Crown Lands - Spit It Out

On their new single, this hotly tipped Canadian duo sound like Wolfmother getting freaky with Jack White – noisy, woozy blues rock with guitars that slash like sabres, topped with vocal shrieks straight from the trippiest corner of hell. It’s how you imagine the old blues masters would’ve wanted their legacy to live on.

Nightwish - Noise

The Finnish symphonic overlords are back with the first taste of their new album, and they’re taking aim at 21st century culture – selfies, scrolling, screen-staring, mobile phones, basically, plus pills and a whole load of other modern age trappings, all of which are garishly, ghoulishly acted out in a lavish, theatrical video. As the saying goes, if a thing's worth doing, it's worth doing with fabulous costumes and Tuomas Holopainen (wearing only a gas mask) in a bath covered in black oil.

Wishbone Ash - Back In The Day

Driving track from WA’s first new album in six years, Coat Of Arms (out this month), described by Andy Powell as a song about “living the life - the rock life, featuring guitars aplenty!” Such a description arguably makes it sound a little more ‘basic’ than it actually is, though the ‘guitars aplenty’ bit is spot on; there are a lot of guitars here, in lush, pensive layers (electric, acoustic, rhythm-building, soloing, softer, rockier...).

Novatines - The Fear

Moody new one from the young, Bath-based alt rockers – part British classic rock, several parts gnarly 90s grunge (there’s a tasty flash of Just by Radiohead in the guitars), it escalates in anger and intensity before dropping and leaving with a final, emphatic chop.

Sturgill Simpson - A Good Look

Anyone familiar with Sturgill from his beautifully cerebral country records might be surprised to see him soundtracking an edgy Anime series. But he’s done it rather brilliantly, marrying his rootsy, soul-burrowing voice with a bouncy tempo, hooky guitars, blazing synths and dancey beats. The good kind of surprise.

Gilby Clarke - Rock’n’Roll Is Getting Louder

Dirty, unrefined and unsophisticated in all the right ways, this new one from the one-time Guns N’ Roses guitarist kicks off with raw, rumbling bass and the kind of guitars the Stones might have played if they’d grown up on 80s metal instead of the blues. Music with which to put away a bottle of whiskey, then go out and break laws and speed limits. Yeah.

Joe Satriani - Nineteen Eighty

Few guitarists commit as wholeheartedly to two extremes as Joe Satriani. On the one end, on Satch’s new single here, you’ve got brain-spinning levels of six-string dexterity, seemingly from a galaxy far, far away. On the other end, however, you’ve got a deliciously head-bobbing, basic-as-all-hell blues hook. Somehow the two become friends. Find more outer-space boogies like this on his next album, Shapeshifting.

Skunk Anansie - This Means War

Start a riot, a revolution, or just get any festering rage out in the open with Skin and co’s thumping, no-bullshit new single. ‘This means war, fuckers!’ the singer cries in the chorus, in a ferocious manner that's literally impossible to question.

Just because I hadn't heard this in ages and a friend shared it with Me at 7am this morning...

The Blinders - Circle Song

We loved this Manchester trio’s 2018 debut Columbia, so it was with high hopes that we plugged into their new single. Where the former was dominated by raw fury and politically attuned fire, this is a Lennon-esque ode to life’s more troubling crossroads, set to a melancholy waltz that feels by turns dark and sweet. Like what you hear? Their new album Fantasies Of A Stay At Home Psychopath is coming on 8th May.

Vodun - Rituals

Now with a new drummer in tow, London’s witchdoctors of hard-grooving psychedelia are back with this balls-out rock cut from latest album Ascend, ahead of UK tour dates this month and next. The sort of vibrant, heavy explosion of beef and bodypaint that makes rock’n’roll a sexier, more exciting place.

Biff Byford - Me And You

The Saxon mainman swaps the balls-out crunch n’ bash of NWOBHM for pretty acoustic strumming (fuck, even saxophone) on this ballad from his first solo album, School Of Hard Knocks, which is out this Friday. The years have given Biff plenty to reflect on, and so he does here in a way that feels natural and thoughtful, not self-indulgent. The old smoothie.

Stereo Pharoah - Tinnitus

Sometimes there’s no substitute for going back to the basics. Within the first couple of seconds of Tinnitus it’s clear that these Pennsylvania rockers understand that. A short, strutting, slightly stoned fix of groovy dirtbag rock’n’roll, it’ll make your ears ring, sing and skip with the kind of no-frills pleasure that’s dead easy to swallow. Like chocolate for the soul, with a salty kick.

Little Triggers - (Bang) Bang Out Go The Lights

We saw these guys live last week and this was one of the highlights, so we’re happy to share it with you now. It’s a fast n’ furious fireball of barely contained energy that makes them sound like Rival Sons’ naughty kid brothers – the excitable but prodigious ones, jacked up on Haribo and addicted to QOTSA, Wolfmother and Steve Marriot records.

Datura4 - You're The Only One

If you need to just check the hell out of whatever’s going on around you (for just shy of four minutes, anyway), this soft, suspenseful fusion of haunting blues, slide and wild west flavours is your guy. You’ll find more spacey goings-on on the Australians’ fourth album, West Coast Highway Cosmic – informed by “long, sometimes lonely” drives between recording studios along the southwest coast of Oz.

Tiffany Twisted - Sold My Soul

Known to her mates as Hetti Harper, Tiffany’s stage name was inspired by a lyric in the Eagles’ Hotel California. But if you were expecting 70s West Coast throwback activity you’re in for a surprise; Sold My Soul is moody, melodic alt-rock that takes in heartland, pop and a hint of contemporary Nashville, before moving into the kind of chorus that would sit comfortably at Glastonbury and at an indie-rock night.

Ryders Creed - Lost Soul

We’re finishing with this brooding, soul-searching slice from Midlands rockers Ryders Creed. The chorus is their winning ticket here; anthemic, rousing… like the Foo Fighters going for beers and man-hugs with Roadrunner-era Black Stone Cherry, after a particularly devastating break-up. "This song is about the hole that we can all find ourselves in when we start lying and end up not being able to stop,” the band explain. “It's about solitude and pushing all those we love away from us without even realising that it's happening."

Ozzy Osbourne - Scary Little Green Men

Following a global album launch and tattoo extravaganza, The Prince Of Darkness proves that the actual music on (upcoming solo record) Ordinary Man comfortably holds its own. Scary Little Green Men starts with steely, blissed-out rings of atmosphere before beefing up into a head-nodding earworm of a chorus. Introspective oddball values, tailored for the big time.

Naked Six - Lost Art Of Conversation

Raging, contorting and punching out riffs like Nirvana moshing with The Vines, the Manchester-based trio (fronted by Seb ‘son of Biff’ Byford) lay down just over two minutes of thick, seething guitars and roared guttersnipe meditations on the smartphone age. And then, just like that, they’re gone again, leaving dust and ringing ears in their wake.

Dinosaur Pile Up - Round The Bend

Bouncy alt rock with woozy distortion and a somber thematic core now, from Dinosaur Pile-Up’s latest album Celebrity Mansions. “Round The Bend is about being at the very edge of your emotional strength,” says frontman Matt Bigland. “I wrote it when I was at a breaking point of sorts, where I felt like what I'd been trying to make happen with the band for 12 years wasn't in fact going to happen.”

Mark Lanegan - Skeleton Key

Bleakly beautiful poetry, thoughtfully framed in ambient, soaring rock from the Screaming Trees man. Part heady trip, several parts intimate, mortality-contemplating storytelling. More to come in May with his new album, Straight Songs Of Sorrow.

Jack J Hutchinson - I Will Follow You

Accompanied by a video shot at the (perhaps aptly named) Sad Hill Cemetery in Spain, this is one of the softest moments on Jack’s album Who Feeds The Wolf?, but that doesn’t mean it’s not one of the best. Written about his father’s alzheimer's diagnosis, it’s a tender, acoustically rooted moment from a guy perhaps better known for shitkicking Crowes-meets-Wylde oomph.

Lucifer - Midnight Phantom

Like your rock’n’roll to sound like it’s been pulled from a graveyard? Sometime in the late 60s? Preferably dressed up in skull rings, crosses and black flares? These guys are totally your bag, mixing Black Sabbath and Blue Oyster Cult tendencies in a manner of which... well, Lucifer would be proud. Check out more on Lucifer III, on sale March 20.

Eden James - Black Book

Sunkissed, upbeat soul-searching tuneage now, peppered with a few Iggy-esque vocal lilts and dashes of warm soul – lyrically “centred around being on the wrong side of the law and the song reflects on the irony of consequences catching up at the most inopportune moment.”

Dramalove - Written In The Stars

This ambitious Brighton-based trio look like something out of a Tim Burton-come-My Chemical Romance cheese dream, but here sound more like Muse with touches of Royal Blood and an extra boxful of synths. The chorus is the size of a bus; the sound of a band dreaming big. Watch this space.
