Jumper Boy – Elephants (Single)
Label – Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Dobbin recommends: When people say “angular guitar”, look up Jumper Boy to find out what they really mean. Always a bright prospect for UK emo, this band has have levelled up in every way for “Elephants“. Sharp chords collide against dulcet vocal tones in a calculated manner, with surprisingly melodic choruses and a more than worthwhile instrumental close.
Ends In Tragedy – Beauty Of Death (Single)
Label – Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Dobbin recommends: This is a big track from Ends In Tragedy, taking their metalcore to epic proportions. Shrill, dramatic vocals and delightful guitar-hero indulgence give them their unique edge. Opening in a blackened stride, the fists will start to swing once the tempo drops, only stopping briefly for the pirouetting melodic stretch at the third minute.
True Gloom – PMS / PMA (Single)
Label – Not Sorry Records
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Joe recommends: Hamburg unit TRUE GLOOM have dropped another single in “PMS/PMA” from their forthcoming self-titled records. Classic hardcore punk riffs fill the track, backed by toe-tapping drum grooves, all of which are commanded by Sabi‘s mean barked vocals.
