More like hello, hello to an amazing band from the UK! Led By Lanterns released their new song, “DXWN” and it is awesome!
What is best about this song is the passionate vocals and the in-your-face chorus.
You can find them on Facebook, Twitter, and their Instagram. For more music, you can also find them on Spotify!
It’s no secret that we like modern metalcore here at RMP – after all, Warped Tour never died in our hearts.
When German 4 piece Torrential Rain sent a new track to be shared, it was an instant “yes!”
Not only have we shared their music in the past (read our writeup about “Home Alone”), we also really enjoyed the new track “Left Outside” and decided that this well-crafted track needed to get a couple extra listens.
Take a listen now, and enjoy the video created by Christian Brauner featuring lighting by Michael Dorner.
We’ve all been affected by the pandemic in one way or another. Practically everything we hear is bad news – after all there isn’t much good that comes from a global pandemic.
But there’s at least one good thing that we can thank the pandemic for: The Pauline Principle.
The band have just released their debut single, “Broken and Prone” and a lyric video to go with it. The song is extremely well produced, and showcases how artists from vastly different areas of the globe can collaborate to make great music.
With this being the band’s first single, I have to say I hope there are many more to come!
The Dent Act are one of the best bands I’ve heard all year and I would love to introduce them to you!
The Dent Act are an alternative rock band from Portsmouth, UK and they released their debut single, “Old Tattoo”.
For a band that’s just starting out, they are doing a hell of a good job with their catchy lyrics, passionate vocals, and music that will rock your pants off.
I cannot wait to hear more from this band!
You can follow them on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. You can also listen to them on Spotify!
Ok, enough with the three-year-old-meme puns, the floor in Batman Returns is not lava – but according to Batman, it’s high in fiber.
The Losing Score is a UK-based band, with influences from pop punk and alt rock – to my outside perspective, it seems like the members may be fans of Weezer as well as PUP, but that’s just a gut feeling.
The band unabashedly wrote their new song “Eat Floor, High Fibre” about the 1992 movie Batman Returns. The catchy chorus with more laid back verses are a classic combo that’s tried and true, but still great to hear.
Christmas is a few weeks out, but this is probably the closest you’ll see RMP getting to holiday music – take a listen now!

UK-based elctro rock act ESTHR have been regularly releasing singles for about four years, and their latest effort “Violence” is stellar in every way.
Not only do the music and lyrics convey the anger of what’s been happing in the world this year, the production and mix highlight that energy quite nicely. It probably helped that the band had to write the song remotely, likely fueling the frustration being poured into the song.
In fact, judging by the sound you’d think you’re listening to a major label act, it’s that good – yet ESTHR is an independent band. It shows that they’ve clearly got their priorities straight and know that to have a shot in music, they have to put out the best product possible, and they’ve certainly done that!
This isn’t British rocker EJ Mann’s first rodeo: he’s been making music for quite some time now, playing in bands such as The Minority and The Call – not to be confused with the 80s US band of the same name.
It’s often difficult to choose which songs to write about, because there’s so much great music out there these days. “It’s Automatic” made it easy though, grabbing listeners’ attention with a simple, yet classic, drum intro that rolls right into the start of the song.
Newer artists may have made the mistake of jumping into the song right away, or perhaps having a much longer intro. EJ didn’t do that – he found the right spot in between to have a short but effective intro.
Moving on from there, the lead guitar pulls you in even further. As things build through the verse, the arrangement does an amazing job of highlighting the vocals, but keeping the guitars just interesting enough that they’re also a highlight of the song.
Definitely keep EJ on your radar, I’m sure we’ll be hearing more great tracks soon!
Based in Connecticut, American Thrills is a product of the pandemic. The band is made up of members of The Tired and True as well as Shut Up and Deal.
With an EP produced by Nick Bellmore (who has worked with Hatebreed and Make Do and Mend) on the way, saying I’m excited to hear more from this band would be an understatement. The EP will be released on December 18th, so keep your ears peeled!
With such a clean and clear mix, combined with their new classic punk sound akin to Off With Their Heads and Dropkick Murphys, American Thrills is ready to grow their audience!

If you’ve been keeping up with what I’ve been sharing on RMP this year, you know this is at least the third time I’m sharing a new track from The Dirty Nil.
Normally I try not to share too much music from the same artist… But these songs have hit me so hard, I just couldn’t resist.
The band’s upcoming third full length drops on January 1st, 2021 and you can rest assured that it’s as killer as the singles from front to back. The album, which is being released by Dine Alone Records, will not disappoint you.
Until the album drops, you can enjoy one more from The Dirty Nil, “One More and The Bill” – take a listen!

I don’t know how, but apparently I’ve slept on We Were Sharks for nearly a decade. After hearing this song, I asked some friends if they knew We Were Sharks… And one of them did.
So, ensue sharing their back catalog and my friend sending me her favorite songs. Ok, so somehow this band’s music evaded me until now. That’s ok.
Let’s make up for it by sharing their kickass new song, “Shameless”! You can listen below, and if you like what you hear, I have good news: the band will be releasing a new album in 2021 on Known Accomplice/Cadence Records and Revival Recordings.
