<description>On neverland [CHAPTER II], SINCE 2000 complete the story they began with chapter I, closing the curtain on a coming of age narrative that confronts the darker corners of growth, identity and healing. Out now via Easy Life Records.

Darker, heavier, and more intense, this second chapter of neverland is the yang to the first chapter’s yin. Not only complimenting the latter’s poppier side but evolving it and showing off different sides to the band. This is a SINCE 2000 that everyone can love/ It’s an EP that might come shrouded in darkness, but it shows that SINCE 2000’s future has never seemed brighter.

Read the full review here: https://www.gbhbl.com/ep-review-since-2000-neverland-chapter-ii-easy-life-records/

We spoke with Dan, Scott, and Kyle of the band about the new EP, the journey to its release, how the two EPs fit together, what the future might look like, and so much more.

Since 2000 Interview: Closing the Curtain on the NEVERLAND Saga

<description>Takedown Festival 2026 is now well and truly in the rearview mirror, and the general consensus is that it was the best one to date. Not just because of an incredible bunch of bands, but because of how well organised it was. It is fast becoming one of the most unmissable events of the year.

You can read our full review of the festival here: https://www.gbhbl.com/takedown-festival-2026-the-review/

To wrap up our coverage of the event, we chatted to the organisers Sarah and Kai Harris. Breaking down the festival and their experience of it. We also talk about what went well, what lessons they learnt, the wealth of talent showcased, when we might hear about Takedown Festival 2027, TikTok, and we really dig into the detail around President!

Talking Takedown Festival with Sarah & Kai Harris - Past, Present, & Future

<description>Australia has long been a powerhouse for heavy music, but the Melbourne-based outfit ANA is currently carving out a niche that defies traditional categorization. Identifying as a couture symphonic metal band, the group seamlessly merges high-fashion aesthetics with the grandiosity of melodic metal.

On May 29th, 2026 (Eclipse Records), they will release their brand-new full-length album ‘Motivated by Death’. An album that features the provocative ‘Hate Me’ single.

That track, its visually arresting music video, and the response to it, is just one part of our interview with band members, Anna Khristenko (Vocals) and Josh Mak (Guitar). We also talk about the upcoming album, the creative journey the band has been on, and much more.

Interview: The Exciting Provocative Nature of ANA with Vocalist Anna and Guitarist Josh

<description>Cork-based alternative rock trio, The Last Vinci, will release their new album ’15 Minutes at a Time’ on April 17th via Narrow Door Records.

A powerful, deeply personal chronicle of resilience, transformation, and gratitude. At the heart of ‘15 Minutes at a Time’ lies a phrase that frontman Alex Vinci never expected would change his life. Two years ago, after being diagnosed with a chronic illness just ten days before what he believed would be his final European tour, Alex’s wife offered him simple, grounding advice:

Take it 15 minutes at a time.

Those words became a mantra, one that reshaped his creative voice, his view of the world, and ultimately, the soul of this new record. Supported by his family and six children, Alex embarked on a path of rediscovery, learning to live, work, and create in small, determined increments. ‘15 Minutes at a Time’ captures the entirety of that journey: the before, the during, and the after. The album channels the fear, uncertainty, hope, and resilience that transformed a life-changing diagnosis into a profound source of meaning.

In this interview, we dig into the mantra and how Alex has been able to make it intrinsic to his life and how it has inspired this new record. We also talk about the creative journey, the challenges, the joy of playing live, and so much more.

Interview: 15 Minutes at a Time - A Lived Mantra for Alex of The Last Vinci

<description>Bristol-based experimental outfit, Sugar Horse, will release ‘Not a Sound in Heaven’, the band's 3rd studio album, on 10th April 2026 via Fat Dracula Records.

As indefinable as ever, somehow sounding simpler and more complicated than ever in equal measure, this new Sugar Horse album is unlike anything they’ve ever done before.

A punishing, cerebral, and enthralling dive into the world of experimental heavy music, it sees the band pushing the electronic edge of their sound even further, and thematically draws on the increasingly dark-feeling times we're living through.

In this interview we spoke to vocalist and guitarist Ashley Tubb about the new album and the direction that Sugar Horse has gone in. We also talk about their constant desire to push boundaries and never do the same thing twice, as well as so much more.
