Spark of Life – Plagued by the Human Condition
Review — August 22, 2025
Spark Of Life hails from LA and has been around since the early 2000s. Their debut album dropped in 2003, but it took almost two decades to drop their newest album titled Plagued by the Human Condition. This album was released through New Age Records out of southern California, …
The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die – Dreams of Being Dust
Review — August 30, 2025
I’m instantly drawn to bands that have intriguing or long names. Without even listening to the first note of the band, I know it’s going to be pushing the boundaries of normalcy in music. Which is why it should be no surprise that TWIABP, in certain spots through this album, …
Sleep Pod Two – Rehearse Your Future
Review — August 30, 2025
You can always tell when a band contains seasoned musicians. They give off a different aura through their music and it sounds complete. It just meshes better. The songwriting is well done, the vocal melodies are catchy, and the transitions from verses, choruses, and bridges are complex but accessible. That …
Various Artists – Pulley/Fire Sale – ‘Split Personality'
Review — September 5, 2025
When I saw this split 7” announced, I genuinely got excited. I love both bands. I knew that when you have two powerhouse punk bands coming together to drop a split, nothing could go wrong. While one of the bands, Pulley, is a household name in the punk community, the …

Between the Buried and Me – The Blue Nowhere
Review — September 13, 2025
Between The Buried And Me are seasoned vets to the progressive metalcore, electronic, prog (whatever other genre they bend) scene and continue to drop album after album. Their career started back in 2000 from the ashes of one of the greatest metalcore bands of all time (in my humble opinion), …
American Television – You’re Not Alone
Review — September 19, 2025
Hailing from our nation’s capital of Washington, D.C., come the melodic punk band American Television.

East End Redemption – Crashing Down
Review — September 11, 2025
Who would’ve thought that from the land of lobsters and blueberries, you’d find a punk band? East End Redemption is a four-piece band that brings their flavor of punk from Portland, Maine to the masses with their eleven song, debut full-length album, Crashing Down. They mix elements of skate …
Silverstein – Pink Moon
Review — September 20, 2025
It’s wild to think that Silverstein has been a band for 25 years. That is quite the accomplishment to achieve. The Ontario, Canadian post-hardcore/emo band has released 12 studio albums in that time and are getting ready to drop lucky number 13 with Pink Moon. This 8-track album …
Face Yourself – Fury
Review — September 20, 2025
Face Yourself is a transcontinental deathcore force that has been around since 2023. It’s amazing to me that their members are spread out from Colorado, New York, New Jersey, and France. I can barely get friends in the same town as me to hang out. The band isn’t afraid …
xNullifyx – xNullifyx
Review — September 27, 2025
I love almost all genres of music, but hardcore has always been towards the top for me. I love the intensity, the passion, and typically the message that is conveyed. I grew up listening to bands on such record labels as Revelation, Victory, Indecision, New Age and many more that …
Bad Cop Bad Cop – Lighten Up
Review — September 27, 2025
If you haven’t heard of the Southern Californian band Bad Cop Bad Cop, then you are truly missing out on a top tier, female punk powerhouse. They sit at the crossroads of ‘90s skate punk and modern melodic punk. The band returns louder than ever with their fourth full-length and …

Dying Wish – Flesh Stays Together
Review — October 2, 2025
From their hardcore days to their newer, progressing sound on Flesh Stays Together, Dying Wish has been inching toward something sharper, more spectral, more personal. Not just lyrically, but also in sound. The band formed in Portland, Oregon in 2018 and haven’t stopped terrorizing the world alongside Spiritbox and …
La Dispute – No One Was Driving The Car
Review — October 3, 2025
Occasionally bands will surpass being musicians and become artists. La Dispute aren’t making music. They’re making art. The band returns after six years with their self-produced 14 track, full-length, No One Was Driving The Car. It was neat how they launched this album through songs grouped in “acts” via …
To The Grave – Still
Review — October 4, 2025
Coming from Australia, To The Grave bring their brutal vegan deathcore offering Still to fans worldwide. This EP punches you right in the gut with seven tracks of horror infused mayhem. These tracks were originally recorded during their sessions of making their previous full-length, Everyone’s A Murderer. However, the …

Let’s get formally introduced to the underground and independent band Neutral Snap. They are an upcoming pop punk/emo band from New Orleans that have been around since 2018.
