Set Your Goals is one of the bands that popped up a couple of years ago combining pop-punk with hardcore breakdowns like New Found Glory used to.

Small Brown Bike is one of those bands that I just missed out on when I got into this kinda music. What a waste!

Is it just me or did the new Thursday album just kinda slide through under the radar?

Six years after the release of “Perfect Pitch Black”, Cave In strikes back with “White Silence”.

After eight long years, Swingin’ Utters are finally back with a new album.

These straight edge disciples get to call Atlanta home and like to destroy venues with their gritty as fuck hardcore that harkens back to the discordant sounds of Unbroken and Trial.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard of Letlive before “Fake History” or if I have, I didn’t make the effort of remembering them.
