They might be from a pretty chilly part of the world, but Vancouver-based band Hedley are bringing the message we’ve all been waiting for: summer is coming.
The Deep End feels like an amalgamation of every current trend in pop and electronic music, but while the album is no doubt entertaining, it leaves you unsure of Itch’s intentions.
Panic! At The Disco have undergone drastic changes with every album, resulting in a distinctively different sound on each album – some will enjoy the change and musical exploration, others will frown upon yet another departure from the band’s roots.
With Challenges, Farewell Fighter have easily picked up where they left off with their last EP and set out to make a better, stronger, and more complete set of tracks – which they have undoubtedly accomplished.
While they have always been known as more of a pop band, rather than a rock band, this time around on Biography of Heartbreak, This Century strips away any rock or punk sensibilities they once had and go straight for the Top 40 pop sound.
Blink-182 have proven through their latest EP that, while they may not be as angsty or unruly as they were a decade ago, they are still the same musicians, simply growing up and moving forward with their sound.
Lost in a never-ending cacophony of American-inspired guitar squeals, hammering drum beats, and amped-up vocals, the third release from the Swedish-based Her Bright Skies is an angsty young adult power piece whose volume is fit for an arena but whose calamitous structure and predictable composition should be left in the garage.
Longtime Lostprophets fans won’t be disappointed by their latest effort – it takes the best elements of the rest of their discography and combines them into one. Drawing influences from metal, punk, pop, and rock, there’s something on this album for everyone.
Neon Trees’ sophomore album Picture Show serves up a slice of the ’80s with smooth synth-pop sound accenting its foundation of rock’n’roll.
Fresh from Rise Records, Sharks’ highly anticipated debut full length No Gods delivers a genuine portrayal of punk rock from across the pond.
