Norwegian indie rock band Beezewax are back after five years with new album 'Peace Jazz', an exploration of their own live sound that takes a contemplative look on their past few years on the road.
2015’s BBC Introducing upcoming band of the year, SPQR are here with their new heartfelt art-rock EP, 'Low Sun Long Shadows'. Short and to the point, this EP reaffirms the band’s talent within the post-punk realms and leaves you scratching for more.
Ohio rockers Nine Shrines' spirited intent to dominate the rock realm pursues in their latest record 'Retribution Therapy', broadly blending between the extremities of metalcore and euphonious melodic songwriting. Surfacing in the music scene in 2014, the Cleveland cohort is derived of members from nostalgic noughties alternative artists Attack Attack!, Downplay, Life on Repeat and Strangers to Wolves, arising as the new Nine Shrines moniker. Now, the band are stepping out with repressed angst, articulated in their ruthlessly incendiary new record.
It can be very easy once you've been a band for a while to basically phone it in, play some 7/10 tracks and just do the bare minimum to please your base audience and keep the ticket sales flowing. After The Burial have not done this. Their new album 'Evergreen' is an absolute must listen for anyone who likes their metal technically accomplished.
Veteran hardcore stars Polar return with 'Nova', their fourth full length, and by their own account, most personal work to date. A newfound maturity and experimentation sees the band build on their last effort with mixed results.
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?

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.
