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: The Front Bottoms – Talon of the Hawk

May 13th, 2013 Tyler Osborne

Band: The Front Bottoms
Album: Talon of the Hawk
Genre: Punk/Acoustic
Label: Bar/None Records

I initially wrote The Front Bottoms off because I thought they were something hipster kids listened to while smoking out in their parents’ suburban basement. I will admit that. I hold really hard preconceptions, and I don’t know why, but that’s how I’ve always been. However, when one of my best friends told me that I needed to listen to The Front Bottoms, I decided to revisit the group because I figured they must have something good going on. When I first heard their self-titled record, …

REVIEW: Senses Fail – Renancer

April 5th, 2013 Tyler Osborne

Band: Senses Fail
Album: Renancer
Label: Staple Records
Genre: Hardcore

I will admit right up front: I was never on the Senses Fail train when I was growing up. That probably just turned a lot of people off, and I apologize, but know that I’m not completely ignorant to the amazing body of work this NJ group has put together over their long career of making music. It’s only really been within the past year I’ve gotten to know Senses Fail’s catalog at the intense instruction of my girlfriend. She always said Senses Fail has been around so long because …

Reign Supreme

REVIEW: Reign Supreme – Sky Burial

March 12th, 2013 Tyler Osborne

Band: Reign Supreme
Album: Sky Burial
Genre: Metallic Hardcore
Label: Deathwish, Inc.

Philadelphia’s Reign Supreme have always had a reputation for being heavy. The guitarist of my band loves them, and he listens to only super heavy music for the most part. So when I was assigned Reign Supreme’s new EP Sky Burial, I knew I was in for a heavy hitter. I was not disappointed.

REVIEW: The Rival Mob – Mob Justice

February 20th, 2013 Tyler Osborne

Band: The Rival Mob
Album: Mob Justice
Genre: Hardcore
Label: Revelation Records

The Rival Mob is one of those bands in hardcore that has an extreme amount of hype. Like a disturbing amount. Want a used t-shirt on eBay? $40. Want a 7-inch? Don’t even bother looking. When bands have such extreme amounts of demand, it must be for a reason, right? That isn’t always the case. There are tons of bands that are just hype but have no backbone. The Rival Mob is not one of those bands, and their newest full length Mob Justice proves why they are …

REVIEW: Alcoa – Bones and Marrow

February 14th, 2013 Tyler Osborne

Artist: Alcoa
Album: Bones and Marrow
Label: Bridge 9

Defeater is a hardcore band that’s been on the rise over the past few years. With their release of Empty Days & Sleepless Nights in 2011, the band grew exponentially in their popularity. They are fast, aggressive and just an overall intense emotional experience. When I found out that singer of Defeater Derek Archambault had a side project named Alcoa, I was skeptical. I knew that the acoustic tracks on Empty Days & Sleepless Nights were awesome, but I didn’t really know how much of a hand Derek had  in …

Bad Religion

REVIEW: Bad Religion – True North

January 9th, 2013 Tyler Osborne

Artist: Bad Religion
Album: True North
Genre: Punk
Label: Epitaph

It’s a rainy Saturday morning in March of 2012, and I’m with my now-girlfriend and we’re on the way to the National Mall in Washington DC.  We’re not going to soak in the landscapes, the monuments, or the museums. Why were we there? Bad Religion. Bad Religion has been a band since 1979, and people were still coming out in droves to see them. While my knowledge of Bad Religion was cursory, I found myself completely enthralled by the performance they put on. Hell, I even circle-pitted with a …
