Alone

by Oaths

Oaths are a dynamically violent post-hardcore trio based in Manchester.
We've been around for quite a while now but we're officialy back after a brief semi-hiatus.
Alone is our first official release; it's fast and loud, whilst having a little synthwave sprinkled in for good measure!

Drowning

by Havelocke

Hi, we're Havelocke from Sheffield. This is our new single Drowning, which is a track we’ve been working on since well before the release of our last EP ‘This is Havelocke’. It's dark, gloomy and dramatic, and touches on the feeling of suffocating within our own emotions.

House Of Hatchets

HOUSE OF HATCHETS have been pricking ears and making waves with their immensely electrifying sound that brings to mind everyone from Killswitch Engage, Slipknot and Deftones to Funeral for a Friend.

THIS LIFE

This song was written about a relative who moved on. Her house was the central meeting place for a large family so when that house and home disappeared it became hard to keep everything pulled together. It’s about accepting that that’s okay.

Rouen

Hey Guys, Were Rouen. We are a 4 piece band who enjoy riffs and also enjoy being sadbois too. That can be pretty much personified in our new single 'Wander' which is our most melodic song we have released so far. We will be bringing out more stuff soon! More irish acts the better ;)
