En route to an attempt to play Download festival, North-East quintet This Is Divine have been hard at work, the fruits of their labour shown in the form of new extended play These Human Ruins – eight tracks of what they like to call “post-metalcore” (think an angrier, more emotional Confide or Oh, Sleeper, with lashings of technicality to boot).

Review: A Hole Inside – Steps We Have To Follow
March 12, 2010
From a land most renowned as the home of such metal heavyweights as Opeth and At The Gates, and certainly not a hotbed of burgeoning post-hardcore talent, A Hole Inside boast influences including Saosin, Underoath and fellow countrymen In Flames. Debut EP Steps We Have To Follow, which refers to ‘a common interest to take their music to a higher level’, was released shortly before the young Swedes embarked on a 17 date tour, spanning 8 weeks.

Review: Yashin – Put Your Hands Where I Can See Them
February 11, 2010
After relentless amounts of touring, an EP release, and a loss of a singer only to gain a duo, the time has come for Scottish sextet Yashin to make their mark on the world with their debut full-length. Put Your Hands Where I Can See Them brings the sound of a very different Yashin in 2010, as opposed to that of when Michael Rice could be seen heading the pack.

Review: Skies Alive – Say It Back (EP)
January 25, 2010
There seems to be new sugar-sweet pop-punk bands from the US sprouting up left, right and centre at the moment, and one of the newest comes in the form of Skies Alive.

Review: Lostprophets – The Betrayed
January 18, 2010
22 April, 2007, Wembley Arena. The swan song of the Final Transmission Tour, a tour that saw Lostprophets reach heights only the most ambitious of modern UK rock bands would dare dream of. Headlining the Sunday at Download Festival? No problem. Drummers being head-hunted by Nine Inch Nails? It happened. All pointing to one very salient fact- this is a band with a lot to live up to. Will we, the listeners, be ‘The Betrayed‘?

January 10, 2010
Fresh from a tour with The Used and their biggest headline run to date, and much pushing back, Essex mob We Are The Ocean look set to finally make their true stamp on the rock world, in the shape of debut record Cutting Our Teeth.

Review: You Me At Six – Hold Me Down
January 7, 2010
Big things have hit Surrey quintet You Me At Six fast and hard, in the past year. Not that it shows any signs of wear on the band, with their debut release, Take Off Your Colours, only seeming like yesterday.

Review: Canterbury – Thank You
October 23, 2009
A first real release is a tough challenge for any upcoming band, but indie-pop kids Canterbury have hit the nail right on the head with debut full-length Thank You. It’s a steady collection of songs with the winning tried and tested formula, and it’s worked wonders.

Review: Flood Of Red – Leaving Everything Behind
October 2, 2009
Scottish sextet Flood Of Red have blossomed in recent times, and the culmination of this transformation comes bundled in the form of debut record Leaving Everything Behind. The screamo/post-hardcore tastes that put them on the map in the first place have been ditched, and in their place emerges some really soulful, beautiful tunes..

Review: This City – We Were Like Sharks
September 22, 2009
This City are a band with a very distinguishable sound. Appealing to fans of indie, punk, post-hardcore and good old rock, the band seem to somehow incorporate a bit of all of this into one record quite comfortably in debut full-length We Were Like Sharks.
