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.
Real Friends are one of those bands who, although their musical repertoire is far from extensive, have yet to put out a bad song. Their latest EP Put Yourself Back Together is no exception – but there’s no sign of the band pushing their limits or trying something new.
With Feel, Sleeping With Sirens achieve every band’s goal: releasing a new album that offers something fresh while still retaining the sound their fans fell in love with. Whether your preference is angst-driven metal or poignant pop, this album is sure to leave you feeling something.
Forever Halloween digs deep to unearth some serious human truths – and sounds appropriately mature doing so. The album boasts worldliness in comparison to The Maine’s earlier catalogue, and it’s evident from the authenticity of the collection how effectively the members have channeled their experience of growing up into their work.
With a sound that calls to mind the likes of The Black Keys, The White Stripes, and Kasabian, Orthodox is one of those records that is meant to be heard live in the middle of a rowdy crowd on a hot Saturday night in some too-cramped club.
While they have always been known as more of a pop band, rather than a rock band, this time around on Biography of Heartbreak, This Century strips away any rock or punk sensibilities they once had and go straight for the Top 40 pop sound.
After releasing a few solid EP’s that teetered between emo and hardcore, Daylight have debuted their first LP Jar, defining their shamelessly 90’s alt-inspired sound.
The Wonder Years’ third full-length The Greatest Generation proves once and for all that the band’s significance goes far beyond their infectious sound and tattoo-ready lyrics. The third in a trilogy, the album is made up of thirteen of the strongest and most meaningful songs the band has ever written, cementing them as one of the most important acts of this decade.
Los Angeles rockers Stars in Stereo are making their debut this year with a self-titled album ridden with strong rock anthems.
With Shane Henderson and the Future Perfect, Henderson utilizes the greater creative control he has on the aptly named Control to explore his musical capabilities, replacing the punk in pop punk with singer-songwriter instead as he moves toward a lighter, more laid-back feel.
