Their newest EP So Nice To Meet You, along with bassist Chris Fafalios’ promise to quit the band if the EP doesn’t reach number one on iTunes, is proof of this.

    10 You Should Know - Dreampop

    Dreampop is a genre that is particularly close to me. Some of my favorite records of all time fall under the category. As do some of my favorites from this year. The ethereal feeling, androgynous vocals and dreamy landscapes provide a genre that revolves around the pictures that the music creates. Considering the genre first

    Going Somewhere - Featured

    Being different doesn’t make us any different. It might not be the mantra of UK-based electro-rockers Enter Shikari, but the ups-and-downs of its career thus far, including the lead-up to the band’s third full-length, A Flash Flood of Colour, would probably suggest otherwise.

    10 You Should Know - 2011 PopPunk

    Boy, was it great to be a pop-punk fan in 2011. With seasoned vets showing that they still have life in them (Blink-182, Saves The Day, New Found Glory, etc.) along with plenty of quality releases from modern pop-punk heroes (The Wonder Years, Man Overboard, Transit, etc.), the genre was clearly at its finest this year. More and

    Whitechapel - A New Era Of Whitechapel Featured

    Getting older is sometimes hard to do. Growing up can sometimes be harder. For a metal band, doing either can often spell certain doom, but for Whitechapel, the musically destructive, lyrically scathing deathcore outfit named after Jack the Ripper’s killing grounds, the path to realization and maturity has turned out seemingly every way but the
