Brighton-based rockers The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster have announced that they’re splitting... again!

Rewind back a year and the state of things was unclear in the TesseracT camp. Having lost their second vocalist within a year, it looked like we might have lost yet another talented British rock group. The band’s debut LP One was a breath of fresh air in an overcrowded tech metal scene, whereas the experimental Perspective EP was met with mixed reviews. And so with the announcement that the band had procured their fourth official lead vocalist to let rip over polyrhythmic grooves and eerie guitar tones, there was a sense of both relief and trepidation. 

American industrial rockers Filter have lined-up an August gig in London today, ahead of the release of their sixth studio album ‘The Sun Comes Out Tonight’.

Tenacious D will be returning to our shores again this December for a run of headline shows. 

Australian pop-rock outfit Tonight Alive have confirmed dates for an autumn UK tour today, ahead of what will be their second studio album.

You perhaps may not have heard of Delphic, but I’ll be surprised if you haven’t heard their music. Although not hugely well-known, they have a rather extensive fan base. The band is made up of Matt Cocksedge on guitar, Dan Hadley on the drums, Richard Boardman working the synthesiser and James Cook on bass and vocals. Next week they’re playing a massive gig in their hometown of Manchester, so I caught up with James to find out what it was all about.

Its one of the hottest tickets of the year - even more so now the lads have announced they are to split - JLS are to hit the road for their farewell tour this December!

X Factor finalist Craig Colton has lined-up a November UK tour, ahead of the release of what will be his debut album.

With ‘Coal’ Norwegian progressive metal troupe Leprous have boldly decided to ramp up the prog factor of previous releases to maximum. Don’t be frightened however, this quintet are actually relatively tasteful, so you can put images of horrible Rick Wakeman keyboard solos to the back of your mind and dive in.

English singer-songwriter and X Factor runner-up Olly Murs has unveiled the brand new music video for his track ‘Dear Darlin’.

"You're only young once, but you can be immature forever," slurs Jimmy Urine on their new album. Perhaps the lyric that could best sum up Mindless Self Indulgence's entire career and success to date, and it's for that reason that their fans love them. With their fifth album funded by these very people via Kickstarter, 'How I Learned To Stop Giving A Shit and Love Mindless Self Indulgence' had more weight on its shoulders to be good, and - at the very least - proves to be quintessentially MSI. 

The Escape The Fate road hasn't been the smoothest of journeys over the years. Since Craig Mabbitt's arrival to take over vocal command, there's been a lot of change-ups, controversy and animosity to deal with and, in the midst of all that, they created two post-Radke studio albums. But trying to branch out the band past Ronnie's identifiable styling on their debut has divided the masses. It's now that Escape The Fate are set to drop their fourth album 'Ungrateful' - first post Max Green - and settle themselves firmly where they want to be. 

American boyband Backstreet Boys have announced a brand new US tour in celebration of their 20th anniversary - and they’re expected to hit the UK and Europe, too.

The long awaited follow up to 2010’s bizarre, yet brilliant, ‘Call Me Dragon’, ‘Heroic Dose’ sees These Monsters take a different approach to their previous efforts. Don’t fear, this is still riotously noisy from beginning to end, and it’s no less weird than the last album either. What has changed is that These Monsters are now more direct in their noise-making, partly one suspects due to their number being whittled down to three and partly due to their own determination to make a record that is, to quote the title of one of ten tracks here, ‘Harder and Faster’.

An International Space Station astronaut has recorded what is believed to be the first ever music video shot in space - and it features a performance of David Bowie’s ‘Space Oddity’!

Sleeping With Sirens have announced an 8-date tour in the UK this Autumn. Having been to the UK only once before (support tour), the band’s current first headliner, which starts this week, sold out in a matter of days. This, which will be their second headliner in five months, takes in the main cities including London’s O2 Academy Brixton.

With the upcoming release of their brand new studio album 'How I Learned To Stop Giving A Shit And Love Mindless Self Indulgence', US musical mentalists Mindless Self Indulgence have announced a seven date run of the UK this winter, which spookily appears to have been destined as long as 200 years ago.
