Sometimes, the true test of an artist’s abilities is when they have to prove themselves as a performer, and we’re of the opinion that New Jersey’s Jewels Gold has got what it takes. Evidently, so does she: Gold sat on her debut EP for close to a year until shooting live videos for the whole …

PREMIERE: ERRORR go for the throat on savage debut album taster ‘Sixxx’
No messing around here: Berlin trio ERRORR‘s new song is a beast. If fired-up noise rock is your thing, you should keep an eye on this lot.
