Here’s a chance for a good old history lesson that involves the 90s’ grunge icons Screaming Trees, Seattle super group Mad Season, Queens of the Stone age, Isobel Campbell and Greg Dulli’s Gutter Twins. What do they all have in common? The answer of course is Mark Lanegan.

Working with some of the most provocative talent New York City has produced in the last ten years, Constantine V. fronts his exciting new project DREAMSHOW. ‘Chasing Control’, the title track and first single to be taken from the debut EP introduces Constantine’s distinct rasped vocal over a romantic indie-pop ballad, an opening gambit that sparks the first flame of intrigue but leaves you wondering what’s next and where it’ll take you.

In the run up to their eagerly awaited new EP release; Sheffield’s (UK) emerging alt/metal-core outfit Inherit The Stars are offering their critically acclaimed 2013 debut album ‘We Were Made To Walk The Skies’ as a free download.

All dance music compilations albums are the same. Tired collections of songs remixed for the 14th time by some unknown DJ under the banner of big brand dance label.  Right?  Well its not always been like that....

After a month of teasing, Philadelphia’s Restorations is pleased to announce the release of their highly anticipated third full-length, LP3, on October 27 in the UK.

Dragged Into Sunlight have left a permanent scar on the extreme metal community ever since they emerged with their debut, Hatred For Mankind. Countless live shows (including prestigious festival slots at Maryland Deathfest, Incubate, Damnation and their recent Japanese tour) have further cemented their place as one of the most visceral and cathartic live bands in extreme music. Their latest album, the eerie masterpiece Widowmaker, revealed a darkly beautiful side to their songwriting, creating much anticipation for their upcoming new full length, which is rumoured to arrive next year.

Driven by a crashing rhythmic force and insistent synth-lines 'Stones in the Water's lyric draws you into an almost mythical, shadowy description of nature: mysterious stones in water and tongues that glow in the dark. 

Ásgeir has also announced the release of ‘In The Silence – Deluxe Edition’ on 24th November which will be available as a limited edition CD and DL. The brand new artwork is above.

Misgivings began as an idea in 2013, after a drunken chat at a squat show In Hamburg. Based in Portsmouth, UK, they combine a love of travelling, touring, drinking beers and bands such as Samiam, Jawbreaker, Husker Du, Strung Out, Alkaline Trio & Title Fight. Misgivings are stamping their own style on the current Punk scene. 

We were invited to come along to the Cavern Club in Exeter to see what the hype was all about, whilst he was preparing to take to the stage, he invited us into the 'Green Room' where we could sit and have a chat about Llama's, towelling bath robes and haggis, here's how we got on....

Grammy winning singer-songwriter DAN WILSON releases his brand new single ‘LOVE WITHOUT FEAR’ on Ballroom Music via Kobalt Label Services on October 27th 2014. The single is the bitter-sweet title track from his new critically acclaimed solo album and was described by Sunday Times as having a “country rock gait that walks in step with sharp lyrics (‘I’ll call you when I want to hear / my voice whisper in your voicemail’s ear’)”.

MisterWives have unveiled the official video for ‘Reflections’, the title track from the New York City trio’s debut EP released earlier this year. Steeped in the band’s unmistakable blend of shimmering indie art-pop, the ‘Reflections’ video sees MisterWives heading back to their high school years and opting for playtime over study.
