Beauty is a fleeting thing

REVIEW : Not One is Upright - Beauty is a Fleeting Thing

By in Reviews | Comments closed

While at first, Not One is Upright seemed like nothing more than a conglomerate of Norma Jean and The Chariot that would momentarily satisfy my chaotic hardcore needs, after a few listens the band's personality really shines through with some of the finest, most passionate hardcore music I have heard this year. Not One Is Upright is a band that is on my list of ones to watch, and they should be on yours too.

REVIEW : As I Lay Dying - Awakened

By in Reviews | Comments closed

Southern California's metalcore titans are back to release their first full length since since their ten year anniversary.The question is, "Does this release reflect the skill and sound of a band that has lasted a decade?". Well the answer is yes… and no. "Awakened", the band's fifth full length album takes steps forward in some areas, while also backtracking to some extent in others.

REVIEW : Sobre Todo Nombre - AbbaFather

By in Reviews | Comments closed

Sobre Todo Nombre are a band that certainly have talent and a bright future ahead of them if they are willing to make some minor improvements and their Come&Live! debut, AbbaFather showcases that. Yet, what AbbaFather does more than show talent from this group of guys is show their heart for Jesus.

REVIEW : Your Memorial - Redirect

By in Reviews | Comments closed

Your Memorial have been making a name with themselves on the road this year and are sure to make a name for themselves with this solid effort. While still not perfect, Redirect finds the band branching out and taking their place as of the the heavyweights on the Facedown roster.

REVIEW : Atombender - Wait of the World

By in Reviews | Comments closed

Do you like pop punk? How about tons of dancy and fun synthesizers? How do you feel about of lots horns? Well, what if I told you there was a band who offered all of that in one, interesting and unique package.
