Our final New Band of the Week of 2023 takes us over to the east coast of Northern Ireland to discover punk rock quartet The New Normal. The band have crafted a lively punk sound that they describe as “loud and angry” and tell us “if you’ve ever played any of the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater games, we are for you!”
Norfolk band Read The Room have crafted an infectious pop-rock sound that fuses elements of alternative rock and emo and they describe as “non-stop bops.”
Manchester band WYRES aim to transport you back to 2004 with an infectious and nostalgic punk rock sound that they describe as “serious MySpace vibes” and”melodic, sincere and no-nonsense.”
Cheltenham band Quiet Pills offer up an enthralling indie sound with edges of rock and shoegaze that they describe as “angsty Joy Division.”
If you prefer your rock to be a bit weird, eclectic, random and guided by the advice of an alien then Hertfordshire quartet HeadAche are going to be the band for you.

New Jersey’s FRND CRCL have honed an infectious, nostalgic pop-punk sound built on engaging vocals and cheeky lyrics, which they describe as “majestic, energetic and fun.”
French band The Dead Krazukies offer up a hugely enjoyable nod to 90s skate punk with metal and hardcore edges that they summarise as “energetic, dramatic and catchy” – and definitely not emo.

London-based punk newcomers Television Screams have honed a riotous sound that they describe as “spooky, sexy and fun.”
