The band mostly known for a cover of Lil Wayne’s “Lollipop†has released its sophomore album, and unfortunately the original tunes fall a little short.
It was bold and aptly titled. And it established Go Radio as one of the giants of Fearless Records.
Living Like Ghosts has made a big but potentially necessary move in its hunt for rock stardom: the jettisoning of two members, including a third guitarist, from its lineup. It would be hard for any band to justify a six-string attack, and the now four-piece group from Detroit is free to roam the country in a much roomier tour van and spread its shiny pop rock tunes to audiences near and far.
Anyone looking for a departure from the electronic and dance inspired music that seems to be all the rage these days should be sure to check out The Last Tibetan Midnight, the latest release from psychedelic rock group The Greening.
It certainly does not suck to be Four Year Strong right now.
Taking a page out of the book of pop-punk veterans such as Saves the Day and fellow Philadelphia natives The Starting Line, The Wonder Years released its second full-length album aptly titled The Upsides January 26 through No Sleep Records.
This past December witnessed more than snow and sleighs when We the Kings re-emerged with Smile Kid.
Get out your flat iron, your headband and your neon t-shirt, it’s time to party — Texas power-pop style.
Think about if someone approached you in a record store asking for something that blends the unique vocal sound of Hit the Lights, the emo power of The Early November and the homegrown pop-punk sound that The Starting Line have perfected. If that person were savvy enough they would hand you a copy of Think Fast from Just Left, the band’s second album and debut for Victory imprint Standby Records.
“You made your point when you said we fell apart / I had my words all chosen carefully / I broke your heart so gracefully†are merely a sampling of the lyrics that not so subtly transmit the angry barbs that populate Every You’s debut EP, A Change of Scene.
