SENECA – Devon, England, United Kingdom SENECA and ‘Exhale, Sigher’ fit into an interesting time within the underground music-verse. The ability to churn-out releases and even write and practice has been severely inhibited these past twelve-plus months and yet, the music scene has remained indomitable by a hairsbreadth. 2020 saw a tirade of ironic releases
Full NutritionNurture Nurture – Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada Introducing: Nurture Nurture is simple on the surface but in reality, is beset with such deeper meaning and in-band conviction. The Saint John, New Brunswick duo were incepted into the realm of progressive guitar-music after their respective careers in and around the Pop-Punk and Alternative music scenes
Full NutritionHidden Mothers – Sheffield, England, United Kingdom Hidden Mothers and their debut EP in this 2020 of woe, enter into the lucrative well of progressive guitar music on a journey to the depths of its blackened fringes.

Full NutritionTarmak – Ghent, Belgium Locked away since 2014 brewing an organised yet jaggedly-unpredictable sound, it is only now that Tarmak and Plow in the year of no real precedent make their play. The Ghent, Belgium based band supposedly began as a three-piece wholeheartedly committed to Acapella Mongolian Throat Singing. However, after ultimately and fatefully deciding that

Full NutritionHoneyspider – Lancashire, England, United Kingdom Honeyspider and their ‘Marbles’ entered 2020 this past July and regrettably, I missed that party or rather its initial stages, and I am now in fact late. Whichever cliché unfunny excuse you wish to take, it is largely now irrelevant. Why? Because I am finally finding the time to
Full NutritionThe Bloody Mallard – London, England, United Kingdom Introducing The Bloody Mallard will be yet another attempt to entice you all into sampling another underground gem. A gem comprised of alluring groove and heavy onset psychedelic-tendencies often in cahoots with weighted Alternative and Stoner Rock alike.

Full NutritionQuietus – Charleville-Mézières, France The myriad, maelstrom and wealth of Progressive Rock music and it’s adjacent noise is unquestionably lucrative. Quietus and Chaos Is Order Yet Undeciphered are words befitting of this umbrella and it’s protective and creatively nurturing shelter.

Full NutritionGoing Feral – Leeds, England, United Kingdom Conjuring images of Tenpenny Tower and Underworld alike.
