Waykopp – ‘Insomnia’ and The Forthcoming ‘Too Loud? Too Old!’.

Waykopp – Pau, France. Album Front/Back Art Credit: Mat Roff – Click Here. Hailing from Pau in the south-west of France, Waykopp are getting ready to release their follow up to their debut EP Wake Up!, with their debut full-length, the affectionately titled and tongue-in-cheek – Too Loud? Too Old!. Wake Up! boasted five-tracks...

BOCA and The Self-Titled EP.

BOCA – Isle Of Wight, England, United Kingdom. Pop-Rock, a genre-moniker and label that because of the former part of it’s double barrelled name – as you’d expect – garners both criticism and disdain and often see’s people take a metaphorical side-step in the same way many people do with...

The Helters and The ‘Afghani Super Smack’ EP.

The Helters – Taunton, England, United Kingdom. Judging by the coat adorned by the band’s front man, I would say the band are a fan of Oasis. Review over. Just kidding, Taunton‘s The Helters do indeed count the seminal Brit-Pop band as an influence but their sound is so much...

Last One Home and The ‘Land Of Immortality’ Single.

Last One Home – Taunton, England, United Kingdom. Photo credit: Zoe Barton. Does much happen in Taunton aside from learning of it’s rich history, who knows? Do I have any real idea on this? No, not really. In fact the people I do know who either hail from the west...

A day’s walk in the city will yield innumerable variations and combinations of any of the above...

Only Strangers and The Debut Self-Titled.

Only Strangers – Stoke-On-Trent, England, United Kingdom. Melodic Punk, a genre classification that many hate passionately for far less than the more than reasonable reason of personal preference, despite Punk’s early and dare-I-say pop-fulled and melodic charge. In truth, some the most emotively charged, genuine and indeed popular Punk-Rock bands...

Sorry For Escalating – ‘Losing Sleep’

Sorry For Escalating – Karlsruhe, Germany. Sat somewhere between Pop-Punk, Emo and early 2000’s Alternative Rock, Germany’s Sorry For Escalating have just released their second EP via Horn & Hoof Records (UK), Chorus Of One (US) and iwishicouldstay (EU) and it could arguably be the largest four-track EP you will hear...

ILL WILL and The ‘Sulphates’ Single.

ILL WILL – Bath, England, United Kingdom. (Cover) Photography: PointBlankPhotography. Bath isn’t really somewhere you would normally associate with up and coming new music but if my almost eight years living in this city has taught me anything, it’s that an assumption as general as such is really, very, very wrong....

Versus Robots and The ‘1UP’ EP.

Versus Robots – Bracknell, England, United Kingdom. Previously known as Vs. Robots, Versus Robots are a three-piece Alternative Rock band from Bracknell truly embodying the term”alternative” in the genre moniker. Genre buffs may think I am referring to the Punk-Rock foundation of the genres past and that definitely is a...
