  • Fourth Quarter Comeback: Finders Keepers

    fourth-quarter-comeback- promo

    There is hardly a somber moment on the Fairfax native powerpop-rock band Fourth Quarter Comeback’s five-track EP, titled Finders Keepers. The upbeat beginning sticks until the final song. Opener “When I Fall” is a track that is sure to wake you up with the dog-whistle synth note in the first few seconds; thankfully, that note

  • Car Party: High and Low Places EP

    Car Party - promo

    Vocals are an essential part of a band like Car Party. You’re probably thinking ‘when are they NOT essential?’  Well, when the band is an instrumental one; which happens to not be Car Party. Nonetheless, their four-song EP High and Low Places is successful with catchy melodies and relatable lyrics; the vocals are not the only

  • The Ready Set: Feel Good Now EP

    Jesse McCartney, Aaron Carter, and Big Time Rush:  What do these three acts have to do with The Ready Set? Their catchy songs clearly made for the young-at-heart (or just literally young) girls, their usage of the miracle invention “auto-tune,” and the cute lyrics? Possibly. Probably. Nonetheless, those comparisons were the first thing that came

  • Patrick Stump: Soul Punk

    Patrick Stump - Promo

    Patrick Stump shouldn’t need any introduction (if you really need one, check out my preview of this album two months ago), so let’s get right into the review. Soul Punk is a bit of a misnomer, while at the same time being the most accurate title imaginable for the record. There’s nothing at all like the

  • We Are The In Crowd: Best Intentions

    We Are The In Crowd Promo

    With Best Intentions, We Are The In Crowd has matured, while staying true to the energy that made their previous EP so enjoyable. That said, not every song is an uptempo pop-punk track that would have found a comfortable home on that release. This album finds the band slowing down for a few minutes, showing

  • Mayday Parade: Mayday Parade

    Mayday Parade - Promo

    Out of all of the albums that were released October 4th, this was the one I was least sure about. While A Lesson In Romantics was damn near perfection, Anywhere But Here, while still good, seemed to miss its mark. If only I could have predicted their recent return to form. From beginning to end,

  • Lights: Siberia

    Lights-Promo

    Canadian electro artist Lights, is out with her sophomore effort Siberia. She is most known for her signature space-age sound, what I envision a spaceship sounding like when jumping to LIGHTSpeed (see what I did there? So PUNny TROLOLOLOL). She is also well-known for her being every nerd’s wet dream, but that is another story
