Camden's Bones UK are back after five long years with sophomore album Soft, but has it been worth the wait?

Delivering on a promise of an intense unrelenting pulsation of underground brutalism, dynamism and excessive charm.

It would seem that Christmas has come early this year.

Delving in the bowels of millennial disenchantment, Liverpudlian Alt-Punk outfit Gen and the Degenerates dance in a flurry of sparks originating from our soon to be inherited scorched earth with the impressive riotous catharsis of their debut album Anti-Fun Propaganda.

Having braved the elements, we found ourselves once more journeying to Highbury Corner for a surreal blend of intense heartiness and combative catharsis, with Saint Agnes’ fifth stop touring in support of their incredible second studio album, Bloodsuckers.

Providing the heavy music scene with some much needed new blood to turn the sonic insanity up to eleven; Brighton hyperpop metalcore duo Lake Malice electrify the senses with their impassioned debut EP Post-Genesis.

Endeavouring to recapture the charm of a decade immersed in all things gloriously decadent and excessive, while exploring some of their most distressing moments in recent years; the Big Peach native glam quartet Starbenders, return once more with third album Take Back the Night.

Seamlessly blending together the top brass of their sonic expeditions through the blurry bowels of human-animalistic morality, comportment and at times misguided sentimentality; the hybrid alternative artist ZAND piques the interests of transformative aural appreciators with their long awaited EP SEWERSTAR.

Exposing their militant survivalism with a cocktail of belligerent defiance, consolatory community spirit and the willingness to process internal torment; the East Ender four-piece sonically fringe loyalists Saint Agnes, redefine their longstanding psych-twinged "disgusting rock” antics with a commitment to immersive ferociousness with their latest emotionally charged sophomore studio album Bloodsuckers.

Looking for a switch in their musical outpourings via an improvisational style and production in hopes of truly grounding themselves in the human experience; the Bridport native Alternative Rock maven PJ Harvey returns with her first full length musical composition of new material since her 2016 immersion of innate pessimism, politics and misanthropy on The Hope Six Demolition Project.

Calling all to bear witness to the tempestuous yet illuminating revelations riddled amongst the latest string of truly captivating gospels; the enigmatic alt-metal powerhouse Sleep Token welcome the third instalment to their new age of sonic enlightenment with the immaculate Take Me Back To Eden.

The history of musical appreciation is an age old obsession we as a publication are abundantly well versed in, especially due to the majority/if not all of our collaborators being perfect examples of the MTV generation.
