So Cal melodic punk rock band, Heart Like War, have dropped their brand new 5 song ep “Start Over” which features a whole new lineup and enhanced sound. If you enjoyed their music in the past you’re going to be blown away by the new stuff. The band takes their catchy pop-punk and melodic punk to a whole new level mixing in perfectly placed harmonies, hard charging guitar parts, sing-a-long vocals and a certain rough around the edges take that keeps the punk rock alive and well. “Start Over” takes on a whole new meaning as the band introduces a heavy dose of mental health awareness through songs built on a foundation of hope with a message that you’re never alone and never too far gone to get help. There is an answer to your pain, your struggles, and peace for the journey through this life. This important message needs to resonate with a global audience and especially among Christians who are too ashamed, too embarrassed, and too proud to admit when they need help for very real human afflictions like mental illness. So take a ride on the punk rock train and ready yourself for a message that needs to be heard. You can find “Start Over” on all digital networks.
This new band deserves a proper introduction. They are called “The Upside” and they play a furious blend of pop-punk, alternative rock, and even a bit of easy-core for a unique sound all their own. The band just released their first song today titled “New World” which you can listen to below. I’ve heard 3 of the new songs from their upcoming ep due out this fall and let me tell you, you’re in for a real treat. Punk rock meets ministry meets rock n’ roll. [Website]
Grandpa Loves Rhinos will release their new ep this fall digitally through Indie Vision Music.

Paul and Seth Hyde create some of the most catchy, ear pleasing music around while also holding down the fort in their respective jobs in the military. Continued →
Get ready for a pop-punk explosion of positive vibes and a focus on mental health. It’s probably something that hasn’t been discussed at least in our scene anyway, in a long time. Dive into some super catchy and melodic punk rock that’ll bring a smile to any cynic’s face and help pick you up off the ground. The Heart Like War “Start Over” ep will be available through all digital networks and make sure to support the new lineup at a show near you. Oh and all of our friends in Japan will be super stoked to learn that Heart Like War will be making a stop in your country this November!
We all know how fond IVM is of pop-punk, so it’s my pleasure to introduce you to yet another fine pop-punk/alt-rock band: My Heart Lies.

MxPx have finally unveiled the first new song from their upcoming new 10th studio album, “MxPx”. This beautifully filmed music video and extremely catchy new song can be heard below. Mid-Life punk rock takes on new meaning and brings to the forefront all those fresh memories from years ago that were bubbling just beneath the surface. The nostalgia runs deep in this song and video and I think us as fans couldn’t have asked for a better first single. “Let’s Ride” is not only the perfect introduction to a band who have had so many trials during their run but also a reintroduction to a band you might have gave up on after their first decade. Seriously, check this out and run through the past with your arms wide open. Let’s ride.
Indie Vision Music is proud to present the brand new song from Heart Like War titled “Screaming”. The song appears off the band’s upcoming Ep “Start Over” which will release in July. Check out the song below.

That’s right friends, the much loved and critically adored long running legends of a band – MxPx, are back and with a new album. They are here to prove that 26 years later it isn’t the end but rather a step in the next phase of this band’s legendary career. It’s hard to believe that seeing them in some sweaty Church basement here in Orange County, CA. back in 1995 with all of us (band included) being youths, that their music would endure through the years attracting new fans each step of the way. For a 3 piece punk rawk band, that has to be a something they are proud of and all of us fans should commend them for. I know people grow up, beliefs change (for some), life situations alter, and other things in life can take a crazy spin, but when you have consistently solid music for 26 years you can’t help but sit back and be mesmerized by it all. I have always been a fan of this band because I appreciate positive music and because their sound has always remained a constant. They are a fitting reminder that you don’t have to go all prog-rock or super indie to be accepted by fans and peers. They are just themselves and that’s great for all of us. Anyway, the band has announced a kickstarter campaign to fund their new album. Watch the video below and contribute right here.
Check out this fun little lyric video that the guys in Light The Way put together for their new song “But Mom Says I’m Cool”. Video below. “False Memory Syndrome” now available worldwide and on CD from Indie Vision Music. Oh and the band is now on Instagram: @lightthewayca
