Manchester's Premier Hardcore Punk and Alternative Music Festival - OUTBREAK FEST Review

Outbreak Fest is a hardcore punk and alternative music festival located in the heart of Manchester at Depot Mayfield.

2000 Trees Festival Preview

2000trees Festival is an independent music festival held from Wednesday to Sunday on the second week of July at Upcote Farm, Withington, near Cheltenham in Gloucestershire. Dubbed by both Kerrang! Magazine and Total Guitar as Britain's coolest festival, 2000Trees is a raucous, rough-edged and joyous three-day extravaganza that any fan of rock, punk and anti-mainstream society would be foolish to miss out on!

Lewis MacRae & Matthew Dix (Rituals)

Kerrang! Radio’s THE DEAL competition, RITUALS, release their blistering new single ‘Living Blind", out now on Marshall Records. Recorded and The Marshall Studio, the new track sees RITUALS reach new levels of brutality in perfect juxtaposition to their heartfelt, soaring, and melodic atmosphere.

Eamon Ewins (Gallus)

Scottish Alternative Music Awards’ best rock/alternative winners, GALLUS announce their debut album ‘We Don’t Like the People We’ve Become’, set for release 9th June 2023 on Marshall Records. Teeming with nervous energy, its overcaffeinated undertow will drag listeners on a journey of self-loathing, self-medication, and self-love. A joyful downward spiral of manic neuroticism expertly orchestrated by the working-class Scottish indie-punks.

Jacob & Joe Parkinson (Tortured Demon)

Few bands can claim to have played a festival set so hard that the stage broke. Fewer still can claim to have done so when still barely teens. Then again, Manchester-based thrashcore band Tortured Demon is already onto something special. Aged between 17-22, the group have already opened for Evile and Xentrix in 2022, and, at Bloodstock 2021, such as their performance, the Jagermeister Stage fell down around them. Drawing the largest crowd ever seen on that stage, Tortured Demon has since been in...

Alice Guala & Blake Cornwall (Lake Malice)

Urban Gustafsson (Vomitory)

In any serious conversation about death metal, the name Vomitory has to come up. Following their inception in 1989, between 1996 and 2011 they dropped eight of the most blistering albums the genre has spewed up, the quartet parting ways in 2013. However, the band’s retirement turned out to be short-lived, returning to stages in 2019 to celebrate the band's 30th anniversary, and now they drop their first new full-length in twelve years, the monstrous All Heads Are Gonna Roll. Boasting the classic...

Hannah Rose Platt

The brand-new album Deathbed Confessions is out now!

Luke James (Dog Tired)

For more than twenty years Edinburgh’s Dog Tired has been honing its craft, sharpening the cutting edges of its riffs and fine-tuning its engine of destruction. In a perverse rejection of accepted patterns they have only become heavier with every release, their creative fires burning hotter and higher. And all the touring across the UK and Europe, all the festival appearances and four previous albums, have all led to this – to The Red Verse.

Jason Ker & Peter Willmott (Oceanlord)

Behold! Hark! From the dark depths of the southern oceans, Australian doom trio OCEANLORD haveconjured an eldritch monster of an album with their tentacled debut "Kingdom Cold".Frying guitars with an extra helping of thick fuzz and a crusty top deliver a tasty doom sound. Songs thatrange from very slow via slow to mid-tempo with occasional outbursts of energy also stand firmly on therock-solid ground of this classic metal genre. OCEANLORD display traces of the American, British andSwedish school...
