The quartet of Nathan Gratton-Smith (vocals and guitar), Dave ‘Griff’ Griffiths (guitar), Mitchell Casey (vocals and bass) and Chris…
Nottingham noise rock trio Vertical Noise are on a mission to resurrect unpredictability as they remove the mundane and predictable aspects of modern pop music. The trio of Jay Moreton (guitar and vocals), Dan Titterton (bass) and Sarah Kerry (drums) formed when Jay, who had been recording his own music for years, moved to Nottingham and decided…

If you’re on the lookout for the most exciting new band on the UK rock scene, then Bristol noise makers Phoxjaw are right up there.

We’re particularly excited about introducing to this band, as it’s one we’ve been wanting to write about since first discovering them play a particularly engaging gig a few months ago. We saw Brighton rock trio The Rocket Dolls supporting Lightscape and Maven in Camden back in November, and were blown away by their hard-hitting, energetic…
A little Google search on the Parisian neighbourhood of Pigalle led us to discover the area is not only the epicentre of the French capital’s nightlife and its music store central, but also home to its red light district. One of the coolest things emerging from this once extremely sleazy region of Paris is the…
