Evan Thomas Weiss’ Into It. Over It. project is considered one of the leading acts of the “emo revival.” 2013’s Intersections saw Weiss at a forefront of a genre thought to be stuck in 2005, and in a sense revolutionising it. Now, the Chicago-based singer is back with his third studio release, Standards.

Excellent hooks? Check. Upbeat riffs? Double check. Waterparks' new EP Cluster sounds amazing and could well be the soundtrack to your summer.

Ten years down the line from the band’s inception, Dutch psych giants Birth of Joy are back with the release of their 4th studio album Get Well. The early 60s, late 70s psychedelic influences fused with rock and roll has resulted in a 10 track LP that is a breath of fresh air in 2016.

Not too long ago we reviewed Cheap Meat’s debut EP The Parts That Show, we pretty instantly fell in love with their rocked up pop-punk sound. To celebrate their EP release they held a free release show at Camden’s The Black Heart, so we headed down for a Thursday night full of fun.

Croydon four piece Best of Enemies released their second EP Sorry State on May 5th. The four track EP runs for approximately 15 minutes and wears the influences of the quartet on its sleeve proudly.

Sad Blood are back at it again with the puns in their latest EP Legion of Gloom. Following on from their last three-song release Ultimate Worriers in August (both are nods to Professional Wrestling), this latest effort is a great continuation of the wrestling madness and misery that this band seems to love.

Max Raptor have been working super hard in the past months, releasing their Damage Appreciation EP in November it was swiftly followed by their self-titled full length. The punk quartet has gathered a solid fan base thanks to their brutally honest lyrics and fiery live shows, this release definitely didn’t let those fans down.

After hitting out a mere first EP, Glaswegian tech metallers From Sorrow to Serenity have emerged ready and on the prowl with their debut full length album, Remnant of Humanity.

American rockers From Ashes to New have recently released their first full record, Day One. At only 36 minutes, is there enough content to give listeners an idea of what the guys can offer or will we have to wait for more content further down the line?

Is there anything the Simpson brothers can't do? Free from record labels and any significant levels of expectation, Once Upon a Dead Man have produced an EP that shows they don't just work with guitars, and adds another string to their bows. As if they needed any more.
