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.
On this weeks round-up we have details of new releases from Blink-182, Bad Religion, Angels & Airwaves, Young Statues and more. Whilst the likes of Green Day, Deftones, How To Destroy Angels and Major League are streaming their latest release.
On top of that there’s details of a memorial fund for Suicide Silence’s Mitch Lucker, and the small matter of Dave Grohl rejoining Queens of The Stone Age.
