Justen Hamilton
One Year EP
-
iwrestledabearonce
"Thunder Chunky"
This song in particular just doesn't have what it takes to carry itself with the same amount of energy and confidence from front to back.
-
We Came As Romans
"Tracing Back Roots"
"Tracing Back Roots" is evidence that WCAR is evolving and growing stronger as a unit.
-
Nine Inch Nails
Came Back Haunted
“Came Back Haunted” is the featured single for Nine Inch Nails’ upcoming album, Hesitation Marks, and based off of this song, it should be a doozy of an album.
-
The Dangerous Summer
"Catholic Girls"
This seems more like a taste of the sound you will hear from this album - makes me hope that the best is yet to come.
-
MGMT
Alien Days
The single gives me high hopes for their next album and I am ecstatic to hear more material from it.
-
Xerxes
"Tramadol"
Xerxes might just be better off for taking a leap of faith on trying to diversify their sound this time around.
-
August Burns Red
"Fault Line"
Fault Line = The ghost of ABR past + The ghost of ABR yet to come.
-
The World Is a Beautiful Place and I Am No Longer Afraid to Die
"Picture of a Tree That Doesn't Look Okay"
Safe to say, fans of the band will be super anxious to hear the rest of the album after hearing this track.
-
The Story So Far
"Clairvoyant"
Departure from their sound with incredible results
-
Falling In Reverse
"Alone"
On May 7th, Ronnie Radke introduced the genre of Trapcore to the world (Trapcore: The overwhelming combination of metalcore, hip-hop and electronic sounds); I really wish he hadn’t.
-
Atoms For Peace
"Magic Beanz"
If it had been on Amok I would have ranked it with the best of its songs.
-
You, Me & Everyone We Know
"I'd Contribute More Dead"
Ben Liebsch has released teasers of his abilities and talent, adding "I'd Contribute More Dead" to the list of examples.
-
Relient K
"Don't Blink"
At best, it’s a fun summer hit, but it’s forgettable.
-
Sleeping With Sirens
"Low"
Sleeping With Sirens just released the first single, Low, off their new album “Feel” (in stores June 4th) a day early and needless to say it’s catchy and definitely captures their sound. But what it lacks is change, depth, or anything new!
-
Childish Gambino
"Think of Me"
"Think of Me" is sharp enough to be catchy, engaging and bubbling with enough personality to keep you interested through it's run of personally-inclined lines and just right beats.
-
Daft Punk
Get Lucky
This album will make us feel how we haven’t felt in a long time, and I’m looking forward to it.
-
The Wonder Years
"Dismantling Summer"
Dismantling Summer continues to build hype for what can only be their best work yet.
-
Psy
"Gentleman"
While the video's production values are something to behold and there are a few laughs, it is nowhere near the benchmark he has set for himself.
-
Jimmy Eat World
"I Will Steal You Back"
Energetic, fun, and soft. At the same damn time.
-
Fall Out Boy
"Young Volcanoes"
Fall Out Boy’s return from hiatus has sent the music world to its’ knees. Their newest single, "Young Volcanoes", is helping it stay down.
-
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
"Under the Earth"
The Yeah Yeah Yeahs are back; “Under the Earth” is just proof.
-
City and Colour
"Thirst"
Dallas and the boys of City and Colour return promptly with a great new tune that steers 180 degrees from "Of Space and Time"
-
The Wonder Years
"Passing Through A Screen Door"
The Wonder Years show their scars in a personal, energetic leadoff single to their fourth LP.
-
Outline in Color
"Tauscher.O"
Hopefully a sign of what is to come later in 2013...
-
Their / They're / There
Concession Speech Writer
"Concession Speech Writer" is a strong first entry from Their/They're/There's upcoming EP.
-
Confide
"Sooner or Later"
Generi-core at its finest.
-
Vampire Weekend
"Diane Young/Step"
“Whoa” was my initial reaction in listening to the new Vampire Weekend single, “Diane Young”.
