I have to admit I’m pretty excited about the upcoming Architects album, ‘Lost Forever // Lost Together‘, so you can imagine how happy I was when they finally released their new video for ‘Broken Cross‘, the second single from their upcoming album.
‘Broken Cross‘ is a snarling piece of metalcore, delivered with the passion we’ve come to expect from the Brighton quartet.

Its indie Thursday, right? Here’s a catchy little number for you, London quintet The Mispers have just released their new video for ‘Brother’. Featuring what looks like a pretty epic night out for a couple of guys (and if you’re bored, feel free to play spot the location), you’ll have that violin part stuck in your head for days.

‘Haganah’, according to a quick Google search, refers to a Jewish para-military organisation which began in the early 1900s. I’m not entirely sure of the relevance of this to the band of nearly-the-same name, but in musical terms, Hagana refers to a grungy three-piece from Edinburgh who make tunes that sound like a less experimental, early Biffy Clyro (and no, I’m not geographically stereotyping).
The band are taking their first steps to rock stardom, or just simply, more national awareness, with the release of their debut album ‘One Year‘, out on March 3. In the meantime, they’ve picked up some great feedback from regional press and the general rock blogosphere as well as releasing this nifty little video for ‘Fuzzy Punch‘, which features on their upcoming record.

Its certainly the week for nostalgia, isn’t it? We’ve had The Used, now we’ve got Taking Back Sunday releasing a video for their new single, ‘Flicker, Fade‘, taken from their new album ‘Happiness Is‘, due out on March 18.
Seems like the former emo-kings have thrown off the sounds of old and embraced – dare I say it – a country tinge, at least if this track is anything to go by. I’m not saying lead singer Adam Lazzara has taken up the banjo, or wearing leather chaps, or given up his trademark vocals for that matter, but there’s definitely something a little more earthy and a lot less skinny-jeaned to this track..

Well whatever you might say about The Used, or in particular, their lead singer Bert McCraken, they’ve never held back on the energy front. The band’s new single ‘Cry’ definitely shows this, its got the sing-a-long chorus, the screams and the catchy riffs that we’ve all come to expect from the LA rockers.
‘Cry’ is the first single from the band’s sixth album, ‘Imaginary Enemy’, due out on April 1st. (Side note: one of the pre-order packages contains The Used branded condoms. Er, why?).

Classic rock certainly seems to be having a revival these days, with Grimsby trio The Brew being the latest to rise from the scene. Despite their recent acclaim from international press, the band have quite a history, touring with the greats from Ozzy Osborne and Jeff Beck to Lynryd Skynryd, as well as recording three studio albums, with their fourth, ‘Control‘ planned for release on February 20th.
Here’s their video for new single ‘Repeat‘ from their upcoming album:

I hope you’re all nicely tucked up indoors and not braving the mild hurricane that seems to be going on outside (if you’re in the UK, at least). To accompany you with your lovely chilled out afternoon / evening, here’s a lovely chilled out piece of acoustic goodness from Indiana’s Grey Gordon.
‘500 Miles’ is taken from the vegan, straightedge singer’s ‘Still At Home Here’ EP, which was released in May last year.

Just in case you missed it, Surrey rockers Canterbury have just released their third album, ‘Dark Days’, securing the number 1 rock album slot in the official charts last week. Its great news for a band that have really worked hard to build their fanbase and develop their music style over the past nine years.
Having seen them more than a few times back in my old local scene, it makes me proud that they’re doing so well now!
Give them a bit of support by checking out their new video for ‘Think It Over’..

Well it seems this week has been a big one for rocking new tunes! Brighton’s metalcore heroes Architects have released the music video for their new single ‘Naysayer’, a ferocious hard-rock piece from their new album ‘Lost Forever // Lost Together’, which is due out on March 10.

Well we’re over hump day (that’s what they call Wednesday now, right?). I think its time for a bit of comedy to get us through the last stretch of the working week.
For those of you who work weekends, I apologise. In any case, watching Southampton prog-rockers Circle Of Reason challenge OAPs to a war of table tennis should definitely ease the pain..
