This Week's Essential Tracks!
BRING ME THE HORIZON, THE SADNESS WILL NEVER END
Big, riffy, and featuring guest vocals from Architects man Sam Carter, this cut from last year’s Suicide Season album sees BMTH in full, metallic flight. Jolly good show, gents.

ATREYU, STORM TO PASS
The California crew return with a darker slant on this big tune. Proof that there’s more to them than muscles and sunshine. Bones and moonlight, perhaps?

ALEXISONFIRE, BORN AND RAISED
Ever seen Chinese dragons dancing to post hardcore? If you watch the video for Alexisonfire’s stonking new single you will. Lovely stuff.

GOD FORBID, STOCKHOLM SYNDROME
That’s super heavy metal mob God Forbid covering Muse. How does it sound? Absolutely bloody marvellous, of course.

LOSTPROPHETS, AC RICOCHET
As revealed in K!, the making of the new Lostprophets record wasn’t easy (or cheap!). But, as shown on this superb rocker, the results speak very loudly for themselves.

Having written enough classics of his own, Rivers Cuomo doesn’t need to cover anyone else’s. But here, he and Weezer give a superb version of this Clash number. Naturally, it’s great.

RANCID, UP TO NO GOOD
Rancid are the sort of band you can imagine being constantly up to no good. Fortunately, the punk ruffians’ music is always good as gold. Ragged, sloppy and indelicate, but good as gold all the same.

CANTERBURY, ELEVEN, TWELVE
These young Brit pups – not from Canterbury, incidentally – know their way around a tune, like this off-beat toe-tapper. Catch them on tour with Billy Talent.

FALL OUT BOY, ALPHA DOG
A new track from their forthcoming Believers Never Die Best Of collection, this is all the bounce and fun you love about Fall Out Boy. Wahey!

THE BLACKOUT, THIS IS WHY WE CAN’T HAVE NICE THINGS
Like a perpetual stream of ace tunes, the new single from The Blackout is another brilliant bouncer from the Welsh wonders. It’s got Josh from You Me At Six on it, too.
