EXCLUSIVE FEATURE - OUR NORTH 'Everyone For Themselves' EP Uncovered

  Brit alt-metallers OUR NORTH continue their swift incline with their explosive new EP, 'Everyone For Themselves', out on Friday the 4th July 2025. We caught up with vocalist and guitarist, Dan Feast, and he exclusively gave us their track by track breakdown of the EP: CHOKED TO DEATH "The song reflects a point in life where we face financial struggles, working tirelessly just to make ends meet, yet feeling like we’re not getting anywhere. My dad suffered a severe workplace accident, while my mum worked tirelessly to keep our household running. I recall starting my first job and giving my entire monthly earnings to support her." SOMETHING TO BE "Have you ever felt like you’re not ready to give up on something, but society pressures you to walk away? The message of this song is simple: don’t let go of what you love doing." VIOLENT RULES “Violent rules” is another way of saying “one rule for one, and another for everyone else.” It’s about someone who’s willin...

BUSH unleash electrifying new video for “Scars”

  Today, BUSH released the evocative video for “Scars”, a standout track from their album I Beat Loneliness. A powerful meditation on mental health, internal conflict, and self-reckoning, the video takes viewers on an introspective journey through the darker corners of the mind. Spanning 12 anthemic and soul-baring tracks, I Beat Loneliness opens an unflinching conversation around emotional vulnerability — especially the silence that often surrounds men’s mental health. On tracks like “Scars” — the record’s focus track — BUSH confronts that silence head-on. “Scars” is a raw reckoning with pain and healing, turning wounds into proof of survival. From seismic rock choruses to stripped-down confessions, the album dares listeners to feel everything — reminding us that healing starts when the silence ends. Gavin Rossdale said: “This is the most personal record I’ve ever made. It’s there so people don’t feel so alone. Life is beautiful but not easy. ‘Scars’ works perfectly as the openi...

EXCLUSIVE FEATURE: Silk Spinster - Self-titled debut EP track by track

  UK road warriors SILK SPINSTER, are set to drop their self-titled debut EP on Friday 1st August and it’s a potent statement of intent. Ahead of the release, we exclusively spoke to the rising metallers and asked them to give us an exclusive track by track breakdown of the EP: MIDNIGHT LIFE "This is one of our earliest songs. An ode to horror films of the 1980s and other similar songs of the same period such as The Ripper and Killers by Judas Priest and Iron Maiden respectively. A fanciful tale of seeing red which keeps its tongue firmly in its cheek." SILK SPINSTER "This is a fantasy tale about slaying a monster. It is also a song about going on tour. Within this track you can find references to some of our other tracks like Pulling Me Under, Rev It Up, Feel Your Fear and Rockstar - can you find them all?" HOME "A song of love and loss. Reflecting on the past, feelings of betrayal and inadequacy and the loss of a potential future all resonate through th...

BUSH release long-awaited 10th studio album 'I Beat Loneliness' today!

  Today, BUSH release their 10th studio album, I Beat Loneliness — a bold, emotionally charged body of work born from heartbreak, isolation, and deep self-examination. Produced by Erik Ron (Panic! At The Disco), the record is steeped in the honesty and cathartic power that has defined Rossdale’s career. Introduced by first single ‘The Land of Milk and Honey’ a gritty yet euphoric anthem, and ‘60 Ways to Forget People’, a slow-burn reckoning with memory and loss, the album pushes further into visceral territory. Spanning 12 anthemic and soul-baring tracks, I Beat Loneliness opens an unflinching conversation around emotional vulnerability — especially the silence that often surrounds men’s mental health. On tracks like ‘Scars’ — the record’s focus track — BUSH confront that silence head-on. ‘Scars’ is a raw reckoning with pain and healing, turning wounds into proof of survival. From seismic rock choruses to stripped-down confessions, the album dares listeners to feel everything — rem...
