REVIEW + STREAM: Kill Lincoln – That’s Cool…In A Totally Negative and Destructive Way

June 5th, 2013 Tyler Osborne

Band: Kill LIncoln
Album:  That’s Cool…in a Totally Negative and Destructive Way
Label: Jump Start Records
Genre: Ska/Pop-Punk

Ska is such a dirty word these days. Asking a friend if they want to go see a ska band is basically opening a door to statements such as “you still like ska??” Yes, ska became a very weird genre, really fast. A lot of bands were doing it really well, and then even more bands were doing it very poorly.  Other than the household names of Reel Big Fish and Streetlight Manifesto, ska and ska-punk bands have been relatively dormant …

REVIEW: I Can See Mountains – Life on a Houseboat

June 4th, 2013 Tyler Osborne

Band: I Can See Mountains
Album: Life on a Houseboat
Label: Panic Records
Genre: Indie/Pop-Punk

What is there in Buffalo, New York? The Buffalo Sabres? My mom would argue “a whole lot of sadness and grey skies.” She’s probably right because she is indeed right about most things, but if you were to ask me I’d probably mention the budding punk and indie scene. Buffalo produced one of my favorite records of 2012, Pentimento’s self-titled debut, and in 2013 the birth place of my wonderful father gave me another release to get excited about: I Can See Mountains’ Life on …

Face To Face 2013

MUSIC VIDEO: Face to Face – “Right as Rain”

May 31st, 2013 Tyler Osborne

Legendary LA punks Face to Face released their new music video today for their song “Right as Rain,” today. While the video is nothing to write home about, it’s simplicity perfectly mirrors the band’s style. Face to Face is no stranger to creating really catchy punk music, and today we get to see that they are still capable of doing so.

Face to Face recently released their latest full-length album, Three Chords and a Half Truth, which was put out through Antagonist Records and Rise Records.

You can check out the video after the break.

REVIEW: Misser – Distancing

May 28th, 2013 Tyler Osborne

Band: Misser
Album: Distancing
Genre: Punk/Emo
Label: Rise Records

Misser, the brain child of Transit’s Tim Landers and Ex-This Time Next Year’s Brad Wiseman, has consistently put out really awesome releases. Starting as a side project in 2011, Misser has quickly put out two releases that established themselves as a band, not just two dudes throwing b-sides together from their full-time projects.  Every Day I Tell Myself to Be a Better Person was one of my favorite releases of 2012, so I had high hopes that Misser would put out short collection of songs with Distancing that I …

Nightmares For A Week

REVIEW: Nightmares For A Week – Civilian War

May 28th, 2013 Adrian Garza

Artist: Nightmares For A Week
Album: Civilian War
Genre: Rock / Punk
Label: Broken English / Suburban Home

Sure New York’s Nightmares For A Week took a good 3+ years before releasing their sophomore LP, Civilian War, but the time and effort are pridefully shown throughout the album’s raucous ten tracks. For those not acquainted with NFAW, there are two things you need to know immediately: One, they are not as heavy as their misleading name depicts them to be, and two, the group did indeed name themselves after a Jawbreaker lyric, which is pretty punk if you ask …

REVIEW: Captain, We’re Sinking – The Future is Cancelled

May 27th, 2013 James Shotwell

Artist: Captain, We’re Sinking
Album: The Future is Cancelled
Genre: Punk
Label: Run For Cover

They’re not particularly outspoken about their principles, but if we trace the progress of Captain, We’re Sinking we find a band that has grown whilst making few compromises along the way. The recording is cleaner and the arrangements are stronger, but The Future is Cancelled is brimming with their trademarks of lengthy, drunken tales of desperate characters; almost story-songs but a bit more down to earth.

STREAM: Vice – “Since Birth”

May 21st, 2013 Tyler Osborne

Staten Island hardcore band Vice released their new song “Since Birth” yesterday, and let me tell you it’s rad. It’s fast, heavy, and it’s begging for you to get really stupid in some sleazy punk basement. “Since Birth” is the first song to be released off of Vice’s newest EP, Flawed, which comes out in August on Eulogy Recordings.

Vice is also going on tour this June, hitting up a bunch of Midwest and East Coast states. Having seen their live set, it’s not something to be missed.

You can check out “Since Birth” after the break, as …

Blink-182 Announce Efforts To Benefit Victims Of Oklahoma Tornado

May 21st, 2013 James Shotwell

Pop punk pioneers Blink-182 have announced plans to launch efforts to benefit the victims of the recent tornadoes in Oklahoma.

Taking to their Facebook today, the members of Blink-182 wrote a passionate letter to friends and fans about their feelings towards the events that occurred earlier this week. We want the full impact of the members’ words to come across, so instead of paraphrasing we’re just going to post their message in full. The band writes:

“As we watch the news again this morning from Oklahoma our hearts as we are sure yours are as well are just broken for …

REVIEW: Have Mercy – The Earth Pushed Back

May 21st, 2013 Tyler Osborne

Band: Have Mercy
Album: The Earth Pushed Back
Genre: Alternative
Label: Topshelf Records

There haven’t been a ton of records I’ve been really excited about this year thus far. I’ve given some high marks in terms of “scoring,” and I think that is partially because there has been a lot of pretty mediocre records coming out of the scene these days, and I’ve lost sight of what truly great really means. Though it may seem strange to admit, some albums I’ve given high marks to earlier in the year may have deserved lower scores in hindsight. Why, you ask? Well, …

STREAM: Coke Bust – “Iron Spiral”

May 17th, 2013 Tyler Osborne

One of the fastest bands out of Washington, DC, hardcore band Coke Bust released a new song today titled “Iron Spiral.” Just under a minute in length, the song has the signature Coke Bust feel: fast and most certainly pissed.

“Iron Spiral” is the first song to come off of Coke Bust’s newest full-length, Confined, which comes out this Summer on Grave Mistake Records.

Coke Bust is also heading out on tour all over the world this Summer, first in the USA, then in Europe. Coke Bust is one of the hardest working bands in the hardcore scene …
