Neck Deep ‘All Distortions Are Intentional’ review
If All Time Low’s Nothing Personal got criticism for being too pop and not punk enough, All Distortions Are Intentional should definitely get the same treatment.
The Homeless Gospel Choir ‘This Land Is Your Landfill’ album review
While I appreciate the sentiment in 'This Land Is Your Landfill', the new full length from The Homeless Gospel Choir, there's very little musical value in these thirty four minutes.
The Used ‘Heartwork’ album review
It seems these days that The Used are happy to push musical boundaries rather than shoot for a comeback album. After the (unwarranted) flop of 2017 double album outing The Canyon, a lot of fans seemed to give up on McCracken and co.. Two new singles 'Blow Me' and 'Paradise Lost, a poem by John Milton' reinstated some people's love for the band, but the people who will truly adore this masterpiece are those who aren't looking for an early 2000's sounding The Used, but those who are looking to see the band take on board everything they've learned from their previous seven outings.
Review: Silverstein’s ‘A Beautiful Place To Drown’
After twenty years you'd expect the fusion of pop punk and post-hardcore that is Silverstein's trademark to have grown tired. That's not the case, though. In fact, it's quite the opposite.

Junior ‘Beautiful Life’ album review
Junior have spent two years writing 'Beautiful Life', recording it across three studios, with the simple goal of pushing out the boat both with their own sound, and with the messages they can get out in their songs. They work long and then work hard, and it's safe to say that they've proved they're not just another pop punk band.

The Bottom Line will be joining Zebrahead on tour!
Like Giants announce first shows
Pop-punk seems to be neverending these days but Like Giants are using their hard-hitting yet soft, vocal melodies, heavier riff-driven tracks to set themselves apart. They have now announced their first ever shows so if you want to see them in person, you knwo where to go.
Sunsleeper – You Can Miss Something & Not Want It Back
Sunsleeper's new album 'You Can Miss Something & Not Want It Back' is a bold statement, both in title and music. They don't shy away from the emo label, readily embracing their influences on the new record. But the fact is, anything could happen on an emo revival album.
ROAM and With Confidence announce co-headline UK tour

Weatherstate – Born A Cynic
It seems these days I write the word 'punk' in practically every piece I write, be that punk of the pop variety, of the hardcore variety, or of the not very good variety. 'Born A Cynic', Weatherstate's first full length, ticks the boxes of the first two.
