Since disbanding A Rocket To The Moon last year, Nick Santino has been one busy guy.
2014 was a wonderful year for music, but it was also a wonderful year for forgetting that it was 2014. With so many of this year’s releases wearing their nostalgia for musical eras past on their sleeves, it seemed easier than ever to pick up a record that immediately whisked you back to the decade of your choosing despite being less than twelve months old.
Christmas is around the corner! This week we’ve got the timeless classic “Santa Baby†by Eartha Kitt, covered by the Christmas king Michael Buble, plus a cool and creepy but not as festive version from VersaEmerge, who currently go by VERSA.
When you’re trapped in the hellish nightmare of a busy mall in December, it’s not unusual for the tinny sound of Christmas music to make you wish you would get trampled to death by a thousand frantic shoppers just to put an end to your suffering. Thankfully, hearing your favorite bands cover the same songs has the opposite effect.
Grab a blanket, a mug filled with a warm beverage, and find a quiet place. You won’t want a single distraction from the four songs of Front Porch Step’s intoxicating EP, Whole Again.
This year has been a roller coaster for the guys of Man Overboard, but great pain inspires great music, and Passing Ends is the perfect representation of that.
Nonpoint are back and out for blood, with a sound that’s more ferocious than ever. If they once paled in comparison to their counterparts, those days are long gone, and the proof comes in the form of their latest and greatest effort, The Return.
The Goo Goo Dolls dominated the 90s with their timeless single “Iris”. This week, Sleeping With Sirens provide a softer, lullaby rendition that nearly rivals the original.
Even if you’re convinced that a band changing their sound is the worst thing that’s ever happened to you, it’s perfectly natural for someone’s music to develop and shift from album to album. But every once in a while, those shifts are so dramatic that the early work ends up sounding like it was released by an entirely different band than the more recent material.
New project from Good Charlotte’s Joel and Benji Madden, The Madden Brothers, proves yet again they’re brilliant songwriters who know just how to hook us in, whether the genre’s pop, folk, acoustic, or anything in between.
