Well I do love a stripped down video, and this is a pretty good one at that. We Are The Ocean‘s new single ‘Chin Up’ is a lovely acousticy number, with a low-key video to go with. If you’ve ever wanted to watch a band throwing balloons at each other, then this is definitely your cup of tea..

I actually saw Welsh pop-punkers Kids In Glass Houses years and years ago, back when they were supporting Hundred Reasons at the Wedgewood Rooms in Portsmouth. They were good then, but the years have clearly been kind to them, because they’ve just released the video to this cracking tune.
‘Peace’ is a catchy bit of pop-rock with the band’s trademark energy and a bit of angst thrown in for good measure. Have a listen!

Well it seems one of my favourite scandi-bands (that’s a phrase now..) have a new single out! Finnish ‘love-metallers’ HIM have released their video for ‘Into The Night’. Its a nice heavy one for change, seeing as their more recent work has been a little too pop-ish.. Oh, and its got an eerie video too. What more could you want?
Check it out!

I was recommended to listen to prog four piece Empress based on my love of Hell Is For Heroes (favourite band, in case you’re asking..). The band’s new single ‘Blurred Perception’, which is out now, is a little heavier that the London alt-rockers, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t good (just expect a little more screaming!).
Have a listen..

Well if you (unlike me) were lucky enough to go to Reading or Leeds a couple of weeks ago, you might’ve already heard of these guys.. Indie rocksters Catfish and the Bottlemen made an appearance on the BBC Introducing stage over that weekend, but that’s not all. The band’s new single ‘Rango’ has been Zane Lowe’s hottest record (which is never a bad thing!) and is out on September 16.
Have a listen for yourself:

So let’s celebrate the awesome Avenged Sevenfold reaching number 1 in the UK album chart with ‘Hail To The King’ (FYI, that means they’ve sold more this week than famed-producer Naughty Boy).
Let’s have a listen to the self-titled track shall we?

Isn’t it nice to see a band that don’t take themselves too seriously? With all the pouting, dark stares and angsty videos you see nowadays, its good that there are still some bands out there who just want a bit of fun!
With that, I bring you the new music video from Finland’s Reckless Love, ‘So Happy I Could Die’. Enjoy!

So here’s my pick for today, its an actually an old(ish) track – ‘For You’ by The Calling. Taken from the Daredevil soundtrack (great songs, not such a great film..) it was one of my favourites back in the day.
What’s inspired this week’s pick is the saddening news that the band’s vocalist, Alex Band was assaulted and held at gunpoint on Sunday. Even though I’ve never met the guy, having spent my teen-years loving the band, I still feel some kind of connection to him.
Anyway, my thoughts are with him and his family..

Well who hasn’t felt left out at some point in their lives eh? I know I have! (If you haven’t you’re extremely lucky..). It’s nice to see the issue being addressed by Aussies Tonight Alive in their new music video for ‘Lonely Girl’.
Have a lookee below:

We all love a bit of indie don’t we? I definitely love this. Chvrches (pronounced ‘churches’) are a Scottish three pieces with voices like angels and lyrics like daggers. This is a brilliant bit of synthy indie pop that’ll hopefully brighten up your week!
