    Song Review: Turn Two "Nice Thing"

    Pop-punk quartet Turn Two released their single "Nice Thing" in April of 2026. The Jersey Shore band mixes inspiration from early pop-punk like Fall Out Boy and Jimmy Eat World, and a rock edge from the likes of Coheed and Cambria.

    "Nice Thing" starts with upbeat guitar strumming as punk singing is introduced as screams, emphasizing individual words to keep things interesting. The full band kicks in as a classic pop-punk sound is instantly recognizable with scream-singing, slamming drum beats, and dramatic, bright guitar rhythms, building a catchy, rock sound.

    Turn Two does an excellent job of bringing the nostalgic days of pop-punk back to life while keeping a modern touch that keeps it exciting and new. At just under 3 minutes, "Nice Thing" keeps it short and sweet, with a bridge that creates a massive soundscape as distant choir vocals, energetic guitars, and vocal harmonies create an anthemic sound. The song bursts into a final chorus before suddenly fading out.

    Overall, Turn Two showcases a polished pop-punk sound that harnesses the energy of acts like Fallout Boy and Blink-182 into a modern sound with excellent production. You can stream "Nice Thing" available on all platforms now.

  • Ty Segall Announces New Album Chrome & New EP Love Fuzzz: Hear “Black Paint”

    Human rock ‘n’ roll factory Ty Segall rarely goes for a long time without announcing a new record, so perhaps you won’t be shocked to learn that he’ll release a new album and a new EP later this summer. But that’s obviously good news. This guy is great at what he does, and he can keep flooding the zone as long as he wants. Last year, Segall released the solo LP Possession. Since then, he’s helped out on records from people like Upchuck and White Fence. Now, he’s got his band back together, and they’re about to hit you with some riffs.

    Crown Magnetar Announce Co-Headlining North American Tour with To the Grave

    Colorado deathcore heavyweights Crown Magnetar have announced a massive co-headlining North American tour with Australia’s To the Grave, bringing one of the most punishing lineups of the year under the banner The Sawed Off Suffering Tour .
    The run will feature direct support from Face Yourself, with rotating appearances from I Declare War, Ameonna (ex-Chelsea Grin), Tracheotomy, Backbiter, and Squelching on select dates. Tickets go on sale Friday at 10AM local time. Get tickets here: https://bnds.us/lv9ika
    The tour arrives in support of Crown Magnetar’s recent singles “Impaled Genesis” and “Desecrate Infinite,” which also mark the debut recordings featuring new guitarist Rob Maramonte (formerly of The Zenith Passage and Fallujah). With new material already circulating and momentum building, fans are already speculating that a full-length announcement may not be far behind.
    Vocalist Dan Tucker comments:


    “We’re beyond excited to announce ‘The Sawed Off Suffering Tour’ alongside our friends in To The Grave. This package represents some of the most punishing bands in heavy music, and we wanted to build something that delivers pure intensity from start to finish. With Face Yourself joining us as direct support and a rotating lineup featuring Backbiter, Tracheotomy, Squelching, I Declare War, and Ameonna, every night is going to be an absolute assault. If you’re looking for a tour built around relentless brutality, and the heaviest bands in the scene, ‘The Sawed Off Suffering Tour’ is exactly that.”


    The routing spans the United States and Canada from mid-September through mid-October, hitting major markets including Chicago, Toronto, New York, Los Angeles, Seattle, and Denver. Each night will feature different support combinations, ensuring no two shows feel the same.

    Beyond the North American run, Crown Magnetar will head straight into Europe to join tech-death titans Archspire as direct support on the European Vacation Tour , alongside The Zenith Passage and Analepsy. The move underscores just how fast the band’s profile continues to rise on both sides of the Atlantic.
    The European trek kicks off October 23 in Köln, Germany, and runs through November 21 in Helsinki, Finland, hitting major cities across the UK and Europe including London, Paris, Berlin, Madrid, Milan, Copenhagen, and more.
    With back-to-back touring cycles, a stacked lineup, and new material already in circulation, Crown Magnetar are clearly entering a new era of momentum. And if The Sawed Off Suffering Tour name is any indication, they’re not planning on slowing down anytime soon.

  • Song Review: Frozen Factory “Call Off The Firing Squad”

    Song Review: Frozen Factory "Call Off The Firing Squad"

    Originally forming in Helsinki, Finland in 2018, metal act Frozen Factory has just released their latest single "Call Off The Firing Squad".

    The track begins with atmospheric clean guitar that builds a prog-esque sound as groovy drums and gentle singing create a soft and melodic sound. The song slowly builds into electric guitar leads and more energetic vocals in its chorus, taking on a soft rock vibe, while distant heavy metal guitar leads can be heard. After the second chorus, soaring vocals and hard-hitting guitar create a deeply catchy but dynamic sound, and the song fades into a bridge as piano and distant screams and gunfire can be heard, building a dramatic but ambient soundscape. Singing slowly builds in energy as theatrical guitar chugs soon launch back into the track's final chorus.

    With "Call Off The Firing Squad" Frozen Factory showcases a really unique sound that blends classic metal guitar, the dynamics of soft rock, progressive metal's atmospheric sounds, and even some classical piano elements. Overall, I think this is a catchy song that stands out with a sound that balances a gentle sound while still showing some alternative music edge.

    You can stream "Call Off The Firing Squad" on all platforms now.

  • Bloodstock Adds Twelve More Bands for 2026

    Bloodstock Adds Twelve More Bands for 2026

    With just eight weeks to go til you can finally scream, “BLOODSTOCK we’re home!” there’s an ever constant stream of news to share.

    Have you been following the first batch of the METAL 2 THE MASSES finals? Cue much excitement and a drum roll please, for the first group of winners landing slots on the Stowford Press New Blood Stage can now be revealed!

    On Friday, bear witness to East Anglian aggressors REGICIDE, offering a blend of thrash/groove metal with hardcore elements, Belfast death/thrash champions MICROTONAL, modern melo-death crew ATARKA who won the Birmingham round, and explosive hardcore five-piece BAILED OUT from Leeds.

    Saturday welcomes Sheffield metalcore victors DESCENDANCY and cathartic Northants noiseniks DEAD BAIT.

    Sunday adds diverse Scottish top dogs CHEKHOV’S GUN (whose striking sound is matched by a visceral live show, fronted by a flamboyant Lithuanian ballroom dancer!), Manchester’s prog metal quintet TECHNOLOGIST, doom-inspired SUNK who came first for the South Coast region, collaborative Cyprus conquerors JOAKEM, and formidable death metal unifiers KA’APER, comprised of both Russian and Ukrainian musicians.

    BLOODSTOCKers, unfortunately we also have to share that OF MICE & MEN have cancelled performing, sending this note: “Due to circumstances beyond our control we sadly won’t be able to make it out to Europe this summer as planned. Thanks to all the fans, festivals & promoters we were looking forward to playing for.”  BLOODSTOCK wishes the band well.

    While we know that is disappointing news, BLOODSTOCK has lined up excellent death metal squad SANGUISUGABOGG to step into their shoes. The band declare, “Hey mate! Seems like your favorite death dealing degenerates just hocked up their hairball of a logo all over your Bloodstock flyer! We can’t wait to be in England to melt faces and rock out at Bloodstock, so pack up your broomsticks and your toast and beans and let’s party together – we couldn’t be anymore psyched!” You can catch them as direct support to LEPROUS on Saturday on the Sophie Lancaster stage. Rumours you can win a prize for correctly spelling their name in a BLOODSTOCK Spelling Bee are unfounded.
