COVER - KNIVES: "Moments like that are a big reminder that there are so many people who want change, and we’re all in this together."
Deep in the depths of Underworld in Camden, there's a small band causing earthquakes with the intense bursts of energy from themselves and their fans as they bounce up and down. Only a few can pull off this level of raucous chaos, and by no means are they stopping any time soon. T he energy that Bristol punk collective KNIVES hasn’t gone unseen. A recent tour with T HE CALLOUS DAOBOYS has put them on the map, and a supporting slot with WITCH FEVER has taken them even furth
REVIEW: Enter Shikari - Lose Your Self
Fresh off the press (and completely out of nowhere), ENTER SHIKARI 's eighth studio album Lose Your Self dropped mere hours after a hectic crowd departed their intimate Satan's Hollow headliner in Manchester. The band have been deliberately opaque about the lack of promotion, with Rou Reynolds stating that “We want people to go on a proper journey with this album, and see where it takes them. No lead up, no singles, and no explanation,” encouraging listeners to engage with i
Rage Reviews: Recent Releases, April 8th 2026

Here's what we've been listening to lately: Against The Current - Heavenly It may start with an uplifting electro melody and feature a lifting guitar riff and drum beat, but don’t be fooled; AGAINST THE CURRENT are feeling anything but angelic in their new single Hea
GET TO KNOW: Punks For Palestine 2026

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 Shirley (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
Rage Reviews: Recent Releases, March 25th 2026
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. What better way to enjoy it than by cracking open a cold drink, putting your feet back, and blasting some new tunes? Here's what we've been listening to lately: Catch Your Breath - Blood Money Back with another banger, Texan melodic metal/hard rock band CATCH YOUR BREATH , gives fans their newest single Blood

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. The poster says it all, there are big international names, cult favourites, and loads of bands that are going to turn smaller rooms into the kind of chaos people talk about for months. With clashes basically guaranteed, the smartest approach is to pick a few non-negotiables, then leave enough space for spontaneo

ALBUM REVIEWS
REVIEW: Wage War - It Calls Me By Name
Florida’s quintet, WAGE WAR , are solidifying the fast approaching sweaty and humid summer season with their upcoming EP It Calls Me By Name. Their previous album, Manic, has seeped into the crevices of our minds with catchy lyrics and rhythmic tracks. An album that's created sleeper agents ready to scream along and spin kicks. WAGE WAR have solidified their position within metalcore since 2010 and constantly prove to listeners that their enhanced sound is a mutation of fami
REVIEW: Chief State - Keep Your Friends Closer
One of the most exciting pop punk bands to emerge from Canada since SUM 41 and SIMPLE PLAN , CHIEF STATE present their third studio album, Keep Your Friends Closer . Hailing from Vancouver, the five-piece channel the essence of pop punk with precision. Emo-laced melodies collide with driving rhythms, while their lyrics explore friendship, loss, and self-discovery with clarity and intent. The album captures the nostalgia of early 2000s pop punk without feeling derivative, st
REVIEW: Let It Eat You For Fun - Upon the Forest Floor
The past several years have marked a strange shift in the genre of post-rock. London’s “windmill scene” with groups like BLACK COUNTRY, NEW ROAD urging on a new wave of Gen Z bands to take on traditional post-rock song structures with anxious vocals and lyrics, saxophones and string sections. On top of this, there’s the “rateyourmusic-core” solo artists, combining post-rock with everything from shoegaze to midwest emo - generally influenced by groups like SLINT and SWANS .
REVIEW: Chroma - 25 Forever
25 Forever , the latest release from CHROMA , unfolds as an emotionally charged and sonically dynamic record that never settles into one mood for too long. It is an album built on contrast, balancing grit with melody, vulnerability with confrontation, and intimacy with explosive energy. More than anything, it feels deeply human, capturing the complicated and often conflicting emotions that come with growing older and becoming more aware of both yourself and the world around y
