Following their recent departure from long-time label partners Visible Noise, British hardcore outfit Your Demise have decided to take a look back at their roots for their far more independent forthcoming EP release, ‘Cold Chillin’. In a 4-track blast which aims to be a little more rough around the edges than their previous outing, ‘The Golden Age’, guitarist Stu Paice gave us a track-by-track overview of the release and what to expect:

With their launch night bringing in entertainment for the ears from Cancer Bats and entertainment for the eyes from The Cyanide Girls, the club night really does aim to welcome their new Mancunian family in style.

Well, 2012 has been one hell of a year. Thankfully, the world hasn’t ended and hopefully that’ll remain the same for these remaining few weeks, though 21/12/2012 is less than a week away now. Anyway, our survival has allowed us to be blessed with many great releases throughout these past 12 months, spawning from acts across the globe at many different stages of their career.
It’s been difficult to narrow them down, but together, DEAD PRESS! has managed to collate what we think have been the top 10 albums of the year. Have a look below and see what we think has made 2012 just that extra bit special and has surely set a benchmark for 2013 to up the ante:

Scottish rock trio Sucioperro may not be half as popular and reknowned as their arena filling counterparts Biffy Clyro, but they pack just as much bite into small pubs and clubs across the UK. Now, reaching album number four, ‘Fused’, we decided to get the lowdown of the tracks and how they all came to be to create the band’s new record. Thankfully, bassist Stewart Chown was happy to fill us in with all of the information we were after:

This year’s Butserfest weekend is drawing closer by the day, and we’re getting pretty excited to get stuck in there. Before we do though, we’ve had a chat with another band who will be performing at the festival, Housefires, who just so happen to be managed by one of the festival’s main organisers, Marianne Harris. Here’s what the guys had to say about their manager, the upcoming festival and more:

With this year’s Butserfest drawing ever closer, we decided to check in with a few bands to see how their preparations were going, whether they had anything spectacular to show us and just who they’re excited to see at the festival. First stop: The Elijah. Who better to talk to about a live appearance than the band notorious for their breath-taking performances and intense stage presence. We caught up with vocalist Dan Tomley to talk over all of the above and more:

Ambient rockers The Elijah have been hard at work on their debut album the past few months, when not touring on the road of course. Known to bring to the table lyrics as deep and thought provoking as the instrumental backdrop that compliments them, we got the complete lowdown on what each of the tracks is truly about from the band’s frontman, Dom Tomley. So, without further adieu, this is what The Elijah‘s debut full-length ‘I Loved I Hated I Destroyed I Created’ is all about:
