Post-hardcore/metal quintet Schemata Theory are back with their brand new album 'Unity In Time', due for release later this week. The band made their return in late 2021 with their powerful single 'Voices', a standout track on the record for guitarist Mario Scinto. We caught up to find out more about the song's themes, the writing process and stories from behind the scenes. 

Alternative rock quartet Led By Lanterns want to make a difference - and not just with their music. While the band's striking debut album 'Paralysis' explores mental health and its many forms, Led By Lanterns also launched The Lanterns Alliance, a safe space for their fans to share experiences and bond over their music. We caught up with vocalist Shaun Hill to find out more about The Alliance, the band's formation, influences, ambitions and more. 

2022 may be quick with throwing a curveball, but The Blinders have been even quicker. With a brand new line-up and stunning sound, 'Electric Kool-Aid (Part 1)' was released in January of this year and it is phenomenal. The five-track EP marks the start of something new and it's left fans hungry for more. However, with so much change comes even more questions like 'What's next?' or "What is Electric Kool-Aid?' Here at Bring The Noise UK, we've got the answers. We sat with vocalist, Thomas Haywood, and bassist, Charlie McGough, to catch up and see what's on the cards for 2022.

Venom Prison are back with their pummelling new album 'Erebos', released earlier this month via Century Media Records. The band had been teasing the record since November, giving us a first glimpse with the aggressive, catchy 'Judges Of The Underworld'. We caught up with guitarist Ash Gray to find out more, including the writing process, themes, accompanying music video and stories from behind the scenes. 

They say that first impressions count and Beauty School made a great one on us. The band, who are inspired by the likes of Fireworks and American Football, released their debut single 'Take It Slow' at the end of 2021 via Slam Dunk Records. The anthemic, emotive track was written during lockdown and is an open, honest exploration into mental health. We caught up with Dan from the band to find out more about the song's writing process and theme, the accompanying music video and more. 

Formed through mutual friends after attending an Enter Shikari show, rising noise-pop duo Superlove were inspired to create a sound that combined the best elements of pop and heavy music. We caught up with bassist/vocalist Jacob Rice following the release of their recent single 'Maybe I Could Tell You', to discuss the band's influences, ambitions, future plans and more. 

Rising metalcore outfit Pridelands have put their heart and soul into their debut album 'Light Bends'. Taking over production and engineering duties when COVID lockdowns struck, there was no stopping the Australian quintet, who released the captivating record via SharpTone Records earlier this month. We caught up with vocalist Joshua Cory following the album release, to discuss the band's formation, influences, ambitions and more.

We caught up with the band following the release to discuss their formation, ambitions, influences and more.  

Hot on the heels of their debut album 'Between Me and The Machine', melodic hardcore/post-hardcore trio Resolve are a force to be reckoned with as they release their most honest and beautiful material to date.
