Unless you’ve been chronically offline or living under a rock, the name Scowl is likely very familiar to you if you’re a hardcore fan. Over the last few years, the California quintet have shot through the ranks at lightning speed, carving out a space for their piercing brand of aggression alongside bands like Turnstile and Drain. Now, they’re cordoning off part of that space just for them.

The way music is released has begun to shift. Though albums are still an enormous part of the culture (and always will be), some bands are moving into a more consistent and lengthy release process, stringing together regular singles and EP’s to better take advantage of the algorithmic social media age. The Plot In You are one of those bands, back again with another instalment of their episodic releases in the form of ‘Vol. 3’. If you liked the first two releases, you’re bound to like this one, too.

Brighton newcomers Every Hell are an absolute bottle rocket of a band. Comprised of ex-members of Broker, Memory Of Elephants and the much loved, sorely missed Black Peaks, the quartet bring all of the character from their previous projects and splice it with a rich, explosive, adrenaline-fuelled rush. Their debut EP ‘Vertebrate’ is the perfect introduction into their world and there’s a very high chance that you’ll want to stay there for a very, very long time.
