The range present in Man Overboard’s third full-length Heart Attack epitomizes the fluidity of the term “pop punk,†making the album a must-have for anyone that considers themselves a fan of the genre.
Matt Pond’s first official solo release The Lives Inside The Lines In Your Hands brings a lighthearted and soft-rock/alternative feel to the generally optimistic lyrics. The album is good overall, but the listener is left feeling unsatisfied with overly simple melodies and lackluster lyrics.

Books On Tape, being released via Take This To Your Heart Records, marks… Read more »

Moody Joody refuses to settle for just an “Avergae Joe” on their new track, which is slated to appear on their highly anticipated debut album Plain Jane, due out on October 30 via Photo Finish Records. Triumphant and utterly relatable, “Average Joe” is preceded by singles, including “Fantasyland,” “Loretta’s Last Call,” and “Little Blue House.” Co-lead vocalist Kaitie Forbes says, “‘Average Joe’ has become one of my favorite moments on the album.
