The Xcerts are currently rounding off their most successful album cycle to date with 'Hold On To Your Heart'. In the last 16 months it's seen the Scottish trio get a top 40 album, tour across Europe, release their 'Wildheart Dreaming' EP which features tracks that didn’t make the album and take their sound to arenas with Busted. We ventured down to the London show of their tour at The Garage to have one last dance, before they head back into the studio to record their follow-up album.

With two albums and over seven years under their belt, Free Throw’s third album sees them at their most honest. Is honesty the best policy?

Southampton based trio The Lounge Kittens are back with their 2nd EP 'Have Another...' and once again, thanks to crowdfunding, have done it without the help of a major record label.

Scream Blue Murder create an emotional landscape exploring love, loss, and more in 'Rock Bottom'. With atmospherics, catchy live-oriented choruses, and an overall heavier sound than in their debut, the record shows refinement, growth, and promise for this Coventry-based outfit.

Touring in support of their latest album 'I, The Mask', Swedish metallers In Flames graced UK soil for a run a headline shows, bringing Norma Jean and Light The Torch along for the ride. We ventured down to the Glasgow show for a night of riffs and mosh pits.

Introducing anthemic band The Alchemy, a new rock outfit from Canterbury, UK, who have recently released their debut album 'Chemical Daydream', a blend of rock, indie and electronic music. Do the band impress with their debut full-length? Read on to hear our thoughts!

Deathcore brutalists Enterprise Earth grace us with a third album 'Luciferous', full of apocalyptic anthems.

If there was ever a question on the health of post-punk, Whispering Sons are probably the answer despite being far more than just another post-punk band. Paint your nails black and sink into this Belgian darkness.

B-Town threesome JAWS return with their third full length album 'The Ceiling'. The band explore a new twist on their original dream-pop sound as they explore the rush of growing up and the pressure and confusion that comes with it.

Busted are back and are taking their new album 'Half Way There' out on tour across the UK. With support from Brigade and The Xcerts at the Southampton date, we went down to see if the kings of pop could regain their crown.
