It’s even better when you can do it with… Read more »
“Let go of your idols to discover the unknown. When we leave this world, have to do it on our own. Pass the torch to be born again. Searching through the discord, swallowed by your sin.” Metalcore is having somewhat of a renaissance in recent years. More and more genre-specific festivals are popping up while long-standing bands in the scene are jumping in with exciting new records. This Friday, For The Fallen Dreams put their mark on the modern era with their self-titled seventh LP. Coming from Arising Empire Records, For The Fallen Dreams boasts a classic metalcore backbone with… Read more »
“They lit a match that you gave me. So I could light up the dark.” Put on your studded belt and get ready for a heaped portion of nostalgia: Story of the Year’s new album Tear Me To Pieces comes out this week. The St. Louis-based post-hardcore veterans are back after a five-year wait with their sixth studio album via Sharptone Records. The band was instrumental in the post-hardcore movement 20 years ago when their debut album Page Avenue dropped. With their catchy choruses, explosive riffs, emotional lyrics, and a true blend of multiple genres, Story of the Year went… Read more »
You cannot miss the opportunity to hear Amy Lee sing “Save me” in chorus with a packed arena.
“I don’t know where you begin but it’s where I wanna end” Is there anything better than a beloved band returning after years away and delivering a no-skip album? I don’t think so—and apparently, Beach Weather agrees. Formed in 2015 and releasing two (excellent) EPs before going on hiatus in 2017, Beach Weather—Nick Santino, Reeve Powers, and Sean Silverman—re-emerged in late 2021 and now they’re officially back with their debut full-length, Pineapple Sunrise. Before we get any further, I have to confess that I’ve been a Nick Santino stan (a Stantino, if you will) since I started listening to his… Read more »
Geek Girl Riot is bursting at the seams with great content—we chat with the cast of My Dad the Bounty Hunter, and get into the likes of Creed III, Cocaine Bear, Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre, and Daisy Jones and the Six.
Photo credit: Tom Barnes December 8, 2012: I’ve recently graduated university, I’m working a customer service job while I try to figure out my future, and I’m standing inside London’s Wembley Arena, screaming my lungs out to You Me At Six. Since then, I’ve talked about this moment a lot: That time I flew to London, a trip built around one of my favorite bands. You Me At Six was celebrating the end of an album cycle with their largest show to date and as soon as the “Final Night of Sin” was announced, I knew I had to be… Read more »

The Hella Mega tour felt like two different iterations of my life clashing together.
From the moment you’re in Chad Tepper’s presence, you know he lives and breathes gratitude, authenticity, and pop-punk. If there is anyone out there being unapologetically himself, it’s this man. Chad is friends with everyone in the room, and the different parts of his life all intersect to make him exactly who he is. His music career, the people he surrounds himself with, his life philosophies, and his dreams all flow together. When I sat down with Chad at The Gathering, he immediately set the tone by saying, “We need to be more appreciative. We have air in our lungs.”… Read more »
