With Absent Light, Misery Signals are doing exactly what they know best: staying true to their heavy sound and delivering their most polished and refined record to date.
Satori is an epic of an album spanning the depths of human emotion. The lyrics are compelling, the melodies are complex but catchy, and the musicianship displays pure talent throughout.
With their third effort J.A.C.K., Forever The Sickest Kids do away with their slew of co-writers and producers, yet the end product, while fun and enjoyable, seems to lack much direction.
The newest release from Captain, We’re Sinking is a collection of desperate, too-close-for-comfort stories that are driven by unexpected instrumental complexities, troubled vocals, and pure punk grit.
Please Remain Calm stands as an anthem for a lost generation. In a time of questions and heartache, Hostage Calm rises to the occasion to capture the story of the youth in a dwindling nation.
In an age where sometimes it seems that computers have replaced instruments and auto-tune has replaced voice lessons, from time to time it’s best to go back to the basics of raw simplicity – to show off your untainted, unrestricted talent in a stripped-down and intimate way. Joshua Michael Robinson’s Intentions does just that, combining powerful lyrics with modest instrumentals that really shine the spotlight on his distinctive voice.
Such Gold’s debut full-length Misadventures takes the problems everyone can relate to and turns them into gut-twisting melodic hardcore songs. Known for their catchy EP’s, this time around the band has dropped the sing-a-long choruses and traded them in for a more complex sound with the help of producer Steve Evetts (Lifetime, Saves The Day, Every Time I Die).
For his forthcoming fourth album The Midsummer Station, Owl City’s Adam Young did something he has never done before: he collaborated with co-producers, co-writers, and other artists. The album is a culmination of crisp, finely-tuned vocals, and explosive pop tunes that will delight the moment they hit.
The Front Bottoms’ self-titled debut full length is unlike anything that has ever been heard before – in the best way possible. It’s what happens when Mountain Goats-like vocals meet punk and pop influences in the form of a quirky duo and it is pure unintentional brilliance.
Who’s ready for a little shazam in their life? Mix in a little 1980’s head banging and theatrical vocals and you get the one and only Foxy Shazam and their new album The Church of Rock and Roll.
