I’m excited to announce that one of the finest and mostly unheard pop-punk bands of our time – Light The Way, will release their smashing new album titled “False Memory Syndrome” worldwide digitally AND on CD March 30th through Indie Vision Music. The album is full of passionate, melodic anthems sure to win over even the most skeptical tough guy music fan. The band mixes a perfect balance of high energy aggression and unforgettable melodies. The band continues what was started on the two eps from 2017 and turns it way up bringing you quality music and even better production.… Continued →

UntilWeDie! came to my attention in 2017 when I heard “It Is Well” on a punk compilation. Horatio Spafford might turn over in his grave with the UntilWeDie! version of this famous hymn, but it won’t scare anyone else. The lyrics are straight on, the pace frenetic, and the intentions are serious. It’s glorious. That song put the band on my “I want more list”. Last week I received an advance copy of their about to be released self-titled. The band’s sound is undefinable. Unquestionably rock, but it’s got a definite punk vibe.… Continued →

A little known independent band by the name of Blood and Water from Nor Cal splashed onto the scene towards the end of the last decade with a few indie releases (one of which can be found here) before signing with upstart new label Eden Records and releasing their label debut “In Character” in 2010. This critically acclaimed and fan adored full length has come to be accepted as one of the finer independent releases of the past decade. It’s incredible how much connects people and this band did just that.… Continued →

This smashing new hit release will please fans of all those great melodic fast paced punk bands of the past while staying true to themselves and keeping it current.

For Fans of: Pennywise, Descendents, Millencolin, and old Offspring.… Continued →

PAX217 was a favorite of mine years ago. Last year, they played with The O.C. Supertones at their last show and had it recorded for a live album. Today, PAX217 has been kind enough to make this album available FREE!

Make sure you guys jump on this, it’s sure to be great. See the bands Facebook post below.… Continued →

While VEAUX‘s first single really isn’t a new song (it’s their last song released under the Medic moniker), this time it’s accompanied by a video. Ultimately, it’s just another great opportunity for readers to get acquainted with this energetic indie pop trio that surely has a bright future ahead. … Continued →

Over the Ocean‘s last release is almost five years behind us now. “Be Given to the Soil” was a heavy blend of post-rock and post-hardcore paired with gritty baritone vocals. Think if John Mark McMillan sang for My Epic. It’s always refreshing when a band takes an unconventional route in conveying faith-based topics in an nontraditional context – and that’s certainly something these men do well. Thankfully they’re back and working on brand new music. Be sure to follow them on social media for more updates and check out a track from their last album below to get a good taste of what they offer.… Continued →

Punk rock and pizza are similar in more ways than one. While the two can complement each other quite well, music – like food – requires a recipe. Unfortunately, Young Poet’s Thrive in a Modern Era tastes more like a dubious experiment than a well-made pizza pie. Opening song “Alizaren,” catches me completely by surprise with the spoken word akin to Being As An Ocean or Listener. I thought this was pop punk? Once “Better Hearts” comes on, I find out that it is … at least, for the most part, in retrospect.… Continued →

The Sprinkle brothers are back! If you don’t know who that is, then stop reading. Go and find Poor Old Lu, The World Inside, Aaron Sprinkle, Paloma, Fair . . . I could go on but I’m using up valuable reviewing space (and I didn’t even mention the production credits)! Considering who is involved in this project, you might think you already know what it’s going to sound like. And sure, you might be in the right ballpark—alternative/indie rock with a capital Rock. But you haven’t heard this.… Continued →

Nashville, TN is known for a number of things, but the thing that tops the list is music. If you were to walk down Broadway, each restaurant and bar you pass has live music going on, all of it diverse. It’s on street corners as buskers play their hearts out for little more than the love of the music and the heart to share it with others. One band that stands out in the middle of all of this is Samecity. Samecity is a pop rock outfit that formed in 2014 and draw influences from a variety of sources, some of which include Needtobreathe, Switchfoot, and The Civil Wars.… Continued →

The Oh Hellos have wasted no time releasing a strong follow-up to "Notos", this time opting for a festive, autumnal mood.

It feels like it’s been a while since we last heard from Nine Lashes, and though the last album was a strong departure from the band’s previous hard rock albums, this one sounds like they may have gotten back to their sound. Check out the lyric video for “Breaking Out” below. What do you think?… Continued →

If you guessed by the band name that you were about to hear some grindcore, you’d be right.  However, what you might not expect from this Brazilian band is the type of grindcore they play (yes, there are multiple subgenres, but let’s not get into that)!  While the trademark elements are there—incredibly fast riffs, blastbeats, extremely short songs—the longest song is just one minute, 12 seconds and it’s the only song over a minute.  In fact, the whole album of 16 songs clocks in at just over 6 minutes!—yet… Continued →
