RISE UP!
OF MICE & MEN, MEMPHIS MAY FIRE, MISS MAY I and DANCE GAVIN DANCE are the new breed!

Spear-heading the new explosion of post-hardcore with a vibrant collision of metal, pop punk, hardcore and electronica, the quartet of Rise Records bands – Dance Gavin Dance, Of Mice & Men, Memphis May Fire and Miss May I are making some serious waves on both sides of the pond. We caught up with the four biggest bands on the hottest metalcore label in the world to find out why this is the sound and scene that everyone's talking about.

To prove our point we're giving you a free Rise Records sampler CD featuring songs from these bands as well as other raucous bands on their roster, including Attack Attack! (US), Emarosa, Man Overboard, Transit, Sleeping With Sirens, Sharks and many more! Not bad, eh?

We've also got an exclusive Black Veil Brides print for you too!  We spoil you.

Elsewhere we talk to Enter Shikari about creating “a work of art” for their upcoming album, Taking Back Sunday about reuniting their original line-up to be new again, Alkaline Trio's Matt Skiba about the band's fifteenth anniversary, malt liquor and unplugging, Frank Turner on what England means to him and Dangerous! - Australia's hottest new export. How about features on Limp Bizkit, Set Your Goals, Face To Face and Sublime With Rome too?

Also, rap rocker Hyro Da Hero tells us the albums that changed his life and we pay homage to punk provocateur and pop terrorist Adam Ant. There's album reviews of Black Veil Brides, Incubus, Limp Bizkit, Simple Plan, Unearth and Spycatcher as well as live reviews of Slam Dunk Festival, Set Your Goals, Radio Dead Ones and more!
