Following on from a very international video of the week last time around that saw J-Rock outfit Esprit D’Air coming up trumps, this time around our video of the week has a distinctly home grown look to it. Almost all the bands are up and coming UK acts, with one notable exception. So, let’s see…
One of our most hard fought video of the week contests of the year so far has seen a band both from afar and close to home come out on top! Esprit D’Air, the Japanese J-Rock / metal fusion band who are based in London, had their fans turn out in considerable numbers to help…
Words by Jamie Giberti and Ali Cooper. We’re just over six weeks away from the annual mudfest that is the Download Festival at Donington Park (we must SURELY be due a dry year this time, surely, please?). As is always the case, “the little tent”, currently known as The Dogtooth Stage, has a wide and…
I have seen Bowling For Soup live several times over the years. In fact, they are one of my favourite live bands to see. But I never imagined in my wildest dreams I would see them do an acoustic show in a church. Saying that though, this is a bit of a rare treat, so…
2017 has already seen dark and uncertain times across the globe.

It’s now just over a month until the traditional May bank holiday triple header that is the Slam Dunk Festival! Helpfully, the organisers have now revealed just exactly when all of your favourite bands will be playing to allow fans and attendees to plan their day well in advance. Not only that, but Slam Dunk…
The full length debut album from UK metallers The Raven Age, Darkness Will Rise, has attracted a lot of fanfare prior to its recent release. A lot has been written, both good and bad, so now it is time for the Rock Sins take on it. It’s clear that there is some talent in the…
Sleepmakeswaves are a band Rock Sins first discovered during the excellent Beyond The Redshift Festival in London in 2014. Playing to a capacity Boston Music Rooms, they were arguably the band of the day with their take on instrumental post-metal. Now that their new album, Made Of Breath Only, has been released, it demanded attention…
Earlier today, it was widely reported across the Internet (including by ourselves) that Five Finger Death Punch frontman Ivan Moody was leaving the band.
