Everyone's fresh out of 2000 Trees festival this past weekend, with a lineup packed to the brim of every alternative genre under the sun. If bands haven't been busy playing to the sweltering masses, they've been busy putting out these banger singles. Here's what we've been listening to lately. Against The Current - Always You & I Always You & I sees AGAINST THE CURRENT embrace a cinematic, transcendental sound in a romantic rock ballad exploring themes of eternal devotion and

There’s a particular kind of restlessness that defines THE PLOT IN YOU, a tension that’s lived in the project since Landon Tewers first broke away from BEFORE THEIR EYES back in 2010. Over the years, the band has evolved from brutal metalcore to wounded post‑hardcore to dark alt‑metal, never settling long enough for anyone to pin them down. Their upcoming full‑length release, The Volume Series, feels like the most honest expression of that instinct yet. It’s a record built sl

Things are really kicking off now: not only do we have the iconic 2000 Trees festival next week, but we've also had a solid slate of tours sweeping the UK. METALLICA, MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE, HAYLEY WILLIAMS, and so much more that the summer has to offer. In the off-time, though, we're taking in these recent singles from bands both big and small. Here's what we've been listening to lately: 156/Silence - Proxy Idols Fresh off the back of a tour supporting THORNHILL as well as a hu

DELILAH BON is the type of artist who doesn’t just perform, she confronts. Her music doesn’t arrive quietly and politely; it kicks the door down, wearing platform boots and pink, demanding that you listen and feel something. Emerging from the ashes of her previous band HANDS OFF GRETEL, with a new persona built from a feeling of feminist rage and exhaustion by the misogyny and gatekeeping within the scene, DELILAH BON dropped her first single Devil back in 2020. It was a war

It's well and truly festival season - with a few major ones already having just past - and we're seeing tons of subsequent announcements across the board. Mainly upcoming tours across the UK and Europe, but we've had quite a few albums, and of course, singles. Here's what we've been listening to lately: As It Is - Live, Laugh, Love Los Angeles Confronting the ever worsening political climate in vocalist Patty Walters' home country, AS IT IS have chosen to release a final sing

Aren't you glad that heatwave is over? We're certainly glad to no longer be sweating buckets, hiding away from the relentless sun. Now it's over (for now) we can trade in that heat for these hot new tunes. Here's what we've been listening to lately: Against The Current - Dead Man Walking Still riding the high from their last single and gearing up for an immense 2026/27 of tours and new music, AGAINST THE CURRENT are firmly establishing their latest evolution with gut-puncher

We're swinging out of spring and into summer here at Out of Rage, with clear skies above our heads and a sun-charged atmosphere all around us. We've been enjoying kicking our feet back and spinning some sick new tunes for the season. Here's what we've been listening to lately: As It Is - Do You Remember? AS IT IS return with Do You Remember?, their most nostalgic and self‑mythologising track yet. The track is the third single from their upcoming self‑titled album out in July

“There’s no such thing as taking it easy over here.” Vocalist Mae Seaton concisely sums up what it’s been like for WREX since they formed in 2020, particularly the last year of non-stop touring and finding time to create their upcoming EP SADWORLD, releasing 20th May. “In terms of finishing it, it was tough,” admits guitarist and producer George Donoghue, “we were behind schedule, naturally off the back of that comes burnout, your health and trying to juggle having lives and

Mayday, mayday - we're already in May; time really flies, doesn't it? While some are putting their heads down and getting through their exams, others are hastily shoving folded clothes into their suitcases for the holidays, and here at Out Of Rage, we're prepping for every metalhead's favourite time of year - festival season. What better soundtrack for that than all these new releases? Here's what we've been listening to lately: Blood Dealer - Apologies BLOOD DEALER have been

It's a gorgeous sunny Wednesday here, and while our eyes are busy taking in the beautiful sun, we're keeping our ears occupied with a wide variety of recent musical drops. Here's what we've been listening to lately: The Band CAMINO - Holly! THE BAND CAMINO is set to release their fourth studio album NeverAlways (Vol.2) in May. The album opener Holly! is their newest single and it’s bringing exactly the indie rock we’re expecting from a band like THE BAND CAMINO. It’s a feel g

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

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. What better way to enjoy it than by cracking open a cold drink, putting your feet back, and blasting some new tunes?

As we near the end of the second month of the year, we're realising it's already been quite a busy one - we've had expansive tours, much-anticipated album releases, and of course, countless singles. 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

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.

With a sold-out London headline show, a top five German rock chart entry, their biggest UK tour successfully finished and a fresh signing to the Epitaph Records, London-based four-piece LEAP are riding a wave entirely of their own making. Following their first full album release - Entropy, an emotionally charged statement of independence, catharsis, and friendship - we sat down with the frontman Jack Scott right after the big release to discuss this leap of faith that has cle

Well, what feels like the longest month in the year is almost over - it's dragged on, but we certainly wouldn't have gotten through it if we didn't have so much new music releasing, like the tracks below! Here's what we've been listening to: Dead Pony - Eat My Dust! DEAD PONY are back with a new single, Eat My Dust! ; a very fitting title because they waste absolutely zero time cutting into the action on this track. From the starting seconds, we’re hit with an intense wall of

The Japanese metalcore five-piece CRYSTAL LAKE formed in 2002, and in that time they have solidified their place as one of the world’s leading bands in the genre. In the last 24 years the band has evolved and adapted to get where it is now, and through this they have created a distinctive sound which will be amplified further as their latest album, The Weight of Sound , comes out this week. The band are due to embark on a full co-headline tour with metalcore giants MISS MAY
