Already Heard Recommends: May 2018

Already Heard Recommends: October 2017
Last month we relaunched our “Recommends” feature under a new format. The combination of bite-sized interviews and highlighting bloody good new bands has had a positive reaction. So much so, that this month’s edition has 10(!) need-to-know bands for you to discover. From rousing rock ‘n’ roll via Canada to
Already Heard Recommends: September 2017
Back when we launched Already Heard in 2012, we took great pride in endorsing a whole host of up-and-coming bands through our “Recommends” feature. Unfortunately, over time our focus has moved away from the feature, that is until now. Today, we’re relaunching “Recommends” as a monthly breakdown of worthwhile new
Already Heard Recommends: blanket
For some, music is used as a form of escapism. It allows us to get lost in someone else’s work and art. We can become entranced in their ideas and how a band has carefully crafted their music. With blanket, you are guaranteed to do just that. Their debut EP,
Already Heard Recommends: Gender Roles
From Black Peaks all the way up to Architects, Brighton has already produced some of the most exciting bands in the British rock scene today. Adding this already glowing scene are indie rock-ish three-piece Gender Roles. Last week, they release their debut EP ‘Planet X-Ray’, a hazy, crunchy but highly
Already Heard Recommends: My Only
With a debut EP riddled with personal self-doubt and loss, My Only look to lay down a potentially expansive ground work with ‘This Room & You’. The subject of loss is always carried with a heavy weight yet it has a tendency to create something positive. With their debut EP,
Already Heard Recommends: Puppy
In an age where every band is for some reason or another boxed in a genre, London-based trio Puppy are a slice of fresh air. Formed in late 2014 by vocalist/guitarist Jock Norton and drummer Billy Howard, later joined by bassist Will Michael, Puppy has been gathering momentum for the
Already Heard Recommends: Catch Fire
Rising Nottingham Pop Punks Catch Fire Look to Set Ablaze with Debut EP. In an ever over-populated scene, Nottinghamshire’s Catch Fire have all the makings of becoming one of pop punk’s brightest prospects. Like many other bands, its members have gone through the grind of forming bands and then not
Already Heard Recommends: Bellevue Days
If you are a long time reader of Already Heard then you will know our “Recommends” feature hasn’t appeared on this site for a number of months, and you’re probably wondering why. When we gave the site a fresh look back in January, we made a promise that the site
Already Heard Recommends: Simmer
In the music world, a lot of genres go through cycles and revivals. In recent years we’ve seen pop punk and emo come to the forefront of the alternative music scene, and now it seems shoegaze has made its returned. However Cheshire up-and-comers Simmer feel there is no revival and
Already Heard Recommends: Milestones
Back at the start of Janaury we highlighted Manchester newbies Milestones as one of our 50 bands to watch in 2015, even though we didn’t know much about them. However with their debut EP ‘Equal Measures’ set to be released on April 6th we decided to change that. The band
Already Heard Recommends: Six Time Champion
Over the past eighteen months a plethora of UK pop punk bands have come to fruition, showing us Brits are capable of giving those Stateside a run for their money. With the likes of Neck Deep and more recently Roam and As It Is making moves across the Atlantic, there
Already Heard Recommends: Trails
Hailing from Guildford, Trails wear their influences of Reuben and Hundred Reasons on their sleeve and combine it with an angular, harder edge. From the opening moments of ‘Crooked Trees’ the quartet take you on an intriguing journey; from frantic moments such as ‘Forever Black’ and ‘Capgras Delusion’ to the
Already Heard Recommends: Black Foxxes
When South West trio Black Foxxes landed in our inbox, we were very intriguing to hear what they had to offer. Why was that you ask? Well simply because any that band is labelled as being “For Fans Of Manchester Orchestra and Brand New”, we are bound to be interested.
Already Heard Recommends: We Are Carnivores
If you’ve seen the video for their latest single (’T.O.W.I.C.S’), its clear that Nottingham math-rockers We Are Carnivores don’t take themselves too seriously. However their latest EP, ‘Tex-Mexiconomy’ shouldn’t be written off as some kind of comedy release. It proves to be an energetic mix of twisting riffs and catchy
Already Heard Recommends: Lancaster
With a plethora of UK rock bands emerging in recent years, the likes of Young Guns, You Me At Six, Mallory Knox and Deaf Havana have influenced many new bands throughout the UK and Europe. Lancaster are one of those bands. Emerging from Barcelona, Spain, the quintet are set to
Already Heard Recommends: Hello Future
Like a lot of new bands, it takes time to figure out your sound and for Hello Future the scenario was no different. Having formed in 2012 under a different moniker, a slight line-up change and new direction has led to the quartet to have an exciting future. Their debut
Already Heard Recommends: Flights
In this day and age it’s far too easy to pigeonhole bands into a certain genre or “scene” however for Flights that is not the case. Their debut full-length, ‘History Be Kind’ proves to be an expansive collection that varies between angular moments (see ‘The Ghost of Things’), melodic bursts
Already Heard Recommends: Ocasan
For Buckinghamshire pop rock trio Ocasan they decided to take a different route with their latest album. Entitled ‘Elixir’, they decided to release in over a series of three EP’s and they’ve just released the final instalment – ‘Confessions’. Whilst ‘London Town’ and ‘Whitey Two Step’ came off as upbeat
