State Champs may be relative newcomers to the industry, but they’re already living up to their name as the soon-to-be champions of pop punk.
[imgfull] [/imgfull] There have been approximately 400 hours of Josh’s life logged into First Person, so he’s only 600 away from becoming a master. Of course, he’s already pretty damn good at bringing us new music like the songs from Friend, Emil & Friends, and Metric on this week’s playlist.
A symbol of overcoming changes and setbacks, With The Punches’ debut full-length establishes the band as one that will not succumb to the challenges they’re faced with but instead will conquer and grow from them.
I Call Fives’ self-titled is an essential add to any pop punk fan’s music library, building the buzz they’ve already established while attracting the attention of some new fans along the way.
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.
Independent and driven by the help of their fans, The Spill Canvas use their newfound freedom to explore their sound. Gestalt is a seamless record that hasn’t left a musical stone unturned.
[imgfull] [/imgfull] We’re not sure we have enough eyeliner on hand for the latest First Person. The emo show is queued up and ready to go with bands like Jawbreaker, Saves The Day, and Hot Rod Circuit.
With the release of their much-anticipated debut EP Navigate, Toronto newcomers Crystalyne have proven that they are a band to be on the lookout for. 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.
Emmure have a certain sound that they’ve developed over the years, and their latest album Slave to the Game fits perfectly into the mold they have created for themselves. Thick with video game references and infused with the members’ own personalities, the album is everything an Emmure fan would expect it to be.
