With a pop punk style and a vintage sound, Forever Came Calling take one step further towards the limelight with this album.
Passion Pit’s Gossamer examines dark, haunting subject matters through infectious synthesizer-infused pop, resulting in an enigmatic yet enjoyable album. The deeply personal lyrics of singer-songwriter/producer Michael Angelakos intrigue the psyche and delve into the abyss of depression, heartbreak, and loneliness while electronic melodies soar playfully overtop.
With the release of their second full-length, Make Do And Mend have avoided the sophomore slump and come out with an impressive and massive-sounding album. Everything You Ever Loved sees the band expanding their sound while still keeping the heavy emotion always found in their music.
Synthetica, the latest release from Canadian indie rock darlings Metric, offers a rejuvenating sound with an atmospheric element. The album delivers powerful anthems weaved into tremendous choruses that take the listener for a wild and exotic ride.
A significant improvement on their debut release, Broadway’s latest effort Gentlemen’s Brawl is packed with contagious energy and an addictive sound that is bound to distinguish them in today’s music scene.
Filled with Bryce Avary’s signature piano hooks and the positive, upbeat lyrics he’s always delivered, The Rocket Summer’s latest release Life Will Write the Words is everything his fans could ask for.
It has been over three years since The All-American Rejects’ less-than-stellar release of When The World Comes Down, and they’ve finally offered fans a sign of redemption. An outstanding blend of traditional Rejects alternative style with a touch of experimental flair, Kids in the Street is bound to be a hit among new and old fans alike.
An Every Time I Die album always packs a punch (or makes you want to punch someone!) and the band’s latest release Ex Lives is no different.
Good Old War’s sound remains simple and folksy with the release of Come Back As Rain. The songs bring the band’s graceful three-part vocal harmonies and twangy, rhythmic guitars to the forefront to create an album that is easy to set on repeat.
