For over 20 years, Canadian hardcore heavyweights Cancer Bats have built a reputation for relentless intensity, explosive live shows, and a fiercely loyal global following. With seven acclaimed studio albums (six JUNO-nominated), they've toured extensively across North America, Europe, Asia, and beyond, becoming a defining force in modern heavy music. Their career has taken them from underground clubs to major international festivals. Now celebrating more than two decades together, Cancer Bats return stronger than ever - delivering one of their most ambitious and anticipated releases to date: their eighth studio album, Give Me Dirt. Recorded with renowned producer Kurt Ballou, the album captures the band's raw power while pushing their sound into new territory. Inspired by nature, travel, and personal reflection, the record explores themes of loss, resilience, and reconnection with the natural world.

Big Truck is the sound of Laurie Vincent stepping into a different light. Known for the raw intensity of Soft Play, here he trades abrasion for atmosphere - crafting songs that move between indie-pop melody, cinematic sweep, and offbeat charm. Formed alongside longtime friend Sam Coppins and a tight-knit group of players, the band feels both instinctive and expansive. Their music blends jangled hooks reminiscent of The Cure and The Smiths with richer, widescreen textures, all anchored by lyrics that are candid, wry, and deeply human - balancing life's small joys with its inevitable lows. Big Truck's debut Midday at the Middleway is immediate and unpolished in the best way. It's an album about acceptance of mistakes, of contradictions, of the messy middle ground, and the quiet confidence that comes with it.

Gen and the Degenerates: Earthly Delights [CD]

Life Is Bliss finds Gallus embracing the absurdity of modern life with their trademark mix of biting humour, punk urgency and brutal self-awareness. Across 12 tracks, the Glasgow outfit tears into insecurity, social pressures, dead-end systems and self-sabotage, balancing chaos with moments of surprising vulnerability. Loud, sharp and cathartic, it's Gallus at their most confident yet.
