been a washout, but this show definitely wasn't!

Exploring our own lives can sometimes be uncomfortable, yet Pryti’s newest album 'Searching for Now Lost in Again' is taking on life as she expresses self-discovery, toxic relationships and a growing mindset. This album may be the self-reflection we all need.
