By bringing back a haunted sound that’s far older than any member of the Minnesota band, American Youth have carved their own niche in what is an incredibly overpopulated music scene.
Varying backgrounds, musical influences, and openness to mixing genres is what makes Diamond Youth really stand out, and the risks they take on their newest EP Shake pay off.
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.
Echosmith are young in every sense of the word, but don’t let their age mislead you – Echosmith pack one hell of a punch with their unique blend of pop-rock.
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.
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.
Whether listeners vibe with the turn that A Rocket To The Moon have taken towards a pop impression on light country or prefer their youthful musings without a side of the South, the old sweetness of the band still sits evident just below the surface.
Unexpected, but not out of the ordinary for The Flaming Lips.
