The Dirty Nil play rock and roll. Loud, distorted, and out of control, they play like it's a fever they're trying to sweat out. Reveling in the din of distorted guitars, pounding drums, and desperately howled vocals, the Hamilton Ontario three-piece makes music for turntables and hi-fi's - music for dive bars and house parties - for beer drinking and joint smoking - for road trips and barbecues - for fighting and yelling and shouting and singing and screaming and howling - for sweating and bleeding - trying and failing and trying again anyways. Gravel-in-your guts, spit-in-your-eye, staggering, bloodthirsty rock and roll. They have two 7"s available that capture the snarl and destructive noise they create. The Dirty Nil play rock and roll - cause they couldn't do a damn thing else if they tried.

Following years of touring and amid plenty of work and development for their own compositions, Cancer Bats explored a collective love of metal gods Black Sabbath with the low-key inception of Bat Sabbath, an alter ego band whose sole purpose was to dutifully cover Sabbath songs.

Voivod Very few bands survive for four decades. Even fewer are those that continue to reach new creative heights, long after legendary status has been achieved. Voïvod were never like other bands: even as the thrash metal scene exploded in the early ‘80s, the Jonquière, Québec crew stood apart, both as unique visionaries and as proud subverters of the metallic norm. From early prog-thrash classics like Killing Technology and Dimension Hatröss through to the psychedelic explorations of The Outer Limits, Voïvod have been standard bearers for individuality and creative freedom for nearly 40 years. Midnight Midnight is a band fronted by one Athenar, aka Jamie Walters, a guy who has had his hand in practically anything metal coming out of Cleveland over the years. Originally just a for-fun side project, Midnight has developed into a full-fledged band, and the formula is simple -- raw, NWOBHM-inspired fare, with heavy influences from bands like Tank, Motorhead, and a bit of early Venom as well. It's certainly not complex, and there's really not a lot of variation from song to song or album to album, yet there aren't a lot of bands playing this style these days and Midnight is surprisingly effective and entertaining.

Gotobeat is excited to team up with GORILLA to present 1000Mods live. 1000Mods - It’s no wonder why 1000mods are considered one of Europe’s most iconic heavy rock bands worldwide. Since their genesis two decades ago, the Greek powerhouse has become a true staple of the international rock scene out thanks to their anthemic songcraft and hundreds of fire-driven live performances across the globe. From the early-day breakthrough of stoner rock milestones “Super Van Vacation” (2011) and “Vultures” (2014) to the overdriven rock’n’roll charge of “Repeated Exposure to...” (2016) and the ambitious alt-rock shift of “Youth of Dissent” (2020), 1000mods let the power of music speak for itself with their no-frills attitude and strong DIY ethics. Transcending genre boundaries and bringing together generations of faithful fans, 1000mods stands as a unique voice of hope and empowerment for those who are lucky to cross their path. Slated for a November 2024 release on Ouga Booga and the Mighty Oug Recordings (world) and Ripple Music (US), their highly anticipated fifth album “Cheat Death” is set to be their heaviest record to date, delivering ten powerful sonic statements packed with metal and punk influences while still delivering a few shiver-inducing gems along the way. 1000mods are ready to trample upon the heavy rock world and take no prisoner, and you’d better be ready for it!

Other than a few surprise appearances, this will be the first time Keenan has toured with the band since 2006. This will also be the first time the "Deliverance" lineup of the group has played together since 2001. COC recently emerged from hibernation as a trio and released 2012's eponymous album and 2014's "IX" to wide acclaim, but many have been eagerly awaiting the return of Pepper Keenan. The band were originally an influential hardcore punk/heavy metal crossover act before reaching critical success with a new lineup on 1991's "Blind" album. That trajectory continued with wider appeal as Keenan took over as primary vocalist on "Deliverance" (1994) and "Wiseblood" (1996). These two recordings in particular fused the raw energy of the previous albums with some great strides forward in classic rock inspired songwriting and more spacious production and execution, which were often copied but rarely equalled. This juggernaut gained mass and momentum with relentless touring alongside Metallica, Megadeth, Clutch, Eyehategod and many more. Eventually, following "In the Arms of God", 2005, Keenan focused all energy on his hometown band Down. Until now, that is. Recent internet chatter on the subject of a reunion turns out be true. Asked about future plans, bassist Mike Dean said, "This is all about going out and celebrating some of the classic material, and at the same time it's about tuning up the chemistry and the energy to possibly create a new album or two with this lineup."

Dead Pony are an electrifying rock band from Glasgow, Scotland, known for their high-energy sound and genre-blending style. Fronted by the powerhouse vocals of Anna Shields, alongside Blair Crichton (guitar), Liam Adams (bass), and Euan Lyons (drums), they fuse elements of alt-rock, punk, and nu-metal into a sound that is both raw and infectious. Bursting onto the scene in 2020, Dead Pony quickly gained attention for their ferocious riffs, punchy rhythms, and anthemic choruses. Singles like "Sharp Tongues" and "23, Never Me" cemented their place as one of the most exciting new bands in UK rock. Their debut EP, War Boys (2022), showcased their ability to blend driving guitar hooks with gritty, attitude-packed vocals, drawing comparisons to Paramore, The Prodigy, and N.E.R.D. In 2024, Dead Pony took things to the next level with the release of their debut album Ignore This, a hard-hitting collection of tracks packed with energy, attitude, and undeniable hooks. The album’s success fueled their 'Ignore This' headline tour, which saw several dates sell out. Renowned for their explosive live performances, Dead Pony have played Reading and Leeds, Glastonbury, TRNSMT and are set to make their Download Festival debut in 2025. They have shared stages with Black Honey, Against the Current, The Mysterines, Kid Kapichi, The Warning, Mother Mother, The Blackout, and are currently joining You Me At Six on select dates of their final UK tour. With relentless energy both on stage and in the studio, Dead Pony are proving to be one of the UK’s most thrilling rising rock bands.

For something to be “ecstatic,” the feelings and emotions it evokes must transcend what we tend to experience most regularly in our lives. Ecstatic joy isn’t just happiness; it’s a feeling of jubilation which impacts us emotionally and in a metaphysical, arguably spiritual sense too. Although it has long been associated with connotations of the dark and macabre, extreme music has the ability to be a powerful mode of expression for these feelings of absolute bliss, overwhelming love, and awe-inspiring sublimity. Extreme emotions no less and those which black metal quartet Agriculture evokes with its ecstatic subversion of the subgenre’s tropes. On Agriculture’s self-titled record and first full-length LP, it’s abundantly clear that the band’s use of heavy music to showcase the most resplendent emotions and moments of the human experience has a far deeper meaning. Woven between the flurries of soaring tremolo picking, crescendoing guitar harmonies, celebratory screamed vocals, thoughtful improvisation, and meditative atmospheric passages is the record’s mission statement to experience the wonders and joys of both the esoteric and physical world. These facets are showcased within Agriculture's first single and album opener, "Look Pt. 1," which premieres today as a lyric video. What was initially a meeting and subsequent series of jam sessions between Kern Haug and Daniel Meyer, two musicians in the Los Angeles underground noise scene, would eventually manifest as a shared vision to portray the sublimity of the human experience through the vehicle of heavy music. Following the additions of veteran guitarist Richard Chowenhill and bassist/vocalist Leah Levinson to the band’s lineup, this idea would crystalize into the “ecstatic black metal” backbone of Agriculture’s music, first heard on the band’s 2022 debut EP, The Circle Chant. The concepts and thematic questions previously planted by the band have blossomed into powerful, fully-realized artistic and philosophical statements on Agriculture. To put it in the band’s words, “...where 'The Circle Chant' is like a finger pointing at the moon, the self-titled LP is like a whole body screaming at it with reverence.” Through the extreme splendor of ecstatic black metal and the improvisational, experimental, and cathartic elements it embodies, Agriculture illustrates these otherwise incomprehensible questions with a poignant beauty that makes its music as much of an artistic statement as it is a transcendental experience.

Rock 'n' roll ain't no luxury item. It's essential. It's the blood in our veins and the fire in our hearts. And nobody does it better than Danko Jones. Formed in Toronto in 1996, this six-legged riff 'n' refrain machine have spent the last two decades delivering huge, jolting doses of stripped back 'n' strutting hard rock with the relentlessness of men possessed. Led by Danko himself, the closest thing the modern world has to a credible king of rock'n'roll, and now deftly supported by suave bass maestro John Calabrese and loose-limbed drum god Rich Knox, this pumped-up Canadian power trio grabbed the world's attention with a flurry of early EPs, before exploding fully into action with 2002's full-length debut Born A Lion. Ruthlessly devoted to the road and masters of the lost art of rocking the living shit out of audiences from Utah to Ulan Bator, Danko Jones have grown in strength with every new album and breathless round-the-world trek. While touring with everyone from Volbeat to Guns N' Roses, Danko and his comrades have earned a formidable reputation as one of the few modern hard rock bands that truly unite the tribes, bringing punk rockers and metal purists together through sheer force of personality and amp-wrecking oomph. From classic albums like 2003's flawless We Sweat Blood and its widely acclaimed 2006 follow-up Sleep Is The Enemy (which featured a guest appearance from ex-Kyuss legend John Garcia) to recent triumphs Fire Music (2015) and Wild Cat (2017), Danko Jones have re-written the hard rock rulebook, bringing back all the fun, ferocity and life- affirming power that only the all-time greats can harness. Support now added: The Kut is a British rock multi-instrumentalist & double award winner in the UK Songwriting Contest. Described by Classic Rock as a "refreshing blast of female-driven punk-pop swagger", her second album 'GRIT' shares the story so far, releasing to UK Number 1 Rock Album status. From the empowering 'ANIMO' (meaning courage) to the anthemic tones of 'And 1 More', The Kut and her all-star female collective recently supported high-voltage US rockers, Electric Six and iconic Japanese pop-punk band Shonen Knife and will tour this month supporting Canadian rock trio Danko Jones. Expect a hefty dose of energy, unity and punk-rock spirit. This is a 14+ event (under 16s must be accompanied by an adult).

Since the mid-'80s, northern Quebec's Voivod have forged a unique and globally influential sonic identity. Their shifting personnel has never tempered their iconoclastic yet ever-evolving sound, which juxtaposes death and thrash metal with dissonant prog and hard rock, fueled by jazzy riffs, odd and quickly shifting time signatures, home-made sound effects, and manic, thundering drums. Their lyric themes are inspired by dystopian and sci-fi imagery, political critique, and keen societal observation.

Broadside has never been a band to stay in one place for too long-musically or otherwise. The Richmond, Virginia-based band has spent the past decade carving out their own space in the pop rock scene. Drawing influence from AFI, Kings of Leon, and Taking Back Sunday, their sound seamlessly fuses nostalgic rock energy with a fresh, modern edge. Their evolution has been nothing short of remarkable, taking them from underground favorites to genre staples iTheir last full-length album, Hotel Bleu, served as a bold chapter in their story, using the transient nature of hotel stays as a metaphor for self-reflection, fleeting moments, and personal reinvention. The album marked a significant milestone in their career, amassing over 100 million streams and standing as their boldest, brightest, and most ambitious work to date. Now, as they prepare to enter their next era, the band is gearing up to release their most dynamic music yet, continuing to evolve while staying true to the energy and authenticity that first captivated listeners. With their next chapter under the banner of Thriller Records, Broadside remains a band driven by passion, friendship, and the belief that growth is essential. More than just musicians, they are storytellers, channeling the wide-eyed excitement they once felt as kids dreaming of being in a band. With new music on the horizon in 2025, Broadside is ready to make their biggest impact yet-fearless, evolving, and unapologetically themselves.

House of Protection, the new venture from Stephen Harrison and Aric Improta, serves as a sanctuary for those who surrender to impulse. Abandoning regard for tradition or form, they followed a feeling and unearthed a sound that sees them push their limits further than ever before. Bridging the not-so-disparate worlds of hardcore, electronica, and punk, they forged a space for boundless creativity. Between their shared experience with Fever 333, Aric’s ongoing work with experimental rock group Night Verses and Steve’s turn as guitarist for iconic post-hardcore band The Chariot, the pair are renowned in the world of heavy music for never being afraid of extremes. House of Protection is a continuation of that unabashed self-expression, bottled into a snarling vessel of anger, uncertainty, joy, and creativity. “We wanted to create something where all our ideas, no matter how wild, felt safe,” says Steve. That’s the foundation for which House of Protection was built upon, arming their audience with a level of fearlessness and bliss that blurs the line between crowd and performers. Teaming up with close friends Jordan Fish (ex Bring Me The Horizon) & Nick DePirro (Night Verses), they created the sprawling, urgent debut single ‘It’s Supposed To Hurt.’ “We knew it wasn’t going to be easy to start again from scratch but that phrase became our ethos" offers Aric. House of Protection thrive in the margins of unpredictability, where anything goes and all are invited. Welcome home.
