Relying heavily on Four Year Strong to set an easycore revival in motion, fans get exactly what they have been craving with the band’s latest self-titled release. From start to finish, the album will be blasting through your speakers all summer long.
The older I get the more I understand the criticism of Disney’s depiction of social and political topics like gender, race, and government…
Twenty One Pilots Debuted At Number One And My Heart Is Soaring Last week Twenty One Pilots released their second full-length album, Blurryface, which I have not stopped listening to, and they also became the second band from our scene this year to have a number one album (debuting as number one on Billboard). It’s hard to find two dudes more deserving of that honor than Tyler and Josh, who when they found out, took to the internet to completely dedicate their success to their fans and their skeletonclique. As someone who grew up in Ohio, I couldn’t be more… Read more »
State Champs will headline a tour in Europe this fall, with support from Knuckle Puck and Roam. The tour kicks off September 15th in Belfast, UK and runs through early October.

Absolutely see this movie in the theater; it is a spectacle to behold on the big screen.
Man Overboard have announced their fourth upcoming full-length album ‘Heavy Love’. The album is due out June 30th with Rise Records.
Excuse the Emo Revival, But Acceptance Released a New Song If you’re a newby in this scene, the name Acceptance might not ring too many bells for you.

This week’s edition of (Un)covered shakes things up with a gritty, destructive version of Pharrell’s hit “Happy,” covered by UK blues rock duo Royal Blood.
TheBillboardChart Needs a Streaming Makeover With All Time Low’s number one album debut debunked by the new Billboard standard, many people in our scene posed the question if we need to rethink the way Billboard included streaming into it’s tallies. Right now, every 1,500 streams of a song off an album = 1 album sale. Thomas Nassiff of Absolutepunk wrote a wonderful short piece on the matter. In my opinion, it’s crap. A successful single does not an album make. If that were true, Vanilla Ice would have probably been much more successful and have never gotten arrested for stealing.… Read more »
