The Menzingers have been exponentially improving as a band since the beginning, and their new album Rented World only marks another spike in that trend.
With their fourth full-length, Of Mice & Men have affirmed that they aren’t just another name in the constantly growing roster of great metal bands – they’re the kings of the genre.
Buffalo, NY’s Pentimento have become a staple of the modern scene for their hard work, determination, and sincere punk rock ethos.
The foursome known as American Authors are about to be much more than the soundtrack to Lowe’s commercials (where you might recognize their single “Best Day Of My Life”).
With ten songs packed with heart and aggression, the band strays from the laidback pop of their previous albums in favor of a more heavy-yet-melodic sound to get the message across on Golden Record.
We Came As Romans’ new album Tracing Back Roots contains a lot of what their previous fans loved as well as a few surprises thrown in. While the album feels a bit stale at points, altogether it proves to be cohesive, uplifting, and appealing.
Disclaimer: Whenever, If Ever is a love/hate record. If you “get it,†you will be completely floored by its use of vast atmospheric textures and timbres, as well as its nostalgia factor. If you don’t, it will be a whiny, fragmented, enigmatic record that will be a struggle to listen to.
Liferuiner have decided to abandon their ties with old tracks like “A Ticket To The Pussy Crusher†and are trying to write honest, optimistic, and influential songs using key ingredients of melodic metalcore and straightedge hardcore: detuned guitars, predictable breakdowns, and lyrics pertaining to life’s inevitable struggles, hardships, and misery.
There’s familiar, comfortable classic rock, and then there’s edgy and energetic Bree, who brings a sharp feminine twist to the tried and true style of rock and roll. She sings with confidence and attitude, and adds an element of fierceness as bright as her red lipstick and flying V guitar.
