Album: Um EP
Genre: Pop, Rock, New Wave
For fans of: High Highs, Radio Dept., Real Estate

As a music journalist, one of the greatest feelings there is, is being pleasantly surprised by an artist you’ve never listened to before. For many of us that have experienced the sounds of countless bands and solo musicians, we can fall into this rut of assuming that if we’re not familiar with a name that it’s likely something we won’t enjoy. However, there are always diamonds in the rough to shine through and surprise you. While Johan RodriguesUm

STREAM/DOWNLOAD: Automatic Habit – “Merry Christmas, Don’t Come Home”

File this one under another modern Christmas release that I enjoy more than the classics. “Merry Christmas, Don’t Come Home” has the punk rock sound the title shouts for, and has the stylized lead guitar work that most pop/punk is dearly lacking. The band, Automatic Habit, have released the song for free download on their Bandcamp page.

Singer Johnny Costa said “We just got tired of hearing the same overjoyed Christmas song every year and figured we’d lend a dose of reality. The world needs more bitter Christmas songs. Christmas is bitter.” Their previous songs, “Play It …

DOWNLOAD: Dead Sara – “Snow In Los Angeles”

Put another Christmas release on the list, this time from up-and-coming rockers Dead Sara. Their new song, “Snow in Los Angeles”, marks the first new studio material since their debut album came out back in April. The song is pretty killer, too, as far as modern Christmas rock/soul songs go.

Dead Sara will also be opening for Muse on some tour dates in the new year, and has previously told Rolling Stone they plan to do their own headlining tour after the Muse tour ends. For the tour dates with Muse and to get the free download, click “Read …

EXCLUSIVE STREAM/DOWNLOAD: Envoi – “Ghost (acoustic)”

Several weeks ago, Absolutepunk.net introduced you to the completely revamped Envoi, a female fronted powerhouse that has been pushing its way into the public eye, causing plenty of blog buzz as it goes.

“We’re all pretty experienced but at the same time unproven,” says singer Maddie Finn who fronted an eponymous project up to joining Envoi after the departure of their former vocalist. She’s not the only one with experience. Bassist Mat Colwell once held the position of bassist in Cleveland Pop-Punk favorites Call It Fiction while several other members formally took post in various metal-core bands in the …

Pentimento Release Self-Titled Album For Free; Explain Issues With Physical Release

We have been hyping the release of Pentimento’s self-titled album for some time, but like you we were very perplexed by the lack of pre-orders and normal promotional activities. Turns out, the New York rock act wanted to take a more natural release route, but issues with their former label Panic Records caused everything announced back in September to fall apart in the weeks leading up to this point. In an attempt to combat the situation without letting fans down Pentimento have released their album for free through their official website. Those interested in picking up a copy can do …
