‘Never Say Never’ should be permanently implied or rather become an explicit motto for every band nowadays. Granted, you can only take a band on their present word, but calling it a day or going on hiatus doesn’t seem like a permanent thing anymore – it may as well be accompanied by an asterisk. In 2014 we’ve seen iconic melodic death metallers At The Gates announce their first studio album in 19 years. This followed Carcass who released their first album in 17 years in 2013. Popular UK punk/hardcore outfit Basement have returned from hiatus, Saosin are hinting at writing new material and local favourites Mary Jane Kelly are pushing forward again this year. Here’s a cross section of bands – some who are taking a break, some that are merely inactive and others that have officially called it quits – that we’d love to see back and making music again.

Cheap Girls have announced that their new album, 'Famous Graves,' will be released on May 13 through Xtra Mile Recordings.

A man with a golden face has released a killer free EP.. I'd love to tell you all about Golden Features, but I can't. Literally he/she just released a self-titled EP for free on Soundcloud last night, and it's killer. The genre-traversion found on Golden Features is great, with some slow jams, bassy music, winding house, trippy samples and more to be found. Best you just go listen to it: Everyone likes a bit of mystery with their music-makers, and one gets the feeling we'll be hearing plenty more from Golden Features in 2014. For now you can like them on FACEBOOK or follow through the Soundcloud above.
