After releasing several EP’s over the years, Brighten returns to their roots of acoustic guitars and honest, passionate songwriting on their new record Peace and Quiet.

Indie rock has been growing exponentially popular in the mainstream, and newcomers Atlas Genius are sure to make their mark in the scene with When It Was Now. With smooth vocals, lush synths, and vivid guitars, this album is perfect for long drives or relaxing with your friends.

This past December witnessed more than snow and sleighs when We the Kings re-emerged with Smile Kid.
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.
