To kick off proceedings they have also released the brilliant new single ‘Manchester Super Reds No.1 Fan’ with an out of this world video, which sees the band in a Star Trek spoof like no other. Aboard their very own Starship Broco the band set about creating their very own team of ‘Super Reds’… but how much Beckham DNA will they need before things go bad?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe track is a pounding anthem, deliberately jarring and provocative, seeing the band mix huge synth guitar riffs with hip-hop ready verses, and a chorus designed to be shouted from terraces and stadiums worlwide. “We messed about with the song for a while, stitching and re-stitching, to deliver these very deliberate, jolting shifts that we’ve never done before,” explains lead singer Rob Damiani.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhilst nominally appearing to be about a particular football team, the song isn’t actually about love for the club, but the darker side of fandom. “I wanted to write something about an aspect of social media culture I’d really noticed in the last year,” Rob continues. “Of people tearing other people down, with much of that destructive negativity coming from the supposed fans of bands and teams. In football, you get these ultra fans who go way beyond the point of criticism into cruel, unadulterated bullying.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlways unique, and forever pushing boundaries, Don Broco are never ones to follow the trend and the new album Amazing Things is very aptly named. It’s yet another genre-bending masterpiece with electro, rock, pop, metal and more all wrapped up in their own unique blend, bringing to mind the likes of Deftones, Beastie Boys, Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit amongst others… but simultaneously sounding like nobody else on earth. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmazing Things is the band’s fourth album, and follows the release of 2018’s Technology, which was was a Top 5 album in the UK charts and has had over 100 million streams to date, and also 2015’s Automatic, which provided the band with their first Top 10 album in the UK.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGarnering nothing but praise for their relentless high-octane performances, Don Broco have previously sold-out arena shows across the UK, headlining Wembley Arena after selling out Alexandra Palace as well as festival performances around the world including Vans Warped, Download, Reading \u0026amp; Leeds, Slam Dunk \u0026amp; more.

It’s a testament to the ferocious band’s ability to recognize and connect with the mixture of brokenness and hope found in their audience and within themselves. A hard-working collective with a shockingly stable lineup for the vast majority of their career, August Burns Red pour every ounce of themselves into their music. Atmospheric, riff-laden, aggressive bursts of controlled chaos, filled with shifting time signatures and tempos, deliver confessional, self-reflective, and authentic emotion.

Every trial and tribulation, every heartbreak, success and failure, every scar, blemish and wrinkle is another brushstroke illuminating our life’s unique canvas. As Holding Absence frontman Lucas Woodland sings on “The Angel in the Marble,” the closing track on his band’s outstanding third album The Noble Art of Self-Destruction, we are, each and every one of us, “a puzzle, a painting, a work of art in the making.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHolding Absence’s new album is a testament to how our life’s story is never fully told, with opportunities for change and growth found in every moment, from the depths of despair to the euphoria of our greatest loves. Whether adding flourishes of colour to an already picturesque painting, or chiselling away at the marble to reveal the beauty within, The Noble Art of Self-Destruction – the final act in a trilogy of records encompassing the first chapter of Holding Absence’s career – speaks to how we are each an unfinished work of art with new meanings and qualities waiting to be discovered.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA record Lucas describes as a form of self-therapy that sees him more candid and comfortable with his emotions than ever before, The Noble Art of Self-Destruction brims with a level of energy, excitement and sheer weight of feeling that is unparalleled in contemporary alternative music. Whether Lucas and his bandmates – guitarist Scott Carey, bassist Ben Elliot and drummer Ash Green – are performing relatable anthems about imposter syndrome and self-loathing like massive singles “Crooked Melody” and “False Dawn,” gushing love ballads (“Honey Moon”) or existential reflections on suicide (“Death Nonetheless”), the four-piece’s approach on their new album is packed with the kind of vigour that saw Kerrang! label them as British rock’s “new leading light” and Loudwire proclaim the Cardiff natives to be “the UK’s most exciting new rock band.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecorded at Canada’s Jukasa Studios with producer Dan Weller (Enter Shikari, Bury Tomorrow), The Noble Art of Self-Destruction builds further into the lore of Holding Absence that sets them apart from many of their contemporaries. Taking influence from a varied array of sources including Renaissance sculptor Michelangelo, sci-fi blockbuster Star Wars and the Japanese pottery art of Kintsugi, Holding Absence’s new LP speaks to the desire of Lucas and his bandmates to create a project that exists as so much more than just a band.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“It’s really important to state that this record is the third part of a trilogy,” Lucas says. “The Noble Art of Self-Destruction is the final piece of a wider art project, with this record serving as a bit of a love letter to Holding Absence before we take the next step. In that regard, I really took inspiration from the Star Wars trilogies and how people over the years have completed these epic projects that really fill in the blanks and allow the art to evolve into something bigger and different.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHaving broken one million monthly listeners on Spotify and with top song “Afterlife” racking up in excess of 30,000,000 streams, The Noble Art of Self-Destruction looks a sure bet to bring even more success the way of Holding Absence, who’ve toured with the likes of Funeral For a Friend, Electric Callboy and You Me At Six. Previous LP The Greatest Mistake of My Life saw the band grace the covers of Kerrang! and Rock Sound, with glowing coverage from outlets including Loudwire, Alternative Press and Upset. The Guardian, meanwhile, praised Holding Absence as a band “making pop-rock anthems with rib-rattling drumming and mainstream appeal.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith that love only set to grow once The Noble Art of Self-Destruction is released, it’s important for Lucas to emphasise how this album represents that what’s come so far is just the beginning of Holding Absence’s journey.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Our first album (2019’s Holding Absence) was about love, The Greatest Mistake of My Life was about loss, and this album is about the person that’s left at the end of that, and the lessons they’ve learned from their trauma. It’s the end of a trilogy – the album art literally says this is part three of three – but it’s not the end of Holding Absence. The Noble Art of Self-Destruction ends on a note of hope, of looking forward free of fear and of embracing yourself, cracks and all. I think that’s something to be really proud of.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sharptone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42629850595484,"sku":"4065629701314","price":37.38,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/1_ea44ef6f-5c47-4054-b477-927e884a3a90.jpg?v=1692949349"},{"product_id":"currents-the-place-i-feel-safest-clear-with-siver-black-splatter-vinyl-45-rpm","title":"Currents - The Place I Feel Safest Clear with Siver \u0026 Black Splatter Vinyl 45 RPM)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormat: 2 x LP\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eICPN: 727361398835\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRelease Date: 13 Oct 2023\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre: Rock\/Alternative\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLP Track Listing: Side A:1.Apnea\/2.tremor\/3.Night Terrors\/4.Delusion\/5.Withered\/6.Dreamer\/7.Forget Me\u003cbr\u003eSide B:1.The Place I Feel Safest\/2.Silence\/3.Best Memory\/4.Another Life\/5.I’m Not Waiting\/6.Shattered\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2017 searing debut album from Connecticut progressive Metalcore kings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"warner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42666568843420,"sku":"727361398835","price":47.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/1_4160ceb1-51c6-4573-afb5-2ea52fe81fff.webp?v=1695577394"},{"product_id":"alpha-wolf-a-quiet-place-to-die-opaque-orange-vinyl","title":"Alpha Wolf - a quiet place to die [Opaque Orange Vinyl]","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormat: LP\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eICPN: 727361560836\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRelease Date: 03 Nov 2023\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre: Rock\/Alternative\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLP Track Listing: Side A:1.a quiet place to die\/2.Creep\/3.Golden Fate;Isolate\/4.Akudama\/5.Acid Romance\/6.Rot In Pieces\u003cbr\u003eSide B:1.bleed 4 you\/2.Ultra-Violet Violence\/3.The Mind Bends To A Will Of Its Own\/4.Restricted (R18+)\/5.don’t ask..\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2nd (2020) studio album from fast-rising Australian Metalcore crew.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sharptone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42734032322716,"sku":"727361560836","price":31.66,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/1_ba520fc5-a939-4ad0-97c9-f6a8f580335a.webp?v=1697220985"},{"product_id":"dying-wish-symptoms-of-survival-green-with-black-yellow-splatter","title":"Dying Wish - Symptoms of Survival [Green with Black Yellow Splatter]","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormat: LP\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eICPN: 4065629703998\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRelease Date: 03 Nov 2023\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre: Rock\/Alternative\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLP Track Listing: Side A:1.Symptoms Of Survival\/2.Watch My Promise Die\/3.Starved\/4.Prey For Me\/5.Path To Your Grave\/6.Paved In Sorrow\u003cbr\u003eSide B:1.Tongues Of Lead\/2.Kiss Of Judas\/3.Hell’s Final Blessing\/4.Torn From Your Silhouette\/5.Lost In The Fall\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDYING WISH is the unrelenting and unforgiving sound of struggle, an extreme metallic hardcore band infused with a punk spirit.

Now, having earned praise for their records and gigged with the likes of Blackout Problems and As Everything Unfolds, they prepare to release their debut album Forever Undone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFormed while at school in Germany’s northern countryside in 2015, and becoming a serious project a couple of years later following singer Emily Paschke and bassist Lara Ripke’s time studying in North America, Letters Sent Home’s music – an energised mix of pop-punk, alt.rock and emo – has served as a vessel for Emily’s inner turbulence. It’s reflected in the album’s name, a line lifted from one of the songs. \u003cbr\u003e“It took us so long to find that title,” says Emily. “The whole purpose of the album is that I'm talking about my personal trauma, and how you never actually fully heal from stuff that happens to you, but learn to live with it. You may bear scars, but those scars are never going to fade fully. There's always something you can work on. I feel like you never you're never fully, completely satisfied or happy.” \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll of this is set to music that’s as electrified and youthful as Emily’s lyrics are deep. Having primed themselves with their previous work, and spent two years perfecting the album with long-time producer and friend Julian ‘Polar’ Huisel, Forever Undone is Letters Sent Home – completed by guitarist Robin Werner and drummer Louis Schramm – embracing this opportunity and shooting their shot. \u003cbr\u003e“It’s been two years of writing and really getting into all the little details to make the best album possible,” says Robin. “We spent so much time writing it, then rewriting it, going to the studio, getting everything right, to finally get it out now is a relief. We want it to get heard and we’re hoping to reach new people. It’s exciting to see what people think of the songs and if they connect to anything we're saying, because it's so personal. I think it's a big step out of the comfort zone.”\u003cbr\u003eYou can hear this in the way the songs often look outward at the world, rather than gazing inward as in the past. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePurposefully, first single and lead track Request Denied is designed as a bridge between the old, and accepting things that can’t properly be healed, and the new.“That song is almost about how we wanted to close that chapter of always talking about mental health and talking about the same thing,” says Emily. “We’ve talked about it so much and nothing’s changed. So instead of saying everything's gonna get better, we're saying, ‘Well, maybe it's not, but it's fine.’”\u003cbr\u003eOne example of this new dynamic is Ignorance, a song dealing with the generational gap between those who currently control the future, and those who will have to live in it.\u003cbr\u003e“Younger people have this kind of pressure to change society, to change politics, to do something about climate change and meat consumption, but they're not the ones who are able to,” Emily explains. “The song is basically a call for help to the older generations, the ones who are actually in charge, to help us with. One line is, ‘We don't want to put you down, we need you.’ The younger generation don’t want to have a war with these people – it’s the exact opposite. We want to work with you!”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmbitious, meaningful and full of life, Forever Undone is a record set to be one of the most exciting debuts of 2024.

They didn’t overthink it. They didn’t waste a second. They simply left their blood, sweat, and tears on tape—like they’ve always done. For as much as Better Lovers represents the union of former Every Time I Die members Jordan Buckley [guitar], Steve Micciche [bass], and Clayton “Goose” Holyoak [drums] with The Dillinger Escape Plan and Killer Be Killed frontman Greg Puciato [vocals], and musician (Fit For An Autopsy\/END) and GRAMMY® Award-winning producer, Will Putney [guitar], it really cements the bond of five friends around a shared vision. That vision is as uncompromising, unapologetic, and undeniable as anything they’ve individually done, yet it’s refined by experience and a commitment to a future together. They’re in it for the long haul…\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“To me, this band is refreshing,” exclaims Jordan. “Looking back, I’m so happy everything got me to where I am. The pandemic and the last few years made me hungrier and more grateful. This isn’t a hobby. This isn’t temporary. This is the next evolution for each of us. Greg and Will rejuvenated me and made me even more confident. Now, everybody needs to know we’re a wild animal that just broke out of the zoo—there’s no trying to put it back in the cage.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Better Lovers definitely feels like its own thing,” states Greg. “I’m in so many lanes right now, so it was important that one lane didn’t step on another. However, nothing I’m doing is this vicious. This is full-on scathing. It’s been really fun. I forgot how much I liked that.”As the story goes, Jordan ended up back in Buffalo, NY, jamming in a basement rehearsal spot with Steve and Goose during the winter of 2022. After working with Will on the last two Every Time I Die records, they shared a handful of early demos with him to produce. As the year progressed, Jordan caught Greg on the road with Jerry Cantrell in Las Vegas, mentioning the new music. Once ideas solidified, he shared them with the vocalist who replied at 3 am one night in December.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“The text said, ‘Let’s give these motherfuckers what they want’,” chuckles Jordan. “I went to bed smiling and laughing. There is no one like Greg on stage, off stage, or over text. Once I told Will, he was like, ‘Can I play?’ We said, ‘Of course!’ That’s how it was born.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Once I pick up the scent, I’ll go for the kill,” smiles Greg. “We’ve all hung out, gotten to know each other, and it’s all fire now. Everyone has already been through shit. You know yourself better. Your ego isn’t as big as it used to be. You can share your opinions. It’s a cool dynamic.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFittingly, they introduce this era with the single “30 Under 13.” A seasick guitar groove bleeds into an incisive riff punctuated by Greg’s vitriolic and venomous screams, “Hold onto me, try to let go of me, let go of what you’ll never be.” This barrage unpredictably subsides on a haunting clean vocal, only to ramp back up into a pit-splitting thrash crescendo and rapid-fire solo played at warp speed.“We always try to up our game,” notes Jordan. “This is the next step for all of us. There’s just constant forward motion, and we don’t want to compromise that. We want to keep going. We’re doing a lot of shit we haven’t done before in Better Lovers. I’m not going to spoil it for you, but get ready.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“For some reason, this song got me,” recalls Greg. “Once that happens, you have the toe of the dinosaur skeleton in the dirt. You start brushing it away, and soon you have a fucking T-Rex.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe name might give you a hint of what’s coming—or it might not.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo, what does the future hold for Better Lovers? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWell, it’s entirely in their control.

The Australian quintet—Scottie Simpson [guitar], Sabian Lynch [guitar], Lochie Keogh [lead vocals], John Arnold [bass], and Mitch Fogarty [drums]—maintains their intensity on their third full-length offering, Half Living Things [SHARPTONE].\u003cbr\u003eWith a decade of sparking visceral reactions from audiences, Alpha Wolf crashed into the Top 30 of the ARIA Albums Chart with Mono [2017] and followed up with the Fault EP two years later. A Quiet Place To Die [2020] debuted at #6 on the ARIA Albums Chart, earning a nomination for “Best Hard Rock or Heavy Metal Album” at the ARIA Awards. KERRANG! rated it “4-out-of-5 stars,” and Hysteria hailed it as “a mosh-worthy record that puts high hopes on the band’s future.” Distorted Sound called it “one of the great extreme\/hardcore records of recent memory.” Their journey included North American tours with Motionless In White and Knocked Loose and a performance at KNOTFEST Australia alongside Slipknot, Parkway Drive, Megadeth, and more.\u003cbr\u003eIn 2023, they meticulously crafted Half Living Things, self-producing and weaving together a visceral vision after years on the road. The album title perfectly encapsulates their state of being. The album kicks off with the neck-snapping chug of the opener and first single, “Bring Back The Noise,” where gnashing harmonics and Lochie’s high-pitched screams punctuate waves of distortion. Scottie grins, “The lyrics fit how we perform live. The more we tour, the more fun we have on stage. ‘Bring Back The Noise’ encapsulates everything we are.”\u003cbr\u003e“Sucks 2 Suck” hinges on a head-nodding groove, giving way to a bludgeoning bounce on the bridge. Lochie, the vocalist, adds depth to the track with his perspective, “It's about biting back at anyone saying you didn't work hard for the shit you have. If you had the ethic and tenacity, you'd have it too, but you suck so you don't.”\u003cbr\u003eThe legendary rapper Ice-T pulls up with a vibrantly venomous verse, and in his instantly recognizable delivery, he warns, “You coming for me? You gotta come better than that!”\u003cbr\u003e“It’s the perfect crossover of hip-hop and metalcore,” Scottie goes on. “We decided to shoot for the stars and reach out to Ice-T. We gave him no reference, but he did exactly what we were hoping for! It’s classic.\u003cbr\u003e“Whenever You’re Ready” unfolds with an airy haze, leading to an ominous beat and climaxing in a cathartic melodic chorus, “Breakdown if you want to, you can stay inside if you need to.”\u003cbr\u003e“It’s about losing someone you love,” notes Scottie. “Musically, it’s a different song for us. We’re pushing boundaries and exploring new directions.”\u003cbr\u003eIn their own terms, Alpha Wolf continues to progress, and Scottie leaves off with a message: “We hope it connects. We’re incredibly proud of this record. It’s everything we want Alpha Wolf to be. These songs are heavy, but they’re fun. Jam it in your car, show it to your friends, and come out to a show.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 Bring Back the Noise\u003cbr\u003e2 Double-edge Demise\u003cbr\u003e3 Haunter\u003cbr\u003e4 Sucks 2 Suck (Feat.
