Introducing: Twenty One Pilots

Posted on by

Its hard to think of rap-rock without immediately picturing Linkin Park (its not just me, right?). If that is the case, Ohio duo Twenty One Pilots will certainly prove you wrong.

Blending catchy electro-beats, insightful lyrics and a handful of piano-led melodies, these two cleverly avoid any obvious categorisation. The group, made up of Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun have just released their  third album, ‘Vessel’, which embraces a darker side to their sound, mixing in heavier drum and bass beats with sharp edged vocals. Its not all angst though, there’s more than a few upbeat tunes, ending with the beautifully soft ‘Truce’.

Posted on by

Well its a Saturday night and I’m sure you’re off out somewhere exciting, (if not, good on you for being so healthy / broke..). Whatever you’re up to, here’s a bit of happy-go-lucky punk-rock in the shape of Chicago’s own Lawrence Arms. For added credit, try playing ‘spot the reference’ in their latest video, ‘Seventeener’:

Augustines – Nothing To Lose But Your Head

Posted on by

We’re past the middle of the week, so let’s celebrate with a bit of country rock’n’roll, shall we?
Augustines are from Brooklyn, but sonically they’re more of an upbeat Gaslight Anthem. Well, a little bit more upbeat anyway. ‘Nothing to lose but your head’ is their new single, from their self-titled album which is due out on February 4.

Why not take a breather and have a listen to this..?

Introducing: Seven Deadly

Seven Deadly

Rising from the ashes of former hard-rock heavyweights Panic Cell, melodic heavy metallers Seven Deadly (which includes former members of the aforementioned band) have already received accolades from the likes of Metal Hammer, Terrorizer and Classic Rock magazine.

The five piece clearly aren’t afraid of a few screams, as ‘Blood on your hands’, the first single from their debut album ‘Obliviation’ proves. There’s a ferocious energy behind the track that, with any luck, should translate into a must-have album for all you metal-heads out there.

These guys clearly have a love for the classic rock catalogue, but they’re bringing a fresh feel to the genre, mixing growling vocals and power chords with eerie melodies for a sound that rises far above the standard metalcore output.

‘Obliviation’ is out on February 23rd.
