The Los Angeles-based five-piece have put out a seven song EP that defies all expectations for a band that only formed a year ago.
Packed with colossal hooks and melodies, State Champs’ debut album The Finer Things stands out as one of the best pop punk releases this year and raises the bar sky high for the genre.
The Things We Think We’re Missing is a record that boasts true confidence from Balance & Composure. While 2011’s Separation tested the waters of their sound, this release is a cohesive piece that has been crafted with careful thought and execution.
On The Other Side, Tonight Alive display a newfound maturity and confidence accumulated over the past two years. These twelve tracks of passionate, driven pop rock are guaranteed to launch the band onto an entirely new level of success.
Culprit has poured effort and honesty into their latest EP Totem, proving their talent musically on every track.
Adding fuel to the blend-rock-and-roll-with-pop-music fire, the Virginia quartet otherwise known as Parachute dive head first into the fight for a hit pop song with their latest record, Overnight.
Disillusion is one of the most versatile records of 2013. O’Brother blend a multitude of genres and experiment with creative instrumentals and arrangements to artfully execute their self-defining sophomore record.
With ten songs packed with heart and aggression, the band strays from the laidback pop of their previous albums in favor of a more heavy-yet-melodic sound to get the message across on Golden Record.
With Bangs, the two-man team behind Brick+Mortar has managed to make untraditional music that will still appeal to traditional ears.
We Came As Romans’ new album Tracing Back Roots contains a lot of what their previous fans loved as well as a few surprises thrown in. While the album feels a bit stale at points, altogether it proves to be cohesive, uplifting, and appealing.
