Album reviews, band announcements, and industry news!
I am a fan of Justin Pierre and Motion City Soundtrack. An Anthropologist on Mars is a familiar breath of fresh air to existing fans, and a more palatable and accessible version of MCS for listeners who are not fans yet.
Fat Mike and the guys could have spent 36 minutes telling us why we are all so stupid for not thinking the way they do. Instead, they turn the focus inward, offering an honest, if sometimes bleak glimpse into the mind of an infamous punk rock anti-hero.
Spraggan has a clever and effective way with words I haven’t heard from a singer-songwriter in some time, paired with rhythm and melody that is catchy, but doesn’t shove their own catchiness down your throat.
While OK Human carries with it musical textures that are relatively fresh and exciting for the band, it is still at its heart – for better or worse – a Weezer album.
The Dutch-symphonic metal outfit return with their eight full-length album, "Omega", and it is nothing short of breathtaking. From Alpha to Omega, from beginning to end so to speak, this is everything you would want from Epica.

After almost a whole year of no concerts for me, I was really hoping for a metal show but this one did it for me. I was missing that stage in my life and I just needed this day to happen for me.
Someone needs to tell Code Orange that art is supposed to reflect culture, not the other way around.
Embracing both her old self and her new self, Chisholm gives us an album that seeks balance between what has been, what is, and what is to come.
