Conditions push undeniably forward with Full Of War, providing both a fully energetic and more melodic sound as well as the contemplative lyrics that fans have come to expect.
For their second studio album Floral Green, Title Fight stuck to what they do best – doing whatever they very well please. Produced by Will Yip (Citizen, None More Black), the album is pristine yet raw and shows an originality many bands today lack.
I Call Fives’ self-titled is an essential add to any pop punk fan’s music library, building the buzz they’ve already established while attracting the attention of some new fans along the way.
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.

Celebrating their twentieth anniversary this year, Gainesville, Florida-based fathers of ska Less Than Jake have done it again. Over the past two decades, Less Than Jake have stood above the rest with unique vocals, instrumentations, and the ability to make a crowd dance, and they show no signs of slowing down with their latest EP, Seasons Greetings From Less Than Jake.
Who’s ready for a little shazam in their life? Mix in a little 1980’s head banging and theatrical vocals and you get the one and only Foxy Shazam and their new album The Church of Rock and Roll.
All Time Low’s latest effort, Dirty Work comes out June 7 on Interscope/Hopeless Records.
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.
Think about if someone approached you in a record store asking for something that blends the unique vocal sound of Hit the Lights, the emo power of The Early November and the homegrown pop-punk sound that The Starting Line have perfected. If that person were savvy enough they would hand you a copy of Think Fast from Just Left, the band’s second album and debut for Victory imprint Standby Records.
