Whilst Ann Arbor and Detroit acts such as The Stooges and the MC5 were precursors to what would inspire bands to create a sound known as punk rock, the proper formation of the movement took place in New York City in the early 70s. Groups like The New York Dolls and The Velvet Underground went on to further lay a foundation for the scene with bands like Television, The Ramones and Patti Smith elevating the culture to new heights, eventually creating an international buzz. This legacy of the grit and grind, the hustle and the New York DIY ethic is one that Brooklyn band The So So Glos know oh so well. They are the now generation of rockers proudly flying the flag for NYC with a spirit and sound that is energetic and resonant.

Published by
It would be highly unfair to simply label East London band Sonitus as one who creates one particular sound of rock. Whilst they indeed push the pedal to a full throttle of alternative, there flourishing melodies and switching instrumentation nods at everything from progressive metal to even hints of soul tones. However you choose to try to dissect it, it's simply good, quality rock and roll. This is evident with their debut EP 'Kleptocracy'. Consisting of 7 tracks in total, the release is a fiery whirlwind of racing guitars, hard-thumping drums and the reeling vocals of Russell Balogun, who delivers a graceful performance on top of the album's well-polished production. This is an impressive debut from a band who will be on everyone's brain extremely soon.
