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.
At the end of the day, all that needs to be said about the eleven magnificent songs on this collection is that they’re a collection of fun, addictive, and enticing pop that sounds like sunshine and good memories.
With Dan Rose (Daybreaker) and Kevin Geyer (The Story So Far) at the helm, Heavy Head is an enormously impressive debut album of smart, catchy indie rock.
Better Off’s nostalgic emo punk effort is a remarkable display of skill and maturity that you wouldn’t usually expect on a debut album.
Buffalo, NY’s Pentimento have become a staple of the modern scene for their hard work, determination, and sincere punk rock ethos.
Seaway’s debut album Hoser combines the best elements of pop punk, including earnest vocals and bright, catchy riffs, while still displaying enough diversity to hold its own.
Packed with colossal hooks and melodies, State Champs’ debut album The Finer Things stands out as one of the best pop punk releases this year and raises the bar sky high for the genre.
With Anonymous, Stray From The Path have added a compelling and captivating record to their ever-expanding body of work. Despite its moments of uniformity, the album situates the band in a category all their own.
Into It. Over It.’s sophomore album Intersections still contains his signature vivid guitars and genius lyricism, but ditches the more straightforward pop melodies for something rawer yet more complex. Evan Weiss returns to the roots of Into It. Over It.’s original recordings while also exploring new directions in his music, achieving two goals where artists normally strive for one.
On The Other Side, Tonight Alive display a newfound maturity and confidence accumulated over the past two years. These twelve tracks of passionate, driven pop rock are guaranteed to launch the band onto an entirely new level of success.
