There can't be a person alive whose heart isn't immediately warmed by the sound of a friendly Australian accent declaring "You legend!" You'd have to be dead inside for that to not lift your spirits. At The Lower Third in Soho, Sydney mosh royalty RedHook provided a uplifting therapy session for a 250 strong capacity crowd.

ALT BLK ERA's track record so far indicates that those gathered at The Underworld in Camden were witness to the relatively early days of a culturally significant music act. With a MOBO award under their belts and their debut album hitting number one in the Rock & Metal charts, all achieved in the first couple of months of this year, signs point to a band that you will one day say, "Can you believe I saw them at a venue that small!"

HIMALAYAS’s second album BAD STAR is a record that sees the Cardiff quartet, formed in high school 10 years ago by Joe Williams (vocals/guitar), Mike Griffiths (guitar/vocals), Louis Heaps (bass) and James Goulbourn (drums), expanding far beyond the indie-rock of their first works. The band are on an unstoppable rise since the release of their debut album From Hell To Here back in 2023, achieving over 93 million streams and supporting the Foo Fighters at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium last summer.

London-based electro-punk duo WARGASM has just dropped a new track titled "Vigilantes" on April 23, 2025. This high-energy song is the band's first independent release and follows their signature sound, blending aggressive nu-metal riffs, electronic beats, and passionate vocals.

"We had a bet on how long the jackets would stay on" Ffin Colley laughed as he paused to remove a layer after only the opening song of Delaire The Liar's final show.

Upstairs at The Lexington, to a sold-out room, Ffin Colley, Em Lodge and Chaz Tomlinson, joined by Tom Pratt on guitar, treated fans to ninety minutes of the best of the band's back catalogue, from early days to the recent farewell release.

On the last night of his European leg of the Motor Tour, the Kentish Town Forum lit up with excitement as Bilmuri (Johnny Franck) graced the stage, enthusiasm at a maximum right from the top of the set.

Bilmuri is the epitome of 'Y'allternative'- not so much a genre of music, more a Midwest emo state of mind. The night began with 'EMPTYHANDED' from Bilmuri's latest of many albums; 'AMERICAN MOTOR SPORTS'. (You'd better get used to these capital letter titles). The song introduced perfectly the mood of the night; a funky, punchy country-fest.

Manchester pop-punk band Hot Milk have just unveiled their new track ‘‘Swallow This’’, from their upcoming sophomore album Corporation P.O.P, scheduled for release on June 27, 2025 via Music for Nations. The new album is shaping up to be a bold, high-energy release packed with sharp political commentary, raw emotions, and punchy alt-rock vibes. The new release follows the album's lead single "90 Seconds to Midnight" unleashed earlier this year, on February 25.

Being called a 'brat' a decade ago would've garnered a very different reaction to the same accusation in 2025. Nowadays Delilah Bon embraces the label as a bona-fide Punk-Brat and the description is apt. Charlie XCX may have notoriously popularised the phrase last summer but in the world of down and dirty hip-hop infused nu-metal, the description reeks of raw attitude and authentic rage.

Tonight, Delilah Bon has attracted an audience of young women and their very much chaperoned men, creating a safe space to absolutely lose your shit.

London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town was flooded with a diverse crowd of rock enthusiasts, raring up for a memorable evening that was about to unfold. A solid lineup of artists and bands prepared to take the stage ahead of the main act RØRY. There was a sense of female power in the air as she emerged onto the stage from the shadows and opened up the sold-out show with “In The Bible“, under loud cheers and deafening applause that resonated from every corner of the room.
