Due to the recent closure of the Brixton academy for the coming months, BEARTOOTH are just one of several bands to announce a venue change for their upcoming London date. Originally scheduled to play the venue on March 19th, their UK tour will now end at the OVO Arena in Wembley. As a result of…
With the rollout of new singles that started on the fifth day of the year, SLEEP TOKEN have been the most talked about band thus far in 2023. Returning home after a run of shows in Australia supporting ARCHITECTS, the remaining tickets for their UK “rituals” were snapped up with the release of new music from one of…
Kicking off Rock Sins End Of Year Awards for 2022 – it’s our news editor Kyle Dimond! As a whole new year emerges, it’s time for the most stressful time of the year as a music fan, end of year lists. 2022 was a strange old year for alternative music. Whilst it wasn’t short on…
When people talk about the most consistently brilliant artists in rock music history, the biggest cult bands and the best live acts of the last 30 years, Clutch will always be an answer.

Throwing it back to both bands humble beginnings, HOLDING ABSENCE and ALPHA WOLF’s four-track split EP is a unique proposition. The Lost & The Longing presents two bands with very different but striking styles and that makes for a weird listening experience but cohesiveness isn’t the goal in mind here, it’s collaboration. With that, the…
After just two years (yes, it’s really only been that long) since their 2020 release Alphaville, IMPERIAL TRIUMPHANT are back. The unique death metal/jazz fusion three-piece reached new heights both musically and thematically last time out so expectations for a follow up were incredibly lofty. Spirit Of Ecstasy chooses to lean further into the unbound…
