Chaotic, Mayhem, and Groompy return with an international RockMental episode as the UK and France go head‑to‑head in a Battle of the Scenes, spotlighting underground rock bands from both countries and asking the ultimate question — which scene rocks the hardest?

This episode dives deep into new rock music discovery, featuring four bands total — two from the UK and two from France — representing different corners of their local scenes. From gritty riffs and raw energy to modern edge and heavy atmosphere, this showdown highlights the diversity and power of today’s independent rock movement.

If you’re searching for new rock bands, underground rock, UK rock, French rock, and artists you should be adding to your playlists right now, this episode delivers an international dose of fresh sound and scene culture.

PLUS: We breakdown the winners of the iHeart Radio Awards in the alternative and rock categories, and let’s just say we have some thoughts!

As always, the conversation blends rock music culture, community, and mental health, straight from the RockMental crew.
