This week marks the release of Birthmarks' debut album '...And Then The Rain Stopped'. Born from the ashes of the Little Death Machine, the trio's introspective debut album combines elements of electronica, trip-hop and rock with vocalist/guitarist Daniel Cross' highly personal lyrics. We caught up with Cross ahead of the release to find out when he first started making music, what Birthmarks want to achieve and more.

The video stars Tony Cavalero, check it out here.

The track is taken from the band's forthcoming debut album, 'Paradise'.

It was only less than a month ago since Anvil released their latest studio album, Legal At Last which followed their 2018 release Pounding The Pavement. In support of this new material they recently headed out on a UK tour, with support for the Manchester show being provided by Ragdoll Sunday and Electus.

The new track features a guest appearance from PENGSHUi's Illaman.

This week sees the release of THE HARA's new EP We Are The Movement, and if latest single Tokyo Hit is anything to go by you can expect plenty of thumping, singalong choruses, high-energy riffs and punchy percussion. The alt-rock/pop trio's upcoming tour has been postponed until later this year due to the coronavirus pandemic, but to keep spirits high we sat down with the band to hear some of their best stories from the road.
