Those nationwide lockdowns also helped us psychically reinvest in our music scene. How many so-called “music fans” decided to stay home last year when practically every band on our devices could still tour? This year, we had the time to actually listen to entire songs. Sure, TikTokis fun. But reducing culture to mere song parts says volumes about h...
If you’ve been online (all the time) this year, there’s a slim chance you missed this massive, earth-shattering release from Matty Healyand company. It fuses everything the 1975have built their career on and more: Auto-Tune goodness, orchestral tracks, ’80spower ballads, pop-punk throwbacks reminiscent of their Drive Like I Dodays and a genuine int...
Despite the chaos that is2020, All Time Lowencountered milestoneafter milestone in this otherwise bleak year and offered fans light with their appropriately titled eighth album, Wake Up, Sunshine. This record perfectly encompasses both their punk-rock past with So Wrong, It’s Right vibes in the title track, all while showing immense growth and thei...
Seventeen days into the year that changed everything, Anti-Flagreleased 20/20 Vision, one of the standout albums from their revered multi-decade career. This time-stamped thematic release powerfully eviscerates No. 45, his corrupt cronies and the administration’s hateful policies in an aggressive, punchy and melodic fashion. We wouldn’t expect anyt...
If 2017’s self-titled was testing the waters with Danny Worsnopback in the fold, Like A House On Fireis Asking Alexandriathrowing themselves in the deep end and breathing comfortably at the depths. As cinematic as it is unapologetic, their melodic 2020 incarnation made its intentions clear through the words of “Down To Hell”: “You can want what I’m...
August Burns Redare one of the most consistent bands in metalcore, as well as the metal and hardcore “ingredients” that make up the collision subgenre. Their penchant for brutal breakdowns eschews the problem they often carry: overreliance that supersedes the need to write interesting songs. Nay, August Burns Red‘s mastery of ever-evolving melodic ...
Many versions of the punk-rock blueprint concentrate on being harder and faster and making the grand statement. On their third album, Bad Cop/Bad Copproject far more empathy than your typical punk emissaries. The songs on The Ridefeel like snapshots of people who embody the slice-of-life vignettes. “Simple Girl” isn’t an overarching girl-power anth...
Riding off the success of his career’s hottest bummercould’ve easily led to a rushed, pop-radio friendly gamble of a record for R&B/hip-hop mainstay blackbear. But he took his time. A year after touching down on the charts with a summer smash in 2019, blackbear gave it a home on his August release, everything means nothing. The record, however, is ...
SoCal punk outfit the Bombpopswent deep and hard into their psyches to create sunny, caffeinated songs inspired by dark subjects. Namely addiction, dead relationships and seeking a way out of these cycles. (Where do you think they got that album title, anyway?) The tandem guitar/vocal team of Poli Van Dam and Jen Razavi are tight and taut. But thei...
GLUEmarks a huge departure from the Boston Manorwe’ve grown familiar with over the years. While the stark contrast between their new sound and old songs took a little while to warm up to, Boston Manor managed to branch out from the niche pop-punk scene into a new world of experimentation. From the aggression-filled “You, Me & The Class War” to the ...
