Featured Up and Coming Artists:
Dan Byrne swept in off the Mersey, announcing himself as a solo artist in 2023 with his debut EP, Beginnings. His powerhouse, soul-inflected vocal and deftly-executed, yet hugely accessible songcraft has quickly marked him out as an artist on the rise.
In just two years Dan has toured the UK three times, delivered standout performances at multiple festivals and found overwhelming support from Planet Rock - the UK’s leading rock station - where his first four singles amassed an impressive 25 weeks on the playlist. With that foundation firmly in place, Byrne now turns his focus to the release of his long-awaited debut solo album, marking the next powerful step in his evolution as an artist.
This Is Where The Show Begins - Dan’s debut album - is full of joy and confidence. There’s a swagger alongside the sensitivity, a further broadening of musical scope. But at the centre of it, is that voice - as powerful as it is vulnerable, as emotive as it is strong.

With Chance Worth Taking, Broussard steps into a defining new chapter, delivering a soul-drenched blues record that marks a natural arrival.

Dominum, the rising stars of modern metal, unveil the second track cut from their upcoming full-length Night Is Calling, set for release on July 3, 2026, via Napalm Records. The infectious anthem, entitled “Doctor Doctor,” is driven by crushing riffs and irresistible hooks, showcasing the band’s signature blend of theatrical horror themes and massive sing-along choruses, destined to echo across festival crowds.
London’s Night Thieves are coming in hard and fast, and they’re not easing up for anyone. The alt-metal four-piece have been building serious momentum off the back of a sound packed with crushing riffs, razor-sharp hooks, and huge, fist-in-the-air choruses. Their debut album Metaxis is out now, and it’s a clear statement of intent.
Following 2024’s Polarity EP, Night Thieves teamed up once again with producer Romesh Dodangoda (Bring Me The Horizon, Nova Twins, Funeral For A Friend) for Metaxis, and the result hits bigger, heavier, and more focused than anything they’ve done before.
Wolfram represent Europe’s hope for rock’s return to the established mainstream. With their downtuned guitars, aggressive soundscapes, and choruses clearly built for massive festival stages, Wolfram bring fresh energy to the European rock scene. Their sound combines modern metal aesthetics with catchy pop melodies and influences from contemporary electronic music. The result is an explosive mix that sounds as heavy as it is anthemic.
“Break The Code” blends the rebellious attitude of the early 2000s with the force of modern rock. Driven by powerful riffs and a catchy chorus, the song has all the potential to go straight into rotation on international rock radio stations.
Gold Coast-based hard rock outfit These Four Walls have come out of the gate swinging with their latest single “Bones”, released May 8th 2026.
