Knumears: "I think we’ve all grown personally and as musicians, and I think this is a good representation of who we are now."
Forged from the raw, erratic spirit of ‘90s screamo, KNUMEARS are a formidable force rising out of Los Angeles. The three-piece (originally born in 2018 under the name TURN AWAY ) have spent years honing their craft, from SoundCloud demos to the stages of underground music’s most revered festivals, eventually landing on Run For Cover Records and Summer Shade, as well as recording with the legendary Jack Shirle y (responsible for the sound behind DEAFHEAVEN 'S Sunbather ).

Remembering Chester Bennington
In the summer of 2017, the music world lost an icon: Chester Bennington , the lead singer of LINKIN PARK , DEAD BY SUNRISE and STONE TEMPLE PILOTS . A pioneer of the nu-metal genre, he possessed a voice that defined a generation and a soul treasured by millions. Nearly a decade later, the legacy he left behind remains just as powerful today as it was during his lifetime. On his birthday, we remember the legacy of Chester Bennington . LINKIN PARK , Chester ’s most recognised b
COVER - PINKSHIFT: "This band is built on a principle of always being honest. If I don't know something, or I feel unsure, I'll never hide that."
PINKSHIFT have come a long way since their viral debut that blindsided the internet back in 2020. After a relentless run of non-stop touring that’s turned early believers into devoted fans, the Baltimore trio have been hard at work the past few years in becoming one of the most exciting bands in pop-punk. Now, with their sophomore album Earthkeeper out and a sound that’s bigger, bolder, and more politically charged than ever, vocalist Ashrita Kumar , guitarist Paul Vallejo

Here at Out of Rage we've been really enjoying the change in seasons - longer days, sunlight that's no longer just fleeting glimpses, and of course, the warmer weather.

The ones to watch at Manchester Punk Festival 2026
Manchester Punk Festival 2026 is doing what it does best, packing a ridiculous amount of punk, hardcore, ska and everything adjacent into one weekend across the city.

With clashes basically guaranteed, the smartest approach is to pick a few non-negotiables, then leave enough space for spontaneo

Rage Reviews: Recent Releases, February 25th 2026

Here's what we've been listening to: Chalk - Tongue Belfast-based trio CHALK pull the listener into a rage-filled, eerily intimate emotional freefall with their new single Tongue , released ahead of their debut album Crystalpunk . The opening whispers (a remnant from the song’s de
KMFDM: Dynamics, Difficulties, and Devising ENEMY
Driven by revolution, industrial metal and electronic beats KMFDM is a global phenomenon founded in 1984. The band have accumulated an astonishing 1.7 million monthly listeners on Spotify alone. KMFDM are widely considered trailblazers on the industrial scene and have continued to write profoundly bold lyricism directed at oppression, political integrity and violence. Their music is a warm embrace from the dance floor enticing you to join in with their revolutionary ideology.
MALLAVORA - On courage, catharsis, and What If Better Never Comes
There’s a particular kind of courage in building momentum slowly. No viral overnight explosion. No manufactured rebrand. Just years of graft, evolution and quiet defiance. For Bristol-based alt-metal band MALLAVORA, the recent surge of festivals, radio sessions, fashion week appearances and mounting press attention doesn’t feel like a breakthrough. It feels like the groundwork is finally beginning to breathe. “We still feel really small,” vocalist Jessica Douek says with dis

ALBUM REVIEWS
REVIEW: SUNN O))) - SUNN O)))
The kings of drone metal SUNN O))) are always caustic by design, with long songs of intense slow noise whilst often having no vocals. This new self-titled album is another release in line with their past work and will be adored by current fans - but is unlikely to convert anyone who hasn't understood them before. Despite SUNN O))) functioning as a two piece, their sound is as complete as ever on these six tracks. They know what works for them and they stick to it. They cr
REVIEW: A Place To Bury Strangers - Rare & Deadly
A PLACE TO BURY STRANGERS have long been highly influential figures in modern shoegaze. It seems that every new acclaimed band appearing in the genre these days are taking more cues from post-hardcore and noise rock outfits than the dreaminess of SLOWDIVE , for example. Of course, a lot of this can be traced back to the first group most people think of when they hear “shoegaze”, that being MY BLOODY VALENTINE , but A PLACE TO BURY STRANGERS almost feel like spiritual success
REVIEW: Lavalove - Tan Lines
Heads up: you’re in the splash zone. SoCal surf rockers LAVALOVE are back with their second album, following up their 2023 debut with a sure fire soundtrack for the summer. No need to pack for the holidays - with Tan Lines , they’re bringing the beach to us. Sun-soaked, yet cool and refreshing; this is the perfect beachside cocktail to sip on while you’re tanning on the sands, getting ready to catch some waves, or bar-hopping through the SoCal scene. They start the party wit
REVIEW: Divine Chaos - HATE REACTOR
UK modern thrash outfit DIVINE CHAOS return with HATE REACTOR , a record that doesn’t just signal a comeback, but a recalibration of everything the band have built so far. Arriving after a period of line up changes and renewed creative focus, this is a release that feels sharper, heavier, and far more intentional in its delivery — a band not just refining their sound, but reinforcing their identity within modern thrash. From the opening moments of Regicide , the tone is set
