Nearly 20 years after their debut 'Room on the 3rd Floor' and three years since their last album, 2020's 'Young Dumb Thrills', McFly are back and feeling rejuvenated as they gear up to release the newly announced Power To Play. We caught up with Harry Judd, Dougie Poynter and Danny Jones to discuss their new material, cassette tapes and the first single off the album, 'Where Did All The Guitars Go?'.

Story Of The Year are back with their highly anticipated new album 'Tear Me To Pieces', their first in over five years. We caught up with guitarist Ryan Phillips ahead of the release to delve into the band's recent single 'WAR', discussing the song writing process, themes and stories from behind the scenes. 

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. 

Three years after their album 'Nova', Polar return in full force with their brand new album 'Everywhere, Everything' - released last month via Arising Empire. Pushing their boundaries and exploring new territory, the band teamed up with long-time collaborator Ellie Price for their single Rush, creating a song like no other in the Polar discography. We caught up with vocalist Adam Woodford to discuss the  writing process, themes, the music video and more. 

Death/thrash metal upstarts Spiritworld have been causing quite a stir in the metal world with the release of the second album 'DEATHWESTERN'. A horror/western concept album that is as crushingly heavy as it is imaginative and original. We managed to catch up with the band to discuss their roots, their ambitions and what lies ahead for them.

Volbeat’s expert axeman Rob Caggiano says he is a huge fan of streaming as a convenient way to consume music, but he reckons the whole industry is due a sea of change. Although what change he isn’t sure yet. Caggiano sat down with Bring The Noise UK during Volbeat’s recent mega arena tour of Britain, as he lifted the lid on his thoughts on how modern rock fans consume his band's, and other bands', music.

As another year draws to a close we look back on an amazing year of music, members of the Bring The Noise UK team reflect on their favourite records of 2022. Let us know your favourite releases by tweeting us @BringTheNoiseUK!

Back on the road once again in support of the record, we caught up with guitarist Brodie Maguire to discuss their formation, influences, ambitions and more. 

Nu-punks Cherie Amour are making their mark with their debut album 'Spiritual Ascension', a striking blend of punk rock, pop-punk, electronic-tinged pop and hip-hop.
