Even though we love our Stateside friends, our main goal here at Already Heard to showcase and highlight the best in established and emerging UK bands.
As a result of this, each week we bring you a concise round-up of news from America.
Nevertheless we will continue to work with bands from overseas in a variety of other ways; reviews, interviews, live photos, acoustic sessions, features and more.
Even though our American fans have been celebrating Thanksgiving this week, there is still plenty of news; Blink-182 have launched their new EP, Transit, The Story So Far and This Is Hell are working on new releases for 2013, and there are new music videos from Coheed and Cambria, and Avenged Sevenfold.
