Disclaimer: Whenever, If Ever is a love/hate record. If you “get it,†you will be completely floored by its use of vast atmospheric textures and timbres, as well as its nostalgia factor. If you don’t, it will be a whiny, fragmented, enigmatic record that will be a struggle to listen to.
After the success of their debut full-length last year, Misser have established themselves as an important component of the rising indie pop punk scene.

From the Bird’s Cage contains a unique ten songs that highlight HRVRD’s unpredictable and progressive sound. The album contains an array of brilliant pads, textures, and ambience that give the tracks a reflective and even ghostly, haunting vibe.
Silverstein make a triumphant return in 2013 with a release that not only reflects their roots, but also explores new complexities not heard on prior releases. This Is How the Wind Shifts is arguably Silverstein’s most ambitious, mature, and progressive album to date.

With their self-titled EP, Sparks The Rescue have taken everything that was great about their last album – the catchy lyrics, the progressiveness of their sound, that “get up and dance†attitude – and fused it with their old school style to create an unforgettable seven-track compilation sure to get you off your feet with their first independent release since parting ways with Fearless Records.
The Front Bottoms’ self-titled debut full length is unlike anything that has ever been heard before – in the best way possible. It’s what happens when Mountain Goats-like vocals meet punk and pop influences in the form of a quirky duo and it is pure unintentional brilliance.

Infuse the buoyant Beach Boys beats with Nirvana’s classic dreary guitar tone and you wind up with Since Monroe. A self-proclaimed grunge band with surf rock tendencies, their music will take you on a trip back in time to an era where “Monkey Wrench†was on the Billboard charts and you were frontside boardsliding your way through Tony Hawk Pro-Skater.
