Off To Milan For The Latest MaveriX Mashup Of Western Style Heavy Punk And I Hate You All31/10/2025 
MaveriX
I Hate You All Milan In a world where perfection is the only acceptable mask, that subjective and illusive description that excludes all other perspectives, MaveriX, Milan’s three-piece punk phenomenon just wants to be good, and that's a fact. And they completely fulfill the intention with this latest number. I Hate You All is a tongue in cheek exclamation at the fake world that passively says, “I’m better than You”. The fact it’s being said is surely a sign of an oxymoron? Base desires aside, the music hits out and hits home with a delicious melodic punk groove that is written in lights before them. They create a spaghetti western style fusion with a traditional noughties' punk sound that captures the imagination in two places at once. Let’s sing along and have some fun. A graceful moseying guitar lick opens the score. A glissando evolves into a bluesy thrash metal riff that fills up with punk drumming. A surge of fast electricity and thundering snare and cymbal align with the thump thump thump of bass and vocal. The smooth progression from verse to chorus shows the skill of the band as the whole lot sing in time and tune with the chorus as the music pumps up its intensity and throb. A great sounding energy curls up and then stretches out as the middle eight fuses lead guitar with a punk style breakdown. It’s crazy enough to get the whole room moving, frantic and jam filled with melody. You can follow MaveriX on Instagram TikTok and Facebook

The Birthday Massacre
Sleep Tonight Canada They’re on their way to Europe where The Birthday Massacre intend to explode the minds at sold out venues across 13 UK dates. They’ve even added extra numbers to Sheffield and Cardiff so even more annual psychopaths can find their way to the show of their lives. They released the new album, Pathways, while touring the US earlier in the year. Now that leg of the journey has hung up its boots, the next one is set to take on Great Britain. A merging of cyber goth and noir pop brings the dynamic and shadow drenched sound of The Birthday Massacre to artistic and musically competent heights simultaneously, leaving listeners in no doubt as to the talent and determination they’ve shown over the years. From the new album, and no-doubt to be performed across the nation this November, this is Sleep Tonight. Feedback creeps in with a gloomy edge before a chunky guitar begins to break down the wall. Huge chords with palm-muted chugging deliveries punch in the metal work before a slight calm greets the vocal. A pretty voice that sounds at home among the brute force of the band, sprinkles of synth and chord, before the chorus is given its time. A surge levels the guitar to a new layer, the chords churn and chunk in passages of mechanical fire. A mix of heavy metal, EBM, and classic rock gives the sound a truly accessible yet quirky niche we can fall into if it pleases. It’s a big hit already, now even more of us can Sleep Tonight.

Charlie Nieland
Shame New York City Famous for being consistently good, the songwriting and performance skills of Charlie Nieland give him ample advantage on the New York music scene. He’s been fronting his own band for a while now, and he’s also worked with artists like Blondie, Scissor Sisters, and Rufus Wainwright. He takes the ethos garnered from the 80s and 90s guitar and synth fusion adventure, where traditional rock n roll meets atmosphere and mirage. As the journey has taken turns and directions into dream pop and industrial hardcore alike, Charlie has maintained the original idea that good songs come from good bands. A deeply personal and movingly sentimental album is out now, Stories from the Borderlines takes on the weight of the world one song at a time. One such number is today’s feature. This is Shame. It opens with a steady uphill lift into verses. The drums begin to pump in a rhythmic backbone and chords shimmy across the bars. The vocals pick up the thread and suddenly the band springs to life. A crash of cymbals and full chord progressions merges with a Rolling Stones style lyrical delivery that swaggers and struts along the syllables and sentences. Classic rock feels and swirling effects form a point of light that shoots off into the distance, carrying us on the wings of emotion.

The Quality Of Mercury
Radiate Pennsylvania Following on from the mysterious and enchanting Ganymede which highlighted a new release, The Quality of Mercury glistens and shimmers in the light of Radiate. It’s from the new album, The Voyager. It’s been nine years since he released his previous and debut record, Transmission. Crafting spellbinding journeys through sound escape and song mirrors, the dreampop and shoegaze style compositions reveal a poignant and soul captivating corridor of musical intention. The solo project of Pennsylvania’s Jeremiah Rouse, The Quality of Mercury sparkles with space rock and cinematic creativity. Atmospheres from another world, dreamscapes from one of our most inventive minds, from The Voyager, this is Radiate. It opens with a dread filled heaviness that sears the ears as heat and tension rage among the distorted guitar strings. A volley of chords slams us down on the canvas before a sleek and steady pace breaks through. Indie chord jangles mix with ethereal effects and spacious reverb. It rings out like Placebo over the telephone while choruses of dream entities harmonise with the words. Fantasy and materialism join forces as crunching guitars and grunge drumming hits the wavery mirage of emotion and imagination that decorates the flowing punch of attitude.

Icon of Coil
Regret Norway Since 1999 the Icon of Coil project has been responsible for some of Europe’s most head-turning industrial electronica and futurepop flavoured EBM. They began as a solo project, founded by Combichrist member Andy LaPlegua, and then became a three piece with the adoption of Sebastian Komor and Christian Lund. With a long career that’s included performing alongside headliners such as VNV Nation and Covenant, the band have made a full circle with their latest release. A reworked version of their debut 2000 album, Serenity is the Devil, it contains the feature track Regret. The sound that started it all off is just as relevant now as it was then, and although each further release has drifted in various directions, this central tone remains strong and resounding. Out now on Metropolis Records, the highlight of the digigoth 2000s, always with a pang of Regret. A grimy rhythm opens with clattering mechanical sounds that rumble and cast industrial magic. The conjuring continues as bass opens out and thumps in the EMB sound we want to dance to. Groove and atmosphere bubble up between the beats and the music ascends in a slalom of instinct and breaks. The vocal hits, gothic and robotic, a thumping bass and ripped synths surge on through the jet-speed flight into the moment. It progresses and revolves; each new layer reveals extra pressure and intensity that coalesce into musical semblances of dancing exhilaration. Heaviness from construction, dance stimulus infused, and shady like the yew tree graveyard on the overgrown hill, Regret thumps us onward into the energy needed to continue onward.

Lilith’s Army
Cursed Northampton British, bombastic, and bristling with youthful talent, Lilith’s Army return with a new single for Halloween. Their latest song Cursed (radio edit) takes a track from Doll, the recently released 13 track album. The track will be given a video single on the day of Halloween, coinciding with the band’s performance supporting the legendary Bad Manners. We’re all looking forward to what visuals they think of to put to this music. A song about being tormented from within by unknown entities, a communication with the compartmentalised self or the invading spirit of the netherworld? Listen and discern. It opens with their traditional 90s girl grunge sound. The guitar and bass join the drumming as the vocal design the atmosphere. Chunky chords hit rhythmic progressions as the rock sentiment launches into emotion and twist. Mosh pit riffs hit with soaring and dynamic lyrics that motor alongside us like spirits that spiral in our dreams. Lost elements find their home and broken beats re-emerge as wholes as the track raises the dead, dresses them in party clothes, and sends them to the show.
