There’s something comfortingly familiar about Maine pop-punkers Friday Night Lites. The band delivers a debut EP full of relatable tunes that remind us that we’re not alone.
If you needed another reason to believe Bad Timing Records is one of the only record labels you should even bother paying attention to right now, Pentimento’s got you covered.
As Senses Fail begin their newest record with dissonance and a signature driving beat, fans will likely expect the classic post-hardcore sound the band has been known for since their start in 2002.
‘Future Hearts’ is an album for the fans, pure and simple—the ultimate declaration of appreciation for listeners new and old.
After completely crowd-funding their latest record, Young Lions ensure listeners old and new alike won’t be let down with Blue Isla, a new voice for the young, a taste of freedom, and a bright spark of energy.
Talking In Your Sleep crushes all uncertainties and proves this powerful collaboration, with a brazen aptitude for musical experimentation, is certainly a force to be reckoned with.
With Mind Over Matter, Young The Giant have transformed from lovable indie rockers to arena-worthy warriors.
The Things We Think We’re Missing is a record that boasts true confidence from Balance & Composure. While 2011’s Separation tested the waters of their sound, this release is a cohesive piece that has been crafted with careful thought and execution.
Love You In The Dark, the first solo effort of Now, Now’s Brad Hale, slides seamlessly from repetitively somber to ecstatic within the span of a few songs and explores all manners of human strength and weakness. It manages to find the gaps in the armor of humankind in the most delicate way possible, which is often a considerable feat for seemingly innocuous pop or electronic music.
Although You’re Always On My Mind marks the second full-length release for A Great Big Pile Of Leaves, it’s the band’s first album with an outside producer (Ed Ackerson) and the musical advances shine through. The album feels like the first time you surpass the “small talk†level with someone and realize that they’re holding plenty of mixed feelings about this whole life thing within themselves, too.
