Portugal. The Man. I’ve already reviewed one of their older albums and classifying them hasn’t become any easier since.

Rise Against is a band with a message and they do not only carry it out in their lyrics.

With a sound that draws as much from post-hardcore as it does from more traditional rock, These Arms Are Snakes are once again on the warpath with “Tail Swallower And Dove”.

Andy Bothwell aka Astronautalis earned his marks as an MC on the battle circuit before dropping his first full-length.

Yup, even punkrockers grow old. Born and raised on Fat Wreck, Lagwagon has been dropping releases for twenty years now.

“Off With Their Heads” is already album number three for Kaiser Chiefs in just four years. They’re going at it hard yet they never choose quantity over quality.

Holy shit! A metalcore album I actually like? It’s been awhile but Unearth is one of few bands you can count on to deliver quality. And that’s no different on “The March”.

When members of Converge, Glassjaw, Thursday and who knows who else start a band together, all the messageboards go into overdrive and a hype is quickly created.
