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
As we're finishing up with whatever chocolate we've got left over from Easter, here at Out of Rage we're getting ready for the summer; sunglasses on, drink in hand, and fresh new music blaring from our speakers. 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
Real Life have been running the Punks For Palestine event at New Cross Inn, London since 2021 and this year, on 4th May, they are returning with more incredible live music, activism and more information about how you can support Palestinian-run businesses and projects in London. Since the start of the event, which brings together the underground hardcore, punk and hiphop scenes to support Palestinian charities, Punks For Palestine has raised over £10,000 for groups including
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
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: Tired of Fighting – And Then Suddenly It Hits You
There’s something quietly devastating about an album that understands exactly how it feels to sit with your own thoughts after midnight. And Then Suddenly It Hits You , the debut album from Newcastle-upon-Tyne emo-punk trio TIRED OF FIGHTING , captures that feeling with striking clarity, building a record that is as emotionally raw as it is sonically expansive. At its core, this is an album rooted in grief, deteriorating mental health, and the slow, often uncomfortable proces
REVIEW: Catalysis - Serpentine
For a band that has spent the last few years grinding away in the UK underground, CATALYSIS sound remarkably unconcerned with subtlety on Serpentine. The Dundee metal outfit’s latest EP is direct, furious, and completely unrelenting, but what makes it stand out is how carefully that intensity is controlled. Across just five tracks, CATALYSIS delivers something that feels sharp and focused rather than bloated: a compact release that wastes no time saying exactly what it wants
REVIEW: LØLØ - god forbid a girl spits out her feelings!
There’s a line somewhere between oversharing and honesty, and GOD FORBIDS A GIRL SPITS OUT HER FEELINGS! LØLØ doesn’t just cross it—she basically lives there. And that’s exactly why this album works. From the jump, it feels like you’re being let into thoughts that probably should’ve stayed in the notes app. Not in a messy-for-the-sake-of-it way, but in that painfully self-aware, “I know this is a bad idea but I’m doing it anyway” kind of way. It’s chaotic, a little dramatic,
REVIEW: Bilmuri - KINDA HARD
A band that is rooted in various genres ranging from R&B to **checks notes** Crabcore, might sound strange in theory, but in actuality BILMURI have just released a belter of an album on this lovely Friday morning. The thirteen track album blurs lines between Metal and Country and somehow makes it seamless. The band have created such a unique sound for themselves and this album consolidates just that. BILMURI are seen as a band full of unseriousness but behind the charade of
