We're well into the heart of festival season now, which naturally means plenty of opportunities for exciting new bands to step up and pull focus at a seemingly endless sea of fields around Europe, the UK and beyond. That in mind, as we do each month we've scouted low and high to find the most exciting bands around now that you need to know.
This month we have the brutal hardcore of Jesus Piece, Dutch deathcore with sci-fi leanings from Distant, the oppressive drone metal of Fvnerals and the band that have been inciting Disney sing-alongs en masse at festivals: Punk Rock Factory. What's more, we've added all of these bands to our sprawling playlist of the hottest bands of 2023 for your listening pleasure. So sit back with a cold one and get stuck in to these brilliant up and coming bands.
