We’re just a few days away now from the gates of Donington being thrust wide open and then Download Festival 2024 will commence! To get you in the mood, or maybe to persuade you to part with your hard earned cash for some last minute tickets, here are ten of the bands Rock Sins thinks…
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…
Following a phenomenal return this year after an unexpected few years off, we’ve been counting down to 2000 Trees 2023 since the last day of the festival in July. Having recently given us our ‘returning heroes’ acts for the Wednesday of the festival, we’ve all been eager to know who else we’ll be seeing at…
We start the playlist this week on a more sombre note in memory of Taylor Hawkins, who sadly passed away just over a week ago. Hawkins was one of the best drummers in rock and we felt that ‘Low‘ off of Foo Fighters fourth album is a perfect example of why he was held in…

Allow me, if you will, to get on my soapbox and shout about all the bloody brilliant music that has come out this year. If you’re willing to listen – not to me mind, to the music – you will find that 2019 has been one of the best years of the decade and as the 10s draw to their eventual but inevitable close, join me as we look at my top 20 (ish, I cheated) albums and five EPs of the year.
Straight from our man on the ground at ArcTangent 2019, Sam Savigny, here are the highlights of an excellent first day at the festival! Administering a different form of potent emotion were Ithaca. Where The Beft traded in the joys of life, Ithaca expel the bile inducing rage of one thousand angry punters, which pretty…
Our first video of the week contest for 2019 brought one of the most hotly contest battles we’ve had in some time, but in the end a winner was crowned. UK metallic hardcore outfit Ithaca went toe-to-toe with US metal outfit IMonolith (who if you aren’t familiar with, are a supergroup with members of The…
After our Spotify playlist being quiet for awhile, we’re back with a bang. Twenty fresh songs for you all to enjoy, and a real mix of brand new stormers and old favourites.

After the huge excitement and insane numbers of votes that carried Not Ur Girlfrenz to the title of video of the year for 2018, it’s time to start all over again with Rock Sins video of the week contests in 2019! A brand new band, featuring members of many excellent bands are kicking us off…
