Well fear not, Punk Goes Pop has returned with Volume 6. One of the stand out tracks has to be New Jersey’s Youth In Revolt covering the Lorde hit ‘Royals‘.

Wakey wakey, its Monday! If you’re not feeling caffeinated enough yet (and hey, there’s not enough caffeine in the world for Mondays, is there?), this should give you a bit of a jump-start. Don Broco have just released the video for their storming new single ‘Money Power Fame‘.
Have a lookey here..

Haven’ heard of Die! Die! Die! yet? You’re definitely missing out. The punk-esque three-piece have just released their fifth album, ‘Swim‘ ahead of a full European tour this Autumn. They’ve already picked up some good feedback from The Skinny and Line Of Best Fit, as well as a solid following in their homeland, New Zealand.
Check out their video for ‘Get Hit‘, taken from the new album, below:

It’s freebie Monday! Which is great as I’m sure I’m not the only one feeling those tight purse strings this month (hey, we’re heading for Christmas and I’d like to afford some presents for the loved ones this year..).
Lucky for us all, melodic metallers A Higher Demise have felt our needs and are giving away a free download of the awesome ‘All These Reasons’ in return for a little Facebook-likeage.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Inherit The Stars are one band who (deservedly) are going to go far.. This new stream of ‘On Our Own‘ from their new EP ‘Beyond The Beacons‘ should guarantee the Sheffield boys some decent exposure with its eerie, synth led melodies and energetic chorus.
Have a listen below..
‘Beyond The Beacons‘ is out December 8th.

It may only be halfway to payday, but I’m betting your bank balance is looking as dire as mine (hey, September is a long month!). If you’re itching for something new to treat your ears, here’s a good spot to avoid breaking the bank.. Sheffield alt-metallers Inherit The Stars are offering free downloads of their debut album ‘We Were Made To Walk The Skies‘ from their Soundcloud.
Here’s a little taster for you..

Well it seems like everyone is going acoustic these days! Following Frank Turner’s footsteps, Jamie Lenman (of Reuben fame) went acoustic/heavy on us, and now Charlie Simpson (of Fightstar, and yes I’m going to say it, Busted) has done the same.
Taking a more pop side, Charlie’s latest single ‘Haunted‘ is a snappy piece of acapella-based indie-pop with a touching message. If you haven’t listened to it yet, you definitely should..

Hey, its (just about) the weekend! Get ready to switch off that computer, but first, check out Orange County metallers Of Mice & Men taking their new single’s name quite literally in their new video for ‘Bones Exposed‘. And remember kids, no matter how bad your week has been, its nothing compared to what the guy in this clip is going through..
‘Bones Exposed‘ is taken from the band’s new album, ‘Restoring Force‘, which is out now.

Looking for a bit of country-tinged indie rock? Look no further than Peasant’s King (named after the members were inspired from watching Robin Hood). The Welsh five-piece have just signed to Visible Noise, having already had great support from Radio 1 for their single ‘Antidotes‘.
The band have been playing in various incarnations since their teens, but Peasant’s King as we know them formed back in 2012. Performances at Reading and Leeds followed, plus a support slot with songstress Gabrielle Aplin. With a record deal now under their belts, it looks like 2014 will be the year these guys finally gain some national recognition.
