SonicAbuse Music, mayhem and a whirlwind of SonicAbuse : a rapidly expanding website dealing with underground and independent acts...

SonicAbuse is a music site dedicated to those bands who are underrepresented elsewhere. We particularly focus on international music rather than the more traditional Western-orientated music media and it is our goal to bring information about the very best music and make it readily available to people tired of reading about the same old bands week in, week out in the mainstream press.

What an absolute pleasure to review the debut album from Drink The Sea, a band that features members of R.E.M., Screaming Trees, Mad Season, Queens of the Stone Age, and more.

Somewhat awestruck review here: https://sonicabuse.com/drink-the-sea-volume-i-ii-cd-review/

The Levellers were on fiery form at Vaillant Live in Derby, even if the crowd were a touch more sedate than usual - full review and images here:

We should be thankful that The Levellers, now nearly forty years into their career, continue to play with all the passion and power of their youthful selves.

Our Story

We’re a non-commercial, non-profit, non-genre-aligned website dedicated to helping spread the word about the best bands we can lay our hands on. We live for the passion, the excitement, the blood, the sweat and the tears that comes with making music and we try to cover music in a way that is passionate and constructive. With so many amazing bands out there and only a handful of writers, we don’t cover nearly as much material as we get sent, but we always *try* to support the bands, festivals and labels that put their hearts into their music.
