Through personal ignorance and occasional close-mindedness, when told about a hardcore band with a female lead vocalist, I automatically began to expect a Rolo Tomassi-esque barrage of ‘mathy’ strangeness and confusion, but fortunately said ignorance was proved wrong with hardcore quintet, Veils, and their new ‘Clarity’ EP.

When you think of classic American rock, you probably think of dimly lit bars, long drives down endless highways and lots of denim. So, it seems unlikely that a new force of softly spoken Americana rock hails from Manchester right here in the UK. ‘Breaking Radio Silence’ is the first full-length album from Jerzey Street Band, named after the street in Manchester where the band first started playing together.

Sometimes it’s better to go into an album with no expectations. The Evil Dead are a band that are about as easy to place as they are to find on Google. With a name like this, they could only be from South America, a region where heavy metal is basically a religion and the likes of Iron Maiden and Metallica are hailed as gods. With a clear passion for their trade, The Evil Dead play heavy metal like it never went out of fashion (wait… was it ever in fashion?).

Melodic rock band Seversyn, from the Isle of Man, are very new to the scene. However, debut effort ‘Five Dollar Shake’ does not by any means portray that point. Right from opener ‘They Say You’re Out To Get Me’, it’s clear to see that this isn’t just another rubbish debut release from a band who are too eager to do things right.

Descension: six guys from Wishaw/Carluke, who class themselves as “Cool as fuck, time travelling, blunt smoking, gangsta fuckers” and who have one member listed as a “Dancer/Party Animal” doesn’t instantly shape up in the mind as the stereotypical death metal band. However, as soon as intro ‘Djomt’ kicks in, you know exactly the direction that this EP is heading in.

Was Lana Del Rey exactly what the music industry had been waiting for, or has the ‘Hollywood Sadcore’ singer merely turned up at the right time? After numerous precarious live performances, aired nationally both here and in the US, we were all prepared to perch a front seat to Lana Del Rey‘s premature demise. But, as expected, 2012 happened, bringing with it the 25 year old, headstrong beauty queen’s second album, ‘Born To Die’.
