Mixing avant-garde with post-metal, New York-based quartet GUHTS (pronounced 'guts') are cementing themselves as ones to watch with their debut album 'Regeneration'. We caught up with lead vocalist Amber Burns to discuss the band's formation, influences, ambitions and more.

Beartooth’s 2023 album 'The Surface' arrived as a lesson in self-love, somewhat of a complete curveball to the pain, grief and depression that has laced Beartooth’s back-catalogue. But maybe in retrospect, records such as 'Below', 'Disease' and 'Aggressive' were learning curves and now, 'The Surface' is teaching Beartooth how to love themselves and how to be happy in their own skin. We sat down with Beartooth frontman Caleb Shomo at their label home Red Bull Studios, to discuss how the alternative scene could benefit from more self-love songs, finding newfound rushes of euphoria and how fans could relate to a happier version of Beartooth. 

As the year draws to a close we look back on yet another incredible year of music, as members of the Bring The Noise UK team share their favourite releases of 2023. Let us know who made it into your Top 10 lists by tweeting us @BringTheNoiseUK!

Creeper are a band who don’t do anything by halves. They love a dramatic exit, a sabbatical of deathly silence before a glorious musical rebirth in a style unlike anything they have done before. This time around, after frontman William von Ghould’s on-stage decapitation, the band are back with their most flamboyant, ambitious, riff-laden and dark narrative to date, with new album 'Sanguivore' - set in the underworld of vampires Spook and Mercy. The band’s chief axeman Ian Miles sat down with Bring The Noise UK to lift the lid on the new record.

For more than a decade the Finnish metal wrecking crew that is Lost Society have delivered crushing riffs, catchy choruses and symphonic flashes. We managed to catch up with vocalist/guitarist Samy Elbanna ahead of their upcoming headline dates to talk all things touring.

Eddie Sears is a man of many talents. Despite already being busy as a producer and a visual artist, the singer songwriter has penned one of the most exciting albums of 2023 under the moniker of Rocket Pengwin. With his debut locked and loaded for release this month, we jumped at the opportunity to pick his ever-busy brain.

From their humble beginnings on the BBC Music Introducing stage to making their main stage debut at Reading Festival this year, we spoke to hometown boys The Amazons about their recent collab with local football team Reading F.C. and how they mentally prepare for something as daunting as a hometown festival slot.

Starting out as a videographer and photographer, BVDLVD's musical career fell into place five years ago and he's been on the rise ever since. Now signed to Earache Records and with his new album 'ABSENCE' imminent, we caught up with the rising artist to discuss his influences, ambitions and more. 

We sat down with Jeremy Pritchard and Michael Spearman to discuss reissues, new music and looking back on their career.

We sat down with Thom Rylance and Kate Lloyd to discuss making records, breaking records and surprising collaborations.
