Some bands mellow with age. Pop Evil, on the other hand, have gone the other way – getting noisier, heavier, and more unrelenting with each passing album. What Remains, their eighth full-length release, is the culmination of that journey. This isn’t just another Pop Evil record; this is the sound of a band snapping off the handbrake, baring their scars, and smacking harder than ever before. Right from the opening notes, What Remains grabs you by the throat.

It’s that time of year again! Spring is in the air, and the UK’s favourite DIY punk festival returns for its tenth year—bringing together 140 bands across Manchester’s best venues. Of course, we’re talking about Manchester Punk Festival, and this year promises to be an absolute stormer. Bring the Noise has been present at the festival for the past few years, and it’s clear that the atmosphere and drama-free vibe of this event are unmatched.

It’s a rare and beautiful thing when a band turns a gig into something that feels like a full-blown event. A seismic, once-in-a-lifetime, oh-my-god-we-were-there kind of night. And if you were lucky enough to witness it then strap yourself in, because you know exactly what went down.

Picture the scene if you will. Out the back of a sweaty, packed metal venue and System of a Down, Rage Against the Machine, and Gojira are having an almighty tear up. A chaotic, sweaty, riff-fuelled rager in a back alley. And just when you thought it was over, they grabbed a meaty, bone rattling chorus, smacked you in the chops, and threw you into the pit. That’s Nu Delhi, the second album from India’s loudest, proudest, and most unapologetically ambitious metal export, Bloodywood.
