Even if you’re convinced that a band changing their sound is the worst thing that’s ever happened to you, it’s perfectly natural for someone’s music to develop and shift from album to album. But every once in a while, those shifts are so dramatic that the early work ends up sounding like it was released by an entirely different band than the more recent material.
How do you transform a tantalizing metalcore song into an eerie lullaby without losing an ounce of the emotion or the intensity? If we’re talking “Sleepwalking†by the scene-dominating British band Bring Me The Horizon, the only way is to have This Wild Life cover it.
House Of Protection, aka Stephen Harrison and Aric Improta, dazzled new fans with their debut EP GALORE in September 2024, and they’re finally ready to show off their sophomore EP Outrun You All. Fresh off their tour with Poppy, the veteran hardcore duo is making all their wildest sonic dreams come true as they intertwine their heavy roots with jump-inducing trip-hop sonics.

Guitarist Stephen Harrison and drummer Aric Improta (ex-FEVER 333 musicians) “knew it wasn’t going to be easy to start again from scratch, but that phrase became our ethos.

Harrison’s vocals shine on the record, revealing a new level of brilliance for his range. Of “Being One,” Improta says, “‘Being One’… Read more »
Charlotte Sands has officially launched her independent debut album, can we start over? Inspired by the concept of embracing new beginnings, whether it’s through “restarting a relationship,” growing in your career, or other transformative moments in life, the anthemic nine-track release was surely worth the wait. From the previously released singles “blindspot,” “use me,” “pity,” and “get over it,” to the standout single “on the outside” featuring Point North, can we start over? is a declaration of confidence, strength, vulnerability, and embracing change. Earlier this week, before the official release, Sands shared her debut record exclusively with idobi Radio listeners… Read more »
