MY DYNAMITE take influence from a range of styles including blues, soul and classic rock 'n' roll, to make a unique and potent brew that is all their own.

Taking cues from the sounds of the Humble PieThe Faces and Black Crows, with a healthy dose of Led Zeppelin-esque rock riffs and Stones attitude thrown in for good measure, MY DYNAMITE draw a healthy respect for the greats and turn it into a contemporary and irresistible sound with a firm focus on getting the party started.

Since releasing their debut self-titled album in 2012, touring Europe in the Spring of 2013, and snatching one of two lucrative Lynyrd Skynyrd supports in February 2014, MY DYNAMITE are one of the fastest rising modern classic rock acts around.

RETRO YOUTH announce details of debut album 'B.R.A.V.E'

 

UK rock trio RETRO YOUTH are thrilled to announce that they'll be releasing their debut album B.R.A.V.E on the 3rd February 2017 via American label Independent Ear Records. 

The band recently gave fans a taste of the record with their single 'Hometown Homesick', a track that the band say "represents those feelings of everything you know changing around you, not recognising your friends or the place you grew up in anymore and wanting more out of life, to thrive and not just survive."

Watch the video for 'Hometown Homesick' here: 


Hailing from the North West of England, Retro Youth take elements of rock, pop and funk to create an enthralling and diverse sound. The vibrancy of the material is reflected in the lyrics of B.R.A.V.E, which explore the avenues of finding positivity in the things that test us. For fans of Don Broco, Lower Than Atlantis and The 1975, the three-piece have supported Ghost Riders In The SkyCatfish & The Bottlemen and Press To MECO, as well as members of Oasis and The Stone Roses.

UK rockers EVA PLAYS DEAD release new single and video for 'Bones'

Hard-hitting rockers Eva Plays Dead are excited to reveal their new video for single 'Bones', out worldwide now.

First premiered via Kerrang!, you can watch 'Bones' here:

This week's Kerrang! Fresh Blood spotlight artist, Eva Plays Dead are concluding a highly memorable year. Notable highlights include shows with New Year's Day, SOiL, Alien Ant Farm, Steven Battelle (LostAlone) and more. The low-point of 2016 was the theft of over £3000 worth of band equipment, which they successfully managed to recoup with a fan-initiated and driven fundraising campaign.

All of which follow on from Eva Plays Dead's highly successful EP, Sounds of the Written Word (Summer 2015). Loud, raucous and raw, the release was classic EPD - dark, punchy, and back to basics, topped off by frontwoman Tiggy Dee's stunning vocals.

Hardcore metallers BLACK COAST reveal video for brand new single 'Lawless'

Hardcore/metal quintet BLACK COAST have revealed the video for their brand new single 'Lawless', the first material to surface since the release of the band's debut EP Crows Of The North.  

"'Lawless' is a massive 'f**k you' to the daily problems," vocalist Charlie Hewitt told Rock Sound, who premiered the video.

"No matter how big or small, everything we do in our day to day lifestyle can be hard, grinding work and this song represents being proud of what you are able to achieve if you put your mind to it. We're really proud of 'Lawless' and our progression as a band, this is just a taste of what's to come from Black Coast in 2017. We hope everyone enjoys the next chapter." 

Watch the video for 'Lawless' here:



'Lawless' is a hard-hitting affair, from the brooding introduction to the pummelling chorus, this single is Black Coast at their best: gritty and anger-fuelled.

The five-piece will play a hometown Christmas show this week to conclude what has been a great first year as a band, whilst the start of 2017 will see them tour the UK with Cove. 

Dates:
16.12.2016 - Stoke, Sugarmill (Christmas show)
