Reclus.É is the incendiary and exciting brand new band from Daniel P. Carter and Soren Bryce (Tummyache), and today (Friday May 29th) can announce their signing to Rise/BMG, as well as release their brilliant debut single, 'A Muted TV'.

Taking the stage in front of larger-than-life screens, Australian pop-punk titans Tonight Alive rolled into London for a night of pure emotion and nostalgia.

And they absolutely delivered.

2026 marks 20 years of Slam Dunk, as well as 10 years of The Key Club Stage and this year was filled with an incredible line-up filled with nostalgic bands (Good Charlotte, A, Dashboard Confessional, Broadside to name a few), festival titans (Bury Tomorrow, Knocked Loose, Malevolence), exciting debuts (Currents, President, The Home Team), viral bands currently on an unstoppable roll (Unpeople) and a tease of what the future may hold (Dead Pony, SiM). Whether you came for the pop-punk/alt rock emo nostalgia, the moshpit heavy titans, or to see what the fuss of the new bands is all about, there was something for everyone! With the amount of rock and metal sub-genres out there, it’s getting increasingly difficult to please everyone; however, I’m happy to say that Slam Dunk managed to deliver yet again a line-up that offers stellar options for any fans.

From the unapologetic "top vs bottom" rhetoric of MUDRAT to the joy of Genand the Degenerates and the hybrid one-of-a-kind sound of Native James, this was a manifesto set to a high standard.
