The cult status of A Perfect Circle is only enhanced by the band’s detached attitude to their fans. You can come to see them if you want, but if you didn’t they wouldn’t care and they’d still play a great show all the same. Which is probably true. Despite the band’s rare periods of activity, this is a band whose class and musicianship puts most other bands to shame.

New Jersey quintet Palisades have released their new album Erase The Pain via Rise Records. Releasing right at the end of 2018 - a time when people can overlook new releases - could be tricky territory, so this needed to be something special to capture the attention of music lovers. Here's what we thought of the band's latest record!

Newcastle quintet Tomorrow Is Lost have released their debut EP, 'The Shadowman'. Having spent the last two years relentlessly playing shows and building up a fanbase, the lead up to the debut has been nothing but incredible and worth the wait.

Back in May 2018, William Ryan Key released his debut EP Thirteen and just six months on he’s back with follow up EP Virtue. The former Yellowcard frontman has put his heart on his sleeve during the release, full of every feeling from euphoric happiness to crushing sadness. We had a listen to the EP and here’s what we thought of the six tracks.

CKY roll into the big smoke tonight, capping off a fantastic year for the genre-hopping rockers. It has been a tumultuous few years for the band, but with the now settled, rearranged line-up the trio are looking to finish 2018 on a high.

Can't Swim have released their second album 'This Too Won't Pass' through Pure Noise Records and the overall theme of the album appears to be a combination of pop-punk with a healthy dose of emo. There’s the weird theory that second albums are tricky ones, but we have high hopes that Can’t Swim are going to prove this wrong.

In life there's certain combinations that just go together: peanut butter and jam; the Kardashians and plastic surgery; yin and yang; and now, Phoxjaw and Pagan! The two bands have just finished a UK tour which went from strength to strength and we were there to see things kick off in Bristol.

Dutch metallers For I Am King return with their sophomore effort 'I', and are looking to build upon the strong foundation created on their debut release 'Daemons'.

Tonight is a momentous occasion for British metal and we were fortunate enough to be there to witness it: the culmination of years of hard work and well earned reward for one of the country's biggest underdog stories, TesseracT.

Anniversary tours aren’t always a sign of a tire band in need of reviving. Sometimes it’s just a celebration of music that connects people in a way that nothing else really can. You Me At Six are one of the bands celebrating, and across two nights the band deliver slick and professional sets.
