Don Broco have just unveiled the tracklist for this month’s long-awaited new album, Nightmare Tripping.
And as well as featuring the previously-released title-track, which is a collab with none other than Nickelback, it’s been revealed that Sam Carter also makes an appearance.
The Architects man will pop up six tracks in, on a song entitled True Believers, and it feels very much in keeping with the vibe Broco are going for this time around: as frontman Rob Damiani told us in the band’s recent Kerrang! Cover Story, “This is the first time I’ve really gone for it, screaming on a record. We’ve always done it live, and it’s a bit of a get-out-of-jail-free card there. But in the studio you end up going, ‘I’ve got to find something more complicated or more intriguing or interesting.’ This time I went, ‘Nah. If it’s feeling good and the riffs are demanding some shouting and some screaming, I want to deliver that.
“It can be hard with heavy music to stand out from the crowd, because the nature of heavy-as-fuck riffs means you can only get so heavy before you start losing the character from them,” he continued. “But there’s inventive ways of doing it, which is what we’re looking for.
“I think it’s a really exciting time for metal at the moment, because bands are doing that and carving out their own paths. Bands are almost rediscovering what it is to be a new wave of heavy band, challenging people with that. We’re excited by that, but we’re also excited about dialling in what makes us Don Broco.”

Having played the main stage at last year’s Slam Dunk Festival, Hot Mulligan return to the UK for a short run of shows in support of their latest album The Sound A Body Makes When It’s Still.
Opening tonight at Leeds University’s Refectory are local lads Beauty School, who landed the slot thanks to lead vocalist Joe Cabrera playing World of Warcraft with Hot Mulligan’s Nathan Sanville. As the opening riffs of Day Of Iva kick in, the packed crowd begins to move and the night gets underway in perfect fashion. Pacing the stage confidently, Cabrera knows exactly how to work the room while the rest of the band drive the energy behind him.
Being from Leeds, the band take a moment to chat with the crowd, sharing stories about watching bands on the very stage they’re now standing on and thanking fans for turning up early. When the punchy intro to Okinawa begins, the room is bouncing, with tight guitar work locking in perfectly with the driving drums. By the time they leave the stage, they’ve made a strong impression, instantly landing themselves on my must-see list for this year’s Slam Dunk Festival.
Brighton math-rock outfit Delta Sleep are next, bringing a very different atmosphere to the evening. Bathed in blue and purple lighting, their melodies and unusual timing shift the crowd into a more laid-back groove. The pulsing intro to Slow Burn sparks a few nodding heads before its complex verses unfold.
Midway through the set things move more towards the indie side of the band’s catalogue with Lake Sprinkle Sprinkle, with guitarist Glen Hodgson leading the charge. Delta Sleep deliver a technically impressive performance, while also bringing a different musical flavour to the evening’s line-up.
Formed in Michigan just over a decade ago, Midwest emo favourites Hot Mulligan have steadily risen through the ranks, and tonight shows exactly why. Opening with new album track Moving To Bed Bug Island, the band begin with its softer, almost folk-like tones before shifting into their more familiar sound with And A Big Load. In fact, the first stretch of the set leans heavily on material from the new record, with Sanville even joking with fans about skipping the album’s interludes.
With his long hair draped over his face, Sanville leads the stage while delivering the distinctive vocals that define the band’s sound. However, he’s quick to share the spotlight, stepping aside at times to give guitarist Ryan Malicsi space to shine. With their blend of punchy riffs and endlessly catchy choruses, it’s no surprise that the crowd frequently drowns out the band as they sing along to their favourite tracks.
Despite a slightly delayed start due to venue issues earlier in the evening, Hot Mulligan still manage to squeeze in a full set, even treating the Leeds crowd to the live debut of recently released track I Don’t Think It’s The Right Time For Emojis. Packed tightly into the venue, fans still find space to open up a few mosh pits as the show reaches its closing moments.
Returning for a two-song encore, which Sanville jokingly describes as a “very sing-along encore”, the band brings the night to a fitting close with BCKYRD and *Equip Sunglasses*.
Tonight proves that Hot Mulligan are becoming one of the most exciting names on the pop-punk and emo circuit. With performances like this, it’s easy to see why they continue climbing festival line-ups year after year.

In a Blues Rock Review exclusive premiere, listen to “Look Out Below,” the latest single from Boston-based roots rock band Reckoners.
Built around a funk-fueled groove and the band’s signature blend of soul, blues, and rock, “Look Out Below” showcases Reckoners’ knack for combining tight musicianship with a gritty, barroom-ready energy. The track features tasty guitar riffs locked in with a hard-driving rhythm section, with additional support from Nigel Hall of Lettuce and Lamar Williams Jr. The single was mixed and produced alongside Alan Evans of Soulive.
“Look Out Below” is the fourth single from Reckoners’ upcoming sophomore album, Where The Hell Am I?, which arrives May 15 via Gitcha Records. The album marks the band’s debut release with the label and continues to build on the momentum they’ve generated across the New England music scene.
Guitarist Johnny Trama shared some insight into the inspiration behind the song.
“’Look Out Below’ is a lineup of the unusual suspects that might frequent the barrooms that we call second homes. We changed the names to protect the not-so-innocent.”
Reckoners is fronted by singer and guitarist Tim Gearan and features guitarist and bandleader Johnny Trama (Bettye LaVette, The Silks, Dub Apocalypse), drummer Tom Arey (Peter Wolf, The J. Geils Band, G. Love, Vapors of Morphine), bassist Marc Hickox (Bettye LaVette, Charlie Musselwhite), and keyboardist Darby Wolf (Bettye LaVette, Rubblebucket). Together they channel the grit and groove of classic soul and rock into a sound that feels both timeless and personal.
