Album Review: Nick Santino – Big Skies
If you were as heartbroken as the rest of us when A Rocket To The Moon called it quits last year, you might be hoping vocalist Nick Santino’s new solo direction will fill the gap.

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.
Long Island has always bred an iconic emo-punk sound, and Sainthood Reps continue to carry the torch of their contemporaries with their second full-length, Headswell.
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.
The Things We Think We’re Missing is a record that boasts true confidence from Balance & Composure. While 2011’s Separation tested the waters of their sound, this release is a cohesive piece that has been crafted with careful thought and execution.
With Absent Light, Misery Signals are doing exactly what they know best: staying true to their heavy sound and delivering their most polished and refined record to date.
On their appropriately titled debut LP, Youth, Citizen unsurprisingly addresses coming-of-age angst – typical fodder for most young, earnest pop punk bands – yet somehow they accomplish it without sounding stale or cliche.
With Feel, Sleeping With Sirens achieve every band’s goal: releasing a new album that offers something fresh while still retaining the sound their fans fell in love with. Whether your preference is angst-driven metal or poignant pop, this album is sure to leave you feeling something.
Liferuiner have decided to abandon their ties with old tracks like “A Ticket To The Pussy Crusher†and are trying to write honest, optimistic, and influential songs using key ingredients of melodic metalcore and straightedge hardcore: detuned guitars, predictable breakdowns, and lyrics pertaining to life’s inevitable struggles, hardships, and misery.
After releasing a few solid EP’s that teetered between emo and hardcore, Daylight have debuted their first LP Jar, defining their shamelessly 90’s alt-inspired sound.
