Beauty in the Darkness: The Xcerts on 'Learning How To Live And Let Go'

The frontman is discussing their comeback record ‘Learning How To Live And Let Go’, which is set to emerge after a yawning gap since the release of their last full-length ‘Hold On to Your Heart’ in 2018.

Inerrant

Follow Your Gut: Introducing South Wales Noisemakers Inerrant

There was no escape. As limbs flew and people young and almost-old barrelled into each other in the tight confines of the Cab in Newport, a one-year-old venue that has quickly become a hub for the local hardcore scene, a single can of beer met its end. Crushed between bodies, its final act was a spray of lukewarm liquid as Inerrant threatened to tear the roof off the place.

Refusing to kick back and rest on their laurels, The Sherlocks have truly hit their stride over the past couple of years. Blasting back in double-quick time following 2022’s top 10-crashing ‘World I Understand,’ the band’s anthemic fourth record ‘People Like Me & You’ is the work of a  collective primed for the big time.

Death, Injury and a Global Pandemic: How Mutoid Man Made the Metal Album of the Year

“It’s like the radio edit of all things heavy music,” Stephen Brodsky says with a laugh. The singer and guitarist of Mutoid Man is reviewing his band’s new album and has instantly hit the nail on the head. ‘Mutants’ is a whirlwind of sludge, stoner, thrash and progressive metal that rages for only 38 minutes but leaves you feeling wrecked for much, much longer. For acolytes of all caps METAL, it’s an obnoxious, mangled, hideous must-listen that’ll cement itself as the album of the summer, if not the year.

Bully

'This is How I Feel, Take it or Leave it': Alicia Bognanno Talks Bully's New Album 'Lucky For You'

With ‘Lucky For You’, Alicia Bognanno has made the most powerful Bully record to date. Self-assured without being self-indulgent, it finds the Nashville-based singer, songwriter and producer operating with obvious confidence while remaining emotionally candid in a heartbreakingly matter-of-fact way. “I'm living in the same black hole, but there's flowers on your grave that grow,” she sings during one of the LP’s many highlights, Days Move Slow, a fizzing ‘90s radio-rocker with a poignant sting. “Something's gotta change, I know.”

Nita Strauss on Alice Cooper, Demi Lovato and Taking The Next Step on 'The Call of the Void'

Try as you might, you won’t find a more appropriate title for guitarist Nita Strauss’s exhilarating new solo record than ‘The Call of the Void’. Referencing a scary concept known as ‘high place phenomenon’, where someone stands on top of a tall building and, for a brief second, wonders about jumping, it actually represents a subconscious decision to step back from the ledge, and take control of your life.

After over a decade without any new music from the US pop-rockers, and with both fans and band alike fearing that would remain the case, it took a confluence of events to finally end their prolonged recording hiatus.

'There Was A Connection': How Far From Saints Crafted an Album of Struggle and Beauty

He may have departed this mortal plane a number of years back, but Tom Petty is still bringing people together through the timeless power of his music. When American roots act The Wind + The Wave, comprising Patty Lynn and Dwight Baker, first supported Stereophonics in 2013, the Welsh rockers’ singer Kelly Jones was immediately taken by Lynn’s extraordinary voice. Yet it wasn’t until many years later, when the duo supported Jones on a solo tour that, courtesy of Mr Petty playing musical cupid, a wonderful collaboration was born.

“It’s weird, for a long time our band played either Oi! or indie-rock shows, but I guess now we play all types,” Spiritual Cramp’s Michael Bingham says, reflecting on his band’s recent (and judging by this video, absolutely killer) set at Punk Rock Bowling’s 2023 festival in Las Vegas. “Going out there, you’re playing to people who listen to Rancid and Pennywise. We’d never done anything fully in that lane before, but we played a 500 cap room and it was sold out.”

Fortunately, fans of the Goo Goo Dolls will likely never have to experience such grief. The US rockers are one of the hardest working live acts around, with their latest UK and Ireland tour about to get underway, but as last year’s ‘Chaos In Bloom’ affirmed, not at the expense of vibrant new music.
