Stereoboard Look At Some Of The Most Influential Protest Bands (Pussy Riot, RATM, Anti Flag Feature)

Music is a universal language. It's an outlet for every emotion - love, anger, angst - and it is often used to be a voice, be it one of inspiration, or one of the people. Pussy Riot have been in the press a lot this year for their anti-Putin protest in an Orthodox church, and people have rallied behind the women for their cause. Coinciding with them being found guilty, the band released a single titled 'Putin Lights Up The Fires', refusing to back down even from behind bars.

Three's A Crowd: Stereoboard Look At Three-Piece Rock Bands (Green Day, Muse, Biffy Clyro Feature)

Some say two's company but three's a crowd. However, when it comes to rock nowadays, three is quite often the magic number. Many bands have taken a step away from the regular set up of four of five members, not settling for a separate drummer, bassist, vocalist, rhythm guitarist and lead guitarist.

With their explosive new album 'Head Down' receiving rave reviews and having recently completed a sold out tour of the UK, Los Angeles rock n' roll heroes Rival Sons are riding high on the crest of a wave that's threatening to turn into an all conquering tsunami pretty damn soon.

Stereoboard Talk To Sacred Mother Tongue About Current EP & Forthcoming Album 'Out Of The Darkness'

Since releasing 2009's bone crunching debut album 'The Ruin Of Man', Northampton based heavy metal monsters Sacred Mother Tongue have gained an army of loyal followers, including Metal Hammer magazine who branded them as “The most convincing young British Metal band to emerge in a long time”. Following such hefty praise and several high profile festival appearances the four piece gang – Darrin South (Vocal Powerhouse), Andy James (Guitar God), Josh Gurner (Bass Dude) and Lee Newell ( Drum Thumper) – have been hard at work on their sophmore album 'Out Of The Darkness', which is due to hit shelves early next year. A taste of that record was recently unveiled in the shape of a highly praised EP entitled 'A Light Shines', and at present the guys are also busy running a pledge campaign to fund the release of a future live EP. No rest for the wicked indeed. We caught up with frontman Darrin to talk about the new material, the evolution of the band's sound and why they could be playing at your wedding reception sometime soon!

What methods the government use to crack down on this are yet to be seen, whether or not they will succeed in this endeavour is debatable, but what do those behind the music - the bands, the artists - make of the issue at hand?
