Hailing from Dublin and now based in London, Tayne unveil their electrifying third single, 'In This Trend'. The new track masterfully blends post-punk and industrial elements, creating a powerful dancefloor anthem that is perfectly suited for iconic venues like Berghain, Torture Garden, Club Blood, and Cyberpunk, as well as any metal night around the world. Prepare to be captivated by a sound that pushes boundaries and ignites the night.

Matthew Sutton (vocals / bass) explains: “With a post-punk ethos in mind we wanted this song to feel like every pay off was another massive climb. The chorus is almost an anti chorus, it's angular and grinding. 

"This song is a nauseating comparison to having an out of body experience watching yourself on a never ending loop, feeling hopeless and sick. So self-deprecating and always pushing that self-destruct button.”

‘In This Trend’ is the second video in a trilogy leading the visual narrative throughout the music directed by Leif Johnson, a member of London based video collective NEWD.

Sutton adds, “The artwork and music videos leaned into telling a story based on my own fathers conflicts with love. My dad being a family man, married with kids and then realising he was gay, coming out, navigating those tribulations and transforming his life and finding love and acceptance again. The 3 acts of the story were broken into each individual video. The Conflict, The Transformation & The Acceptance / Celebration.  

"In This Trend - 'The Transformation' - Act 2 is a literal and philosophical transformation. Understanding the conflicts in his life and love, my dad made tough decisions to drastically change aspects of it. Being honest and true to himself as well as others carried so much weight and I’m sure it was painful for everyone involved. These necessary steps, although damaging to a life he had, were addressing those conflicts going forward and I think it’s a massive inspiration of just being honest, looking in that mirror and seeing what’s staring back at you.”

‘In This Trend’ showcases the dynamic partnership between Tayne and longtime collaborator Wayne Adams, known for his work with Green Lung and Pet Brick. This track is just one of many exciting collaborations Tayne has embarked on, joining forces with a diverse array of artists including Jesu, Cage Fight, Mastiff, Katie Kim & Poisonous Birds. Additionally, Tayne has shared the stage with influential acts such as HEALTH, Author & Punisher, and Greg Puciato of The Dillinger Escape Plan, further solidifying their presence in the music scene.

Tayne have also recently been announced for ArcTanGent Festival, the most popular British summer festival for math rock, post rock, progressive metal and experimental music alongside Rolo Tomassi, The Melvins, Between The Buried And Me, The Fall of Troy & more.

A stirring and textural sonic wonderland, the brand new single 'LAST DANCE' from Australian Oddworld collective Ocean Grove takes an emotive and compelling turn ahead of the release of their upcoming new album ODDWORLD. 

Stream 'LAST DANCE' here: https://bfan.link/last-dance-16
Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/uj28z20WyJc

ODDWORLD is due out on 22nd November via ODDWORLD Records in Australia and SharpTone Records for the rest of the world.

Pre-order ODDWORLD here: https://bfan.link/oddworld

Following on from the nu-metal ferocity of earlier singles 'FLY AWAY' and 'MY DISASTER', and the sleek yet propulsive melodics of 'RAINDROP', 'LAST DANCE' is a raw and riveting anthem, seamlessly balancing the vocal stylings of Dale Tanner and Twiggy Hunter alongside an emphatic performance from drummer and producer Sam Bassal.

“We knew this song was going to be a really important opportunity for storytelling," shares Dale Tanner. "We felt the impact of how powerful the music was before any lyrics were written and this warranted an equally powerful motif. We all sat down in the bunkbeds of the farmhouse we had converted into a home studio, with a setting sun and determination to not leave the room until we had an arrangement of words proportionately epic. 'LAST DANCE' emerged as an apocalyptic symphony of sorts. It grapples with this idea of facing the death moment, whether that be of the planet or a loved one, and how we can be presented with one last opportunity for a loving embrace, and a conscious presence in that confronting reality. It’s the anthem for any listener to find solace and deeper meaning in the inevitable impermanence of everything.”

A collection of songs that captures the band's sonic roots as well as their fierce evolution over the years, ODDWORLD emerges instantly as the definitive Ocean Grove record; one that pays homage to the delectable diversity of 2017's The Rhapsody Tapes while also spanning their entire catalogue and steering into exciting uncharted territory. Produced by Ocean Grove's own Sam Bassal along with creative and performance contributions from studio members Luke Holmes and Running Touch, ODDWORLD is exactly as its title suggests: beautifully chaotic, sonically kaleidoscopic and wholeheartedly one-of-a-kind.

Ocean Grove are the enigma of the heavy music landscape, blending elements of nu metal, hardcore and alternative rock to create a sound that is uniquely their own i.e. Oddworld Music. An eclectic trio of misfits spawning from Melbourne, Australia, Ocean Grove recently announced their signing to SharpTone Records and the launch of their own label, and have risen to prominence in recent years with their dynamic and genre-defying approach to music. Wearing their DIY work ethic on their sleeve, the band have self-produced every release to date, including the upcoming 2024 studio album ODDWORLD.
 

From their 2017 debut album The Rhapsody Tapes, which debuted at #5 on the ARIA charts, through to their sophomore 2020 release Flip Phone Fantasy and 2022’s Up In The Air Forever, both also landing in the ARIA Charts Top 10, Ocean Grove have cultivated resounding acclaim for their groundbreaking craftsmanship and bold experimentation. And since their inception, the group have captivated audiences with their high-energy performances, visually striking aesthetics and infectious melodies, earning them a devoted legion of followers around the globe. Their unforgettable live show has found them in hot demand with tours alongside Limp Bizkit, August Burns Red, Crossfaith, and Don Broco, and appearances at the likes of Download Festival Australia, Good Things Festival and UNIFY Gathering.

Ocean Grove recently supported Polaris on a massive regional Australian tour, and also just wrapped a huge headline run of their own over the weekend, supported by Japan's Paledusk and Sydney's Inertia. The band will next hit the stage at the upcoming Big Pineapple Festival in Woombye, Queensland.

Southern California punk outfit zebrahead rose up out of the perennial punk proving grounds of Orange County, CA and never looked back. The lively collective continue to show their resilience and punk prowess with their new single 'Sink Like A Stone'. The track is the fourth single from their upcoming EP I, due for release on 13th November.  

Check out 'Sink Like A Stone' here: https://youtu.be/SFoH5Vt93wo

.
About the new song, vocalist/guitarist Adrian Estrella says: "We’ve gotten so many fans telling us how our music has helped them. The truth is our fans have done the same to us, and we wanted to write a song that reflects that, we are all in this together as one.”

Guitarist Dan Palmer adds: “We worked on this song for weeks, writing and rewriting until it was so catchy that we couldn’t get the chorus out of heads! It was frustrating but damn we’re happy with the catchy results! We hope you are too!”

Refusing to slow down, zebrahead has been playing shows across the globe in between studio sessions. The quintet will release a new song every five weeks, culminating in the release of their I EP on 13th November, the follow-up to the III & II EPs, which were released in 2021 and 2023.

On the I EP expect more of what zebrahead do best, no-holds-barred, fast-paced, heavy-hitting genre-disrupting punk. Since their inception, zebrahead have sold over 2.5 million albums to date, earned a Grammy nomination, and currently has over 650,000 monthly listeners on Spotify.

Bassist Ben Osmundson shares: “Finally, the last EP of the III.II.I. EP series is here. Excited for everyone to be able to listen to them all in a row and realise where our heads have been since Covid and during Covid. Been a trying time for everyone and now it is time for fresh starts. We hope you enjoy them as much as we have making them. See you on tour.”

Introducing OVERSIZE - the newest addition to the SharpTone Records roster - who today release their incredible new single 'Fall Apart'.

Watch the video for 'Fall Apart' here: https://youtu.be/rll6kFNDqxU
Stream 'Fall Apart' here: https://bfan.link/fall-apart-2

OVERSIZE have already turned the heads of many tastemakers in the UK scene, with rave reviews and rapt attention from Dan P Carter, Alyx Holcombe, and Jack Saunders at BBC R1. In their short time as a band OVERSIZE have already performed at Outbreak Festival, and supported Militarie Gun, Higher Power, Fiddlehead, Boston Manor, and many more.  

Although still very much in their infancy, the group - who formed in the South West of England - have already developed a fully-formed, personal sound. Elements of post-hardcore, alternative metal, shoegaze and emo combine to deliriously heady effect. While the band don’t shy away from their love of alternative 90’s music, and a love of HUM, Smashing Pumpkins, Deftones, and Pixies, OVERSIZE have very little interest in being sonically tied to the past. 

The bandmembers' shared experience of writing and playing live together has found them carving out their own space within the alternative scene, in just a handful of years. Exploring the vast range of dynamics within their music, songs drift between atmospheric textures to loud fuzzy riffs, magnifying and complimenting the personal and often venerable vocals.

On 'Fall Apart', vocalist Sam McCauley comments: "'Fall Apart' lyrically shifts around the themes of grief and heartbreak. Reflecting on a moment of disconnect. How you can feel numb and soulless whilst still yearning for a connection, for love. The basic want of someone to hold you and tell you it’ll be just fine, while simultaneously isolating yourself from the world."

On signing with SharpTone Records, Lewis Lennane-Emm comments: "It really is an absolute honour to join the SharpTone family, home to so many of the very best current alternative artists. To be part of a culture that celebrates and nurtures creativity and artistic development feels very special." 

OVERSIZE are:

Marjana Semkina has unveiled a video for her single 'Anything But Sleep' featuring Jim Grey of Caligula's Horse, taken from her stunning new solo LP, Sirin, out now.

Watch the video for 'Anything But Sleep' here: https://youtu.be/PQrzQ1kiajs

Purchase Sirin here: https://marjanasemkina.bandcamp.com/album/sirin

Marjana comments on working with Jim Grey: "I'm so thrilled with this collaboration - Jim has one of the most beautiful voices and hearing him on my song and singing with him was such a special experience."

On the single and video, she continues: "The song in my true fashion is about a dead girl haunting her abusive former lover and gradually driving him insane (something I definitely will do when I die) and the music video was produced in collaboration with the wonderful Cinebuds in The Netherlands over a very stormy summer weekend. Jim's footage was kindly provided by the old friend Adrian Goleby. 

"Overall I think it's my favourite music video i've ever done and what a joy it is to be able to work with so many incredibly talented people."

Marjana Semkina has also announced a one off show, performing songs from Sirin and more. This will be held at St Matthias Church, Stoke Newington, on 1st November 2024. The evening will be headlined by her band Iamthemorning, and her bandmate Gleb Kolyadin will also perform a set of his solo work.

Marjana's live band features Liam McLaughlin on guitar and bass, Lulu de la Rosa on keys and Evan Carson on drums and percussion.

Tickets are available here: https://wegottickets.com/event/631950

Sirin is a journey of dark stories and fairy tales, told with Marjana’s uniquely captivating voice, on a foundation of detailed musical arrangements. However there is a prevailing darkness and grief, inspired by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, with the first single about by the protests.

On the album Sirin, she continues: "Sirin is a mythical creature from ancient Slavic mythology, half-bird half-woman, she's a harbinger of bad luck and death, and it's believed that if you meet Sirin a big catastrophe will happen - except in case with the events surrounding this album it's already happened. Sirin cries and mourns for humankind, and nothing can be more appropriate in this day and age. Sirin is one of very few creatures that can travel between worlds - a world of gods of light, a world of dark deities (in some versions an alternative to the underworld) and a world of mortals. This felt appropriate because the album is quite diverse in sound and some might think parts of it sound happy, but the subject matter is almost always quite morbid, which creates a contrast that I enjoy.

"I was never very political and I always tried to keep my art within the realms of lore, literature and imagination. But when events like the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine happen, it is impossible - and I'd even say, unforgivable - to stay silent and do nothing. Thankfully being based in the UK I feel rather safe speaking out against the current regime and I do have a platform that I can use to try and show the world that Russians disagree with the actions of the Russian government, and there are so many of us that only wish for this to be over. I'm just trying to show it in the most artistic way I can muster."

Now permanently based in the UK, Marjana has been an active campaigner against the Russian occupation in Ukraine and has raised thousands of pounds via her activities to support the victims of war. She will continue her work, including selling a number of a limited run of handwritten lyrics from Sirin, with the money going to Ukrainian charities. Acts punishable by 15 years imprisonment should she return home.
 
Marjana is joined by an array of world class musicians (detailed below), which includes two very special guest vocal performances from Jim Grey (Caligula’s Horse) and Mick Moss (Antimatter).

Known for her work as the vocalist of prog duo Iamthemorning, self-exiled Russian Marjana has forged a successful solo career with two critically acclaimed solo releases: her 2020 debut solo album Sleepwalking, and 2021 follow-up EP Disillusioned.
 
Marjana has previously collaborated with many incredible artists, including The Flower Kings, Jordan Rudess, Blackbriar, as well as Anna Murphy with their Maer project. Combined with her work in Iamthemorning, her experiences have enabled her to become one of the most unique and exciting solo artists in the progressive world today.

Grigoriy Losenkov - piano, bass guitar, synths, drum programming
Vlad Avy - electric guitar, synths, drum programming

Dublin/Leipzig-based rock duo Bicurious have unveiled their exhilarating new album Your Life is Over Now… (4th October 2024, Big Scary Monsters). To celebrate album release day, the two-piece have revealed the new video for their song 'Monday Afternoon'. 

Watch the video for 'Monday Afternoon' here: https://youtu.be/15SHoxy04mU

Purchase Your Life is Over Now... here: https://orcd.co/ylion

Drawing influence from Biffy Clyro, Reuben and Thrice, Your Life is Over Now... is a much more lyrical body of work than Bicurious’ previous material, as the band tread new sonic ground. Thematically, the album explores the various facets of the idea of family - including Bicurious' own fans, who crowdfunded over €9000 to help make the record.

On 'Monday Afternoon', guitarist/vocalist Taran Plouzané comments: “Monday Afternoon was part of the first few vocal-led songs we wrote for this album. It's about feeling like a waste of space, not really having any life prospects, needing to grow up, cop on, but not knowing how to do so. I like the contrast between the upbeat nature of the song, its major tonality, and the bleak, relatively depressing lyrical content. It almost emphasises the lack of direction the protagonist is feeling. It's like "I'm such a waste, I might as well sing a happy song about it, because what's the point". 

"We actually almost dropped this song from the recording plan, because it was one of the oldest out of this batch of tunes, and I guess we were a little bored of it, or didn't think it was as good as the others. However, when we started working on pre-production with Tom (Peters), Monday Afternoon became one of his favourites from the album. Through pre-production and the recording process, we gave the song a freshness that made us fall in love with it again."
 
The duo are heading out on a UK/Ireland in October and November to celebrate the release of the album. Catch them at one of the following dates:
 
Oct 15: UK Glasgow Hug and Pint
Oct 16: UK Sheffield Corporation
Oct 17: UK Manchester Star and Garter
Oct 18: UK London Lexington
Oct 19: UK Bristol Rough Trade

Nov 21: IE Dublin Grand Social

Bicurious are Gavin Purcell (drums) and Taran Plouzané (guitar/vocals); a confused, loud two-piece from Dublin, Ireland. They’ve built a loyal fanbase through extensive touring and have won over crowds both at home and abroad, establishing themselves as a recognisable force on the European rock scene.
 
Known for riff sing-alongs, grooves that open up mosh pits and get heads banging, and the undeniable chemistry between the two remarkable musicians, Bicurious have taken their captivating live show across Europe for the last seven years.
 
Bicurious juxtapose spacey and rhythmic with heavy and delirious. They build wide, engaging soundscapes that sway between math-rock riffs, post-rock progressions and noisy breakdowns, while keeping a strong focus on catchy hooks. The band’s songs have been known to feature vocal samples from political figures, aiming to bring to light social injustice in Ireland and beyond.
 
Formed in 2016, Bicurious released their debut singles 'Sugar Beats' and 'T.O.I' in 2017, followed by their debut EP I'm So Confused - crowdfunded by fans via a fundraising campaign and a sold-out fundraiser gig. Released in 2018, Bicurious celebrated with a sold-out show at Whelan's, Dublin. The lead single from the EP, 'Sleep', has clocked up over three million streams on Spotify.
 
In 2019 Bicurious released the single 'I Don't Do Drugs, I Just Sweat a Lot', supported with UK and Ireland tours, and festival appearances at Knockanstockan, Vantastival, Electric Picnic and more in summer 2019. With momentum continuing, Bicurious' debut album (re)constructed was unveiled in July 2021, to critical acclaim from press and fans alike, including Metal Hammer, Prog Magazine and GuitarWorld.

(re)constructed thematically follows a timeline of events highlighting the members’ dramatic life changes in the three years leading to the release. The aftermath of the album release saw Bicurious perform at ArcTanGent festival in 2022 and 2023, Portals Festival and The Great Escape to name but a few. 

And now to 2024, with new label home Big Scary Monsters and second album Your Life is Over Now... The record, which was created over 18 months, three countries and five recording studios is testament to just how far this special, deliriously raucous duo, have come.

Bicurious are:
Taran Plouzané (guitar/vocals)

Swedish progressive metalcore alchemists Allt have released their highly anticipated debut album FromThe New World, via Century Media Records. The band have also announced an extensive UK/EU headline tour in March 2025.

Founded in Berlin by brothers Felix and Paul Vogelgesang, this metalcore act VIANOVA emerged from their shared vision of creating authentic, emotionally-driven music when they relocated to the city in 2014. The lineup solidified in 2017 with the addition of vocalist Alexander Kerski. Between 2015 and 2019, they released a five-track EP and two singles, building their presence in the German live music scene while navigating lineup changes.

Now back with fresh music, VIANOVA push their sound even further. This new chapter aims for a raw, fierce, and dynamic approach in both mixing and songwriting. Influences from genres outside metalcore - such as soul, jazz, R&B, and 80's synths - reflect their commitment to breaking genre boundaries. Accompanying this sonic evolution is a vibrant visual transformation, characterised by a focused and youthful energy that injects fun into a metalcore landscape often perceived as stagnant.

The first single from this new writing cycle, titled 'Más Rápido' is an energetic and upbeat track that seamlessly blends the band’s old and new styles. Lyrically, it explores themes of modern working culture and burnout, addressing the pressures of contemporary life. The track was mixed by their producer, Leon Schmidt, and mastered by renowned engineer Jens Bogren, providing a warm, dynamic edge to VIANOVA's evolving sound.

During the 2020 pandemic, VIANOVA reinvented their musical and visual identity, evolving their sound with the arrival of bassist Raoul Zillani. This new phase embraced a more technical, aggressive, and imaginative style, culminating in their EP Looking For... and the follow-up, ...A Way Out, released in 2023. These efforts garnered international attention and led to management by Lukas Magyar (Veil of Maya) in mid-2023. The band has since performed extensively across Germany, solidifying their position as a rising force in the metalcore genre.
