Rock duo The Bloody Nerve (Stacey Blood and Laurie Ann Layne) may be Nashville-based, but you’d never guess it from their menacing sound, incisive edge and the dystopia-challenging themes of their work, such as their latest single ‘Roads’ with its hard-hitting accompanying video. It’s a song with a huge sound that hits with much clout and shiv-sharp edge. ‘Roads’ is the latest episode from The Bloody Nerve’s powerhouse rock concept album ‘All Blood, No Treasure’. Unlike most albums, ‘All Blood, No Treasure’ isn’t being released all at once. Instead, the band chose to release it in phased instalments, episode-by-episode, building up tension and anticipation over time: single-by-single, part-by-part. Each single release carries its own standalone meaning and feel, but the individual tracks build up a broader, […]

Despite being arguably Brazil’s biggest ever music export, when extreme metal legends Sepultura lost their original frontman and founder (alongside brother and drummer Iggor Cavalera) Max Cavalera in 1996 after their hugely influential ‘Roots’ album, many thought the band would not recover from his departure. However, in Cleveland, Ohio punk and hardcore scene veteran Derrick Green, Sepultura found a formidable, towering force that […]

Joe Bonamassa has announced the forthcoming release of a brand-new studio album ‘Time Clocks’, due out on October 29 via Provogue. ‘Time Clocks’ is a testament to his credentials and a toast to his long-time fans.

There’s a new kid in town: ‘Pepperkid2’ — the bright, new brainchild of FM’s creative keyboardist Jem Davis. ‘Pepperkid2’ is the guise Jem has adopted for his solo album project: an album entitled ‘Adventures in Pepperland’ — due for release on 12th November 2021. The first single from the album, ‘After the Rain’ will be released October 15th giving a first taste of the high quality, but very varied, tracks its parent contains. Jem designed this album to be what he calls, “genre-fluid”. It certainly escapes pigeonholing and offers listeners a rich, varied, joyful experience: a Peppery smorgasbord of treats, you might say. “In the Summer of 2020, during Lockdown,” Jem reflects, “I moved […]
