For fans of the Pompano-based emo act Further Seems Forever, the wait is finally over! The 11-track Penny Black is a mature conglomerate of upbeat, heartwarming, and sometimes dark songs.
Bad Books’ appropriately-named II is a collection of songs with great variety yet a common, wistful edge which ultimately creates a cohesive and earnest album. The ten tracks share a lulling musicality which allows the listener to lose themselves in the layers of tender vocals and smooth instrumentation.
The first challenge of properly absorbing Benjamin Gibbard’s first solo album Former Lives: separating the Death Cab For Cutie and Postal Service versions of Gibbard from the solo one. The new album is more gritty and acoustic than his former beloved gentle indie catalogue, true, but Former Lives needs to be experienced in its own right without any shackles of the past.
Lyor Cohen, the chief executive of Warner Music Group Corp.’s recorded music division, is resigning at the end of September.
Pierce The Veil have announced a headlining tour across North America with support from Sleeping With Sirens, Tonight Alive, and Hands Like Houses.
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.
Circa Survive will be headlining the Violent Waves tour this fall. Support for the tour will come from Touche Amore, Balance and Composure, and O’Brother.

Having just wrapped up a three month tour visiting over sixty high schools in Canada in support of the release, they’re showing no signs of slowing down, ready to capture audiences everywhere with their pop rock sound.
Jason Mraz’s latest effort is another wonderful addition to his discography, perfect for those cloudless summer days when nothing can go wrong.
