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.
For a band that only began creating music in late 2012 and played their very first live show in February 2013, MisterWives hold nothing back in their debut EP Reflections.
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.
The release of Wishful Thinking sees Neck Deep step up to the plate, proving that the band is ready to take their infectious sound from the UK pop punk scene to the world.
Although somewhat predictable, Imaginary Numbers is a highly impressive five-song effort that once again displays The Maine’s burgeoning maturity and musicianship.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Disillusion is one of the most versatile records of 2013. O’Brother blend a multitude of genres and experiment with creative instrumentals and arrangements to artfully execute their self-defining sophomore record.
