Low Teens is a tough listen, but it is also a record that sees Every Time I Die flourish both musically and lyrically. Whilst the band have a strong catalog of releases, Jordan Buckley, Andy Williams, Stephen Micciche, Daniel Davison and Keith Buckley may have put together their most complete record to date.

Since the release of their second album The Dream Is Over, PUP has been busy travelling all over the world bringing thousands of people their heavy-yet-melodic punk rock. With their friends Solids and Shit Present in tow, this intimate set at Kingston's legendary The Fighting Cocks has all the makings of a memorable night.

The Fall of Troy triumphantly return to Glasgow for the first time since reuniting (although they played Edinburgh last year), armed with a new album's worth of material. Playing at the Cathouse, they are supported by melodic hardcore outfit Terrible Love, and emo group Tiny Moving Parts.

Following on from their 2013 release Where The World Begins, alt-rock outfit EMP!RE have returned with new EP Our Simple Truths. Coming in at just 18 minutes in length it leaves us anticipating an all killer, no filler release. Spoiler: there are crashing choruses, rumbling drums and hooked filled guitars by the bucketload.

The Lounge Kittens are back with their debut album Sequins & C-Bombs; with a successful festival run and an EP behind them, have the Southampton trio done enough to entice new listeners? We give it an emphatic yes!

It’s certainly impressive that some of alternative music’s finest pioneers are on their seventh album. Unfortunately, 2016 is full of some tough competition and Tidal Wave is easily ignorable for some newer names; if you’re already a fan, you’re not going to find a new favourite TBS song here.

It's only been seven years since Young Guns released their debut EP, Mirrors, and yet it feels as though the band have been around an awful lot longer. Having released three albums since, Young Guns might just be at their best with their latest full-length 'Echoes'.

An Endless Sporadic are an instrumental prog rock group who achieved modest success in 2008 with the release of their Ameliorate EP, with tracks Impulse and Anything being featured in various Guitar Hero games. This release, Magic Machine, is something of a surprise, as it comes seven years after the band fading into obscurity following the release of their self-titled debut full-length in 2009.

Following the critically acclaimed debut album Memoirs of A Murderer, Flint based metal mammoths KING 810 return with their sophomore album La Petite Mort Or A Conversation With God. Will their return live up to the hype which surrounded them on their debut?

It seems like a lifetime since we were graced with an A Day To Remember record, thankfully the band announced their comeback earlier this year by dropping single Paranoia and announcing their sixth studio album Bad Vibrations. Here's what we thought...
