For a band that hasn’t yet released an EP, BLUSH PUPPY are the band on everyone’s radar, already hitting the “Ones to Watch” and “Emerging Artists” lists from multiple music outlets after their successful support slots with BAD NERVES and POOL KIDS . It’s not hard to see why they’re already on everyone’s watch list with the arrival of their debut EP Here You Dream , a cinematic blend of emo/alt/grunge rock, set to release on 10th April via Venn Records. This is their initia

BROADSIDE has never been a band built for standing still. Over the past decade, the trio from Richmond, Virginia has treated pop‑rock less as a genre and more as a moving target, reshaping their sound with each release rather than settling into a familiar formula. Their palette spans the emotional volatility of Taking Back Sunday , the cinematic sheen of The Killers , the brooding grit of AFI , and the arena‑ready swagger of Kings of Leon - touchstones that emerge less as im

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

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

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

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

There’s something quietly unsettling about CLOSED CITY —not in the immediate, abrasive way of heavy music’s usual extremes, but in the slow, creeping sense that something isn’t quite right beneath the surface. Built from isolation, both literal and conceptual, their self-titled debut Closed City feels less like an album and more like an environment you’re forced to inhabit. Formed by Mathias Kom and Michael Cloud Duguay , the project draws from an unusually rich palette—ava

There’s something so effortlessly immediate about GOOD KID ’s debut LP Can We Hang Out Sometime? that it feels almost impossible not to be pulled into its world from the very first note. Built on bright guitar lines, punchy rhythms and choruses that practically beg to be shouted back, this is an album that understands exactly what it wants to be. More importantly, it knows exactly how it wants its audience to feel. This is a record made for movement, for singing at the top o

Some albums arrive like a statement. Others arrive like a feeling. Love Letters , the debut release from Bristol trio MASCA , does the latter, unfolding less like a carefully staged introduction and more like stepping into someone’s world halfway through the story. It is immediate, emotionally charged, and above all deeply human, the kind of record that understands how messy it is to exist and somehow turns that mess into something bright, loud, and impossible not to hold ont

It really has been a long time since the boys in CORROSION OF CONFORMITY graced us mortals with an album. As much as it doesn't feel like it due to some disease-related shenanigans, 2018 was a really fucking long time ago. And now they've got a new album out, the first since stick-slinger and founding member Reed Mullin departed this mortal coil in 2020. Then during the pandemic, bassist and fellow founding member Mike Dean decided to step out, which left only two members, P

Directions is the debut album from KNUMEARS , a rising screamo trio from LA. It blends bone-crushing drums, gritted-teeth guitar solos, and harrowing screams that throw listeners into a mental mosh pit or push them to scream out their own emotions. Since forming in 2021, the band have grafted their way through the music scene, progressing from local shows to touring the US. They have carved their own path, ignoring any how-to formula, instead turning the amp up to eleven an

Reigning from Arkansas, LEVELS have delivered the latest instalment in their ever-impressive and diverse discography, This Will Make You Feel Again. Entering their tenth year as a band, this stands as arguably their strongest release to date. LEVELS are often described as a cyber/industrial group that fuses multiple elements of metalcore, and this album reflects both their journey and growth. Following the success of Pulse , which surpassed 1 million streams, they leave

Coming back with an album filled to the brim with head-banging hits? Absolutely not a problem for the German four-piece SAMURAI PIZZA CATS . The metalcore band, formed back in 2021 by the vocalist Sebastian Fischer , guitarist Daniel Haniß , bassist Stefan Reufer and drummer Stefan Buchwald , has been rapidly gaining popularity among the fans, and it is to no surprise, as their songs get easily stuck in head and refuse to leave at any cost. Their second full-length album, Pr

There’s a tension running through What If Better Never Comes? that never quite resolves — and that’s exactly the point. MALLAVORA ’s debut doesn’t follow the usual arc of arrival. There’s no sense of a band trying to prove themselves in obvious, commercial ways, no over-polished bid for mass appeal. Instead, this is a record that leans fully into discomfort — structurally, emotionally, and sonically — and trusts the listener to stay with it. The result is something that fee

If you’ve got a hole in your life that’s the shape of a trippy, rock-EDM album where each vivid song tells its own story, then FLESH PLANET are here to fill the gap with their debut EP // first flesh , releasing 27th March. Reborn from the ashes of their previous project ALLUSINLOVE/ALLUSONDRUGS, the Yorkshire quartet have already been making fresh waves with FLESH PLANET , supporting VUKOVI on their 2026 tour and organising hometown headline shows, before hunkering down in

Two decades on from their formation in Pennsylvania, TIGERS JAW return with Lost on You , a record that feels both comfortingly familiar and quietly transformative. It arrives after a five year gap, a stretch that has allowed the band to reflect not only on their musical identity but on the strange, often contradictory nature of adulthood itself. Reuniting with producer Will Yip , the band capture a moment suspended between past and present, where the ghosts of youth linger

After a transformative period, FREE THROW’S 6th album Moments Before the Wind captures the static feeling of watching one’s life change around you. It draws on the intricate melodies of emo to take the listener to the liminal spaces that Cory Castro cites as the inspiration for FREE THROW’S 6th studio album, and delivers on the lyricism to deliver gut punches while chained in these endless hallways. Sonically, Moments Before the Wind stays muted through most of its 11-t

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

HELLRIPPER remain one of the most exciting forces in underground metal, creating a refreshing take on many classic areas of metal whilst creating something wholly unique and powerful. This latest release, Coronach , from one man Scottish blackened speed metal modern legend is a showcase in what HELLRIPPER can do as a musical force. As a collection of tracks they complement each other while they remain stand alone tracks. Being a one man project when it comes to recording the

The Nashville five-piece CHAMBER are back with a vengeance. Releasing their debut full length Cost Of Sacrifice in 2020 and following up with 2023’s A Love To Kill For , it comes time for their third full length to obliterate the ear drums of any and all in their way. Enter this is goodbye… , a pummelling piece of metallic hardcore mosh music that dares all comers to step to the plate and make a mess of the nearest jaw. Forged in the fire of the daily grind under the perman
