Rock Sound 100% Volume CD: 187

Despite their being a lot of second-stage UK-festival metalcore fodder on this month’s CD, this isn’t too bad. Being As An Ocean, Killer Be Killed, Martyr Defiled, Get Involved!, Frameworks, En Garde, Hey Vanity, Oh Captive and Out For Tomorrow all stand out from the crowd and are all worth your time.

Rock Sound 100% Volume: 173

A good mix of bands this month alongside the usual avalanche of mediocrity and nonsensical shouting. Caravels, Off With Their Heads, Hey Vanity, Let’s Talk Daggers, Thy Art Is Murder and Hold The Fight are all worthy of your attention and I suggest you check them out immediately. THANKS!
