Portland, Oregon’s All Season will remind you why you first fell in love with pop-punk.
Australian post-hardcore band The Vestige are just celebrating the release of their debut EP, Chronoscale, which was released on September 24th, 2017. Although short, the five songs on Chronoscale pack an emotional punch and will leave you feeling as if you’ve just listened to a full-length record by the time the unique closing track comes to an end.
London’s MassMatiks describe themselves as in your face indie music, but they’d rather not be burdened by one specific sound or genre, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. The band’s most recent single, “Meat” is high energy, hip-hop tinged rock while the aggressive “Blank Wall” is a snarky punk anthem, and “4AM” finds them embracing a more emotional side of their sound.
It’s somewhat hard to keep things simple when it comes to The Wise Man’s Fear. The Indianapolis sextet dubs themselves fantasycore and it’s a fitting title, especially considering the concept of their latest record, The Lost City which follows the journey of Cairne, the runaway son of a King who desperately seeks to start a new life away from his upbringing. The Lost City ties in with the band’s theatrical 2015 release, Castle In The Clouds, and both albums are honestly worthy of a comic book or graphic novel adaptation.
West Virginia’s Riviera are keeping pop-punk alive with their timeless sound that can only be described as the perfect mix between bands like A Loss For Words, With The Punches and Anberlin.
Virginia post-hardcore quartet pulses. will remind you exactly why you fell in love with bands like Dance Gavin Dance and The Fall Of Troy all while keeping things fresh and unpredictable. The band effortlessly blends wild guitar riffs with multiple vocal styles and a witty sense of humor to create a unique sound that’ll keep you on your toes.
Tonica is a self described “neon-noir” electro pop duo from Manchester. By drawing inspiration from 80’s films and music along with modern pop such as The Weeknd and Banks, Tonica have tapped into something great.
The Strike is a six piece pop/funk/rock band from Provo, Utah that seamlessly blends elements of modern synth-pop with a retro 80’s groove to create something that feels trapped in time.
No matter how much you write about a band or try to pitch them to your readers, friends or journalists, there are always going to be people who don’t want to read the words and just want to hear the music speak for itself. These people don’t care what someone else has to say about an artist or why you think they’re the next big thing. These people are like me, and this is for them.
