Well the lead singer is "Frank Carter" from the Gallows, he left the Gallows to form Pure Love. He wasn't happy with the direction in which the Gallows were heading, he wanted to leave it all behind hence why he left. After he left the Gallows he took up singing lessons (Let's face it, he didn't do much singing in the Gallows) Nobody knew what Pure Love were going to sound like until they played songs on Valentines day in 2012 at Bush Hall in London, after which they released a few singles. They turned out to be kind of alternative rock/ punk rock, which is a million miles away in terms of vocals from where he was at with Gallows who are a metalcore/hardcore-punk band.
When their sound came out, the opinions on the band were very mixed. Comments like "What are you doing Frank" plagued the bands YouTube videos, but Frank did answer his critics in the first line of their first single. he SINGS (That's right, sings. Very well) "I’m so sick of singing about hate, It’s never gonna make a change" which pretty much sums up why he left the Gallows.
I love Pure Love and even though I saw them before their album was released (Leeds Festival 2012) I thought they were incredible, definitely one of my highlights of the entire festival. They basically preformed the whole set from inside the crowd rather than on stage, If you get chance definitely go and see these guys.
They released an album at the beginning of this year, definitely buy it. It's incredible. It is called "Anthems"
Anyway here is my favourite...
This was their first single, listen and let me know what you think!

Your Demise
BEWARE! THESE GUYS HAVE JUST ANNOUNCED THEY ARE BREAKING UP IN MARCH 2014 AFTER ALL THEIR TOURS! Thought I"d open up your eyes to this awesome band whilst you still have a chance to see them.
I have liked these for so long but not yet gone to see them, partly due to nobody else I know liking them. Anyway! Your Demise are a hardcore punk band from England.If I was going to compare them to anyone they're a little bit like "Architects" and "Every Time I Die" (If you like Your Demise, you should definitely listen to these guys) Your Demise have 3 albums out and have released some new songs this year. It has not be said I prefer their first album because It's a little heavier and I prefer the vocalist they had then in 2008, they seem to change the bands line-up a lot! I'm not saying I don't like the vocalist now but he is a lot more punky. They started in like 2003 and nobody in the band now was in the band back then...
Anyway this is my favourite...
Anyway like I said the vocalist has changed since then (twice I think)So give their newest material a listen "Karma" is a really good song. Let me know what you think...

Turbowolf
WOW! Never listened to these guys before I saw them support Cancer Bats at KoKo. They were incredible. Basically, I think the lead singer is Jesus, just look at him, he is the coolest man ever. I really don't know what genre I would put these under but hear goes, they are a: Electronic Psychedelic Punk Metal band from Bristol, UK.
Ok, the frontman (Chris Georgiadis) keyboard skills are not fantastic, and the tunes he blasts out on the keyboard are very simple but they sound incredible when mixed with the whole song. The guitar and drums are good too. But Chris' vocals are out of this world, he had so much energy on stage too. He told jokes, he was so appreciative of the crowd.
I dont normally like it when smaller bands cover my favourite songs because sometimes it feels like bands try to get big off of bigger bands songs, but Turbowolf's version of Electric Feel is mind-blowing! It feature on their album which came out last year, which is simply called "Turbowolf" (On spotfiy, but i'd recommend you buy it)
Here is my favourite song...
Tell me what you think :)
