With the end of one year comes the start of another. It’s undeniable that 2012 was a great year for rock and alternative music as a whole, but with a quick overlook of what is to come and what bands are on the verge of rising from the underground, it seems 2013 might even surpass the previous 12 months. We have listed all of the bands we think you should keep your eyes on throughout this year so you can get in there before they become ‘uncool’ or just so you’re ahead of the pack. See into the future:

Note: As only a few members of the site were able to review the festival weekend, we were sadly unable to cover every band performing throughout the day.

Extended to a full three-day weekend and being one of the only festivals to be hosted at a wild animal park, Hevy is most definitely a unique beast that’s growing from strength-to-strength year after year since its creation. With the final day now at hand and a main stage headline set from Four Year Strong to look forward to, it’s definitely a great way to end what’s undeniably a great weekend.

Not many music festivals are held at animal parks where you can visit the animals alongside seeing some of your favourite bands, but Hevy is certainly one that provides just that. Now with music spread across for a three day weekend, it’s better than ever before. We managed to catch a bunch of shots whilst there, and now on the final day of bands, we took advantage of great acts like While She Sleeps and More Than Life.

Featuring: Polar Bear Club, Touché Amoré, While She Sleeps, La Dispute, More Than Life and Defeater.

Nottingham’s Martyr Defiled released their debut full-length ‘Collusion’ in September this year, and it’s an absolute stormer. We thought that so much so that it made it into our site’s official top 15 albums of the year, and we also thought we’d ask vocalist Matt Jones to share with us what music has made his 2010 so brilliant:

Surely enough though, they even managed to top it and close their fifth year with an almighty bang!
