Following on from their huge performance at Slam Dunk Midlands we talked to Eddy Brewerton and Glenn Harvey of Moose Blood. With 2016 shaping out to be their biggest year to date we couldn’t wait to find out what second album Blush is set to bring and to hear what other plans they have up their sleeves.

Boston Manor are rapidly becoming one of the most exciting bands in the British pop-punk scene. Ahead of their set at Slam Dunk Midlands we sat down with vocalist Henry Cox and guitarist Mike Cunniff to find out just how this experience is for them.

Ahead of their main stage slot at Slam Dunk Midlands we sat down with Mayday Parade vocalist Derek Sanders and guitarist Brooks Betts for a chat about all things music. With their fifth studio album Black Lines released in 2015 - and also signifying their tenth year within the band - there was plenty to talk about!

It's Sunday in the press room at Drownload and the rain is starting again. Luckily we caught up with the Billy Talent boys - lead guitarist Ian D'Sa and bassist Jonathan Gallant - which perked us right up!

After a three-year hiatus and a seven year gap between albums, The Fall of Troy have returned with their new album, OK, released for free - and independently - on the band's website. We spoke to lead vocalist and guitarist Thomas Erak and drummer Andrew Forsman about the release of OK and the events surrounding its recording.

It’s not been a bad year so far for ZOAX. They released their debut, self-titled album, toured with Funeral For A Friend and already have two festival performances under their belts. With Download Festival imminent, we caught up with the quintet to talk Kendrick Lamar, budget videos and wrestling (and a quick game of Would You Rather? - of course).

Sure, the weather may not look entirely in our favour this weekend but we can pray for a miracle - either way it's going to be a bucketload of fun as Download Festival makes its return. With so many incredible acts set to grace four stages in the grounds of Donington, here are our top picks for the weekend. We'll see you in the pit!

There’s no denying that every letlive. fan on the planet was itching for the band to make their glorious return earlier this year, so when the time finally arrived we were, quite frankly, overjoyed. Having recently made their mark on intimate UK venues and with their brand new album imminent, we caught up with frontman Jason Butler to find out exactly what’s been going on since 2013's The Blackest Beautiful.

We caught up with Real Friends in the calm before the storm ahead of their Slam Dunk Festival appearance and European tour. With their recently released album 'The Home Inside My Head' paired with a launch gig at the Hippodrome, we talked midnight walks, shitting in your pants and what to expect from their new material…

Camden Rocks is a great festival for showcasing smaller, up and coming bands, so we thought we’d give you a heads up on the ones you’d be foolish to miss. Some of these acts are already starting to break into the big time, so catch them at the intimate venues before it’s too late!
