Jungle (Filmawi)

Jungle released their eagerly anticipated fourth album VOLCANO to critical acclaim alongside their first feature-length film VOLCANO, The Motion Picture on 11th August ahead of their massive headline show at London’s Victoria Park as part of this year’s All Points East Festival. Their recent singles – Candle Flame, Dominoes, I’ve Been In Love and Back On 74 – see the band using the exemplary musicianship and live instrumentation of their renowned live shows as the foundation for their forward-facing, hybrid of disco, soul and hip-hop. Resulting in 25 million streams so far, the four tracks have earned extensive ongoing support at Radio 1 as well as further key airplay spanning Radio 2, Radio 5, 6 Music, Apple Music 1 and Radio X.

Having also shared their new focus track You Ain’t No Celebrity which features artist and legendary, influential UK rapper Roots Manuva, the song explores themes of fame, relationships, and personal identity.

With VOLCANO, the duo of Josh Lloyd-Watson and Tom McFarland have once again proven themselves to be one of the most exciting and innovative artists in electronic music. They continue to push the boundaries of their sound, creating an uplifting and free-spirited album, solidifying the duo’s status as one of the most important voices in contemporary music.

Renowned for their huge live shows, Jungle are excited to be heading to Manchester’s Castlefield Bowl next summer for a very special show. Tickets go on sale Friday 22nd September at 9:30am and will be available from www.gigsandtours.com / www.ticketmaster.co.uk.

Britainicana Is Louder That Americana: Westside Cowboy Stampede Through Portsmouth

Lacuna Coil @ Stylus, Leeds (John Hayhurst)

Midweek Metal Mass: Lacuna Coil Blaze Through Leeds Stylus

Italian goth heavyweights Lacuna Coil turn Tuesday into a blackout ritual at Leeds Stylus, backed by a fired-up opening assault from Florida bruisers Nonpoint.

Nonpoint hit the stage like they’ve been itching for it all day. Elias Soriano stalks the mic with clipped precision, spitting hooks and commands in equal measure. Robb Rivera goes straight for the gut behind the kit, while Adam Woloszyn grinds out bass lines with industrial weight. Guitarist’s Jaysin Zeilstra and Rasheed Thomas add bite and distortion, feeding the noise without ever tipping it into clutter. The band sound more drilled-in than on their last UK run — tighter, sharper, still proudly abrasive.
