Ever wanted to go to a Victorian-esque bar, gamble a little and then rough up the place? Well now you can live vicariously through the antics of Bristol goth-punks Ashestoangels. The dashing guys even dress up for the part. You really don’t want to miss this..
FYI, these guys are on tour next month too, check the dates here..

So I’ve posted a lot about Enter Shikari. I know. Having spent the last 4:37 minutes dancing about my room like nobodies watching (I HOPE no-one’s watching), I think this is worth including though.
One of the best things about Shikari, apart from the great beats, is that they genuinely care. There’s a deep, heartfelt message within every track. Anyone who’s seen the band live can tell how passionate they are about their music, and how passionate their fans are in return.
Oh, and did I mention that they’ll be playing Download this weekend? Excited much? I couldn’t be more..

If you haven’t heard of letlive, I don’t really know what you’ve been doing with your life.. (no offence!) They’re one of the hottest tipped acts in rock at the moment. This music video should explain why. They’ve got energy and passion by the bucket load, plus some great songs. Think System of a Down meets Slipknot, but a bit more dancey. Yeah, I just said that.
Check out their trippy new video here:
letlive’s new album ‘The Blackest Beautiful’ is out on July 9.

Well it seems I can’t say enough good things about Fort Hope.. They’re a great band. and if you haven’t already checked them out on their support slots with Fearless Vampire Killers, or on Camden Rocks last weekend, you probably should now..
Enjoy!

Who loves a good bit of sing-along post-hardcore? I do!
If you feel the same, you’ll most likely love this new single from New Jersey boys Palisades. ‘Outcasts’ is a catchy bit of pop rock, with a great ‘woah’ filled chorus and features the guest vocals of Mr Andy Leo from Crown The Empire. Oh, AND its got a weird, distorted video involving a sandpit. Enough said..
Go on, have a listen. You’ll be singing along in no time..

Happy new music er, Tuesday? Here’s a brilliant bite of straight up rock goodness for you to enjoy this evening.
Lonely The Brave have recently signed to Hassle Records (home of We Are The Ocean, if you didn’t already know..). They’ve also been tipped for success by the likes of Rock Sound, Classic Rock and Kerrang!, which is never a bad thing.
This lyric video for ‘Black Saucers’ should explain why. Neat vocals, good riffs and a definite case of substance over style (I’m sure they have style, you’re missing my point) makes a good band, and by those standards this is a really good band.
Check it out below:
Lots of love,

Woops, its another late music bite tonight.. I’ve been slacking / rushed off my feet with other things this week. (That’s a poor excuse, I know..)
Anyway, here’s a lovely bit of aural goodness that I hope you’ll enjoy! Bristol kids Hello Lazarus have been compared to a lot of bands that they don’t really sound like. However, they do sound good, so here’s their new video for ‘Stallions’ (which looks, but doesn’t sound White Stripes-esque).
Enjoy!

Yes, you did hear me right. It seems Mr Chester Bennington, of Linkin Park fame has teamed up with Stone Temple Pilots. He’s even surprisingly good at the epic classic rock vocals. I suppose it shouldn’t be a surprise given that he’s used to screaming away in his regular band outfit, but that’s an impressively deep set of lungs he’s got on him.
Looks like this could be the new lineup for the band, given that they fired vocalist Scott Weiland earlier this year..
Check out Chester’s performance below:

Have I mentioned how much I like Deaf Havana on here yet? I don’t think I have. Or I haven’t enough. The band’s new single ‘Boston Square’ is a lovely bittersweet piece of audio goodness. Its cheerful enough for a drive in the summer sunshine, but wouldn’t feel too out of place on a rainy day like today either..
The rockers are gearing up to release their new album ‘Old Souls’ this September, with a few choice performances at Slam Dunk festival lined up for the end of this month.
Have a listen here:

Yes, so I’m a little slow at getting on this one. Maybe as I haven’t heard it yet, you haven’t either though? The amazing Stone Sour, featuring Corey Taylor from Slipknot have released a creepy, animated video for ‘Do Me A Favor’, taken from their new album ‘House of Gold & Bones Part 2’, which is out now!
The video is something of a cross between Sin City and Fearless Vampire Killers (the band, not the film..), plus a few zombies / explosions thrown in for good measure.
Enjoy!
