Bandit – Of Life
What started out as a solo project by Angela Plake, turned into a full band kinda affair after moving to Nashville where she was joined by guitarist Dan Bishop and drummer Charles Miller.
Hunted
Created by Frank Spotnitz (X-Files, Millennium), Hunted centers around security agent Samantha (Melissa George) who suddenly returns after having been gone for a year, following an attempt on her life. She goes back to work at the private espionage firm Byzantium but not without her suspicions as she believes that it’s one of her co-workers who had her set up to be killed.
The Rover
The Rover is David Michôd’s follow-up to Animal Kingdom, which centered around a Melbourne crime clan. This one is set in a world 10 years after the collapse of society, where the law is what you want it to be and life is cheap. Eric (Guy Pearce with a bushy beard) is a hardened loner who travels from one desolate town to the next via the deserted roads of the outback. When a gang of thieves steal his car after a botched robbery, Eric is hell-bent on getting his only possession back.
Cloakroom – Further Out
If we are to believe Pitchfork, Cloakroom will be our favorite new emo band. Not sure if I completely agree with that statement, but Cloakroom definitely have a couple of things going for them.
Funeral For A Friend – Chapter And Verse
I have to admit I kinda lost track of - and interest in - Funeral For A Friend back when things became a bit too sugary and soulless.
Twisted – Utopia
Twisted has already been around in one way, shape or form since 2008 when Jon Mohajer started it as a bedroom project.
The Sidekicks – Runners In The Nerved World
It’s kinda funny that The Sidekicks have inked a deal with Epitaph, only to then release their least punk album to date. Not haha funny. But still. Anyway… back to the Sidekicks!
Raised Fist – From The North
Swedish hardcore punks Raised Fist are back with their first new album in five years. It’s called “From The North” because… well, they are from Sweden.

Adolescents / Svetlanas – Hot War
