Alcopop! Records signing Best Ex might be better known to you and me as Best Ex but with a new name and a new sound Ice Cream Anti-Social is their attempt at showing just what the new (and potentially improved) them can do.
In 2014 SikTh made their comeback at Download Festival and three years later they graced the main stage. We chatted to guitarist Dan Weller about the festival, which holds such important memories for them.
On the sunniest Saturday that Download Festival has seen in a while, we had a chat with brother-sister duo Steph and Paul O’Sullivan, AKA Greywind. They’ve had a whirlwind journey of a career journey so far which has led them to Download 2017, and it's the perfect chance for a catch-up.
Download 2017 saw In Flames gracing the main stage on Sunday. We spoke to Anders Fridén about the importance of Download Festival, the perils of touring and their latest album Battles.
Following on from their slot on the Dogtooth Stage at Download 2017 we caught up with punk rock band Drones to see how the festival was for them, their political side and what's next on the cards.
Dead! have become regulars to the pages of Bring The Noise over the years, so we jumped at the chance to have a chat with Louis and Sam Matlock following their set on The Avalanche Stage at Download 2017. We talked debut album, were taught a fancy new word and their dream festival line up...
At Download 2017 we sat down with Giorgio Cantarutti and Ashley Green from Holding Absence. The Cardiff outfit are making big waves on the live circuit, and from line-up changes to signing to SharpTone Records things got big and exciting extremely fast.
Just over seven months on from releasing their debut EP Facade, Leeds based Dire Bloom have released its follow up Seasons. With four tracks and coming in at 14 minutes long it's a short but very solid package of musical goodness.
Opening the mainstage at Download Festival is no small feat, and this year Hacktivist undertook the role on Saturday 10th June. Having played only a handful of shows with new co-vocalist Jot Maxi there was additional pressure riding on their shoulders; we spoke to J Hurley and Rich Hawking about how it went and what's on the cards right now for Hacktivist.
We headed to Download Festival 2017 to see if the 15th edition would be just as much fun as those before it. With System of a Down, Biffy Clyro and Aerosmith headlining there really was something for everyone to enjoy.
