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.
With a debut release that plays like the musical lovechild of Copeland, This Day And Age, and Daphne Loves Derby, Author are perfect for both the nostalgic older crowd and a new generation of listeners who missed out on those bands’ golden years.
It has been over three years since The All-American Rejects’ less-than-stellar release of When The World Comes Down, and they’ve finally offered fans a sign of redemption. An outstanding blend of traditional Rejects alternative style with a touch of experimental flair, Kids in the Street is bound to be a hit among new and old fans alike.
Nine years after No Pads, No Helmets…Just Balls went double-platinum, Canada’s Simple Plan is back with their fourth studio album. With Get Your Heart On!, the band embrace the spirit that ushered five kids from Montreal into worldwide fame nearly a decade ago.
Very often, the songwriter of a band will find himself writing songs and covering topics that do not fit in to the theme or feel of his current band’s sound.
Season 7, Episode 3. Discovering porn on the internet, broadcasting from Montreal. Music from Kanye West, The Streets, Steel Panther, and Weezer. Pat and Seb are getting ready for Christmas. Tom is working on the idobi App. Also, Tom my be occasionally lazy, but Patrick use to sleep with guys for free meals. True story.
New Politics ultimately sounds formulaic; it eventually lacks the initial pep that draws you into what this Danish band potentially has to offer. The songs are textbook from beginning to end; they are decent for what it’s worth, but there is no noticeable sheen in them. Many of the tracks, such as “Love is a Drug,†have their introductory moments of catchy beats or great bass lines, but that spark gradually fizzles.
The terms “raw” and “glam” are seldom used to describe the same band, but they suit New York’s queer-core Semi Precious Weapons quite well.
It was bold and aptly titled. And it established Go Radio as one of the giants of Fearless Records.
It certainly does not suck to be Four Year Strong right now.
