The third time really is the charm for Tancred. ‘Out of the Garden’ is stocked full of indie-grunge guitar, tales of self-empowerment and introspection, and bittersweet vocals.
On their sophomore album ‘Bodacious’, Purple have stripped back their sound to get down to the nitty-gritty.
If you’re looking for socially conscious lyrics with a quirky pop punk sound, The Spook School are here to deliver just that. The small Scottish band have been spreading the word about fluid gender and sexuality since their start in 2012, which you can read more about here.
Maybe you never thought “alternative-folk†could be a genre you’d be interested in, but husband-and-wife duo, The Bergamot, are here to prove you wrong on their fourth album, Tones.
Manchester’s The 1975 aren’t known for common sounds, but on their latest release I like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it they take that to another level. Employing a myriad of genres should make for chaos, but their shared dreamy indie-electronic undertones give the album a united front. Maybe it’s a mess, but it’s a well done one.
Dissonant, by definition, means “clashing†or “inharmoniousâ€, but you won’t find any examples of dissonance on this third full-length from Hands Like Houses.
Toronto‘s Like Pacific is pissed off. On their first full length, the band finds solid ground to prove themselves. Distant Like You Asked is full of uptempo anthems, lyrical spite, and overall heart.
San Francisco’s Worth Taking are making run of the mill pop punk—with a little bit of an infectious beat and a whole lot of guitar riffs. While their sound might have been done before, the real focus of their new album Hangman is how each of the 12 songs correlate with the 12 step program.
Every so often, a band comes along with a familiar lyric or guitar riff that forces you to make a comparison to another band you love.
The man who swore “to shake it up†is at it again, and in record time. When we received the news that Spencer was leaving due to personal concerns and Dallon would no longer be a creative component of the band it was disheartening to say the least, but Brendon Urie is back to let you know that he’s still up for a celebration.
