Recent Releases

A lot of good music has been released lately, from August to September. Let me give you the lowdown of what you need to start listening to.


Asteria - Asteria - Aug 19
-Asteria is back and better than ever with a brand new self titled EP. Great musicianship on this album. This is pop at its finest, great vocals, bass playing, some cool guitar and drum stuff here and there, nice electronic effects. Long Story short, check these guys out. Previous single "The Taste The Touch" is not their only good song ;) This EP is a must have for all pop, and pop punk fans.

Jack's Mannequin - The Glass Passenger - Sep 30
-No, this CD is not out quite yet, but definitely make sure to put "The Glass Passenger" on your list. Jack's Mannequin is a very talented, catchy band that anyone can listen to. With previous songs "Bruised," "Holiday From Real," "The Mixed Tape," and "Dark Blue," these guys are loaded with catchy single quality songs. I have high hopes for "The Glass Passenger. Be sure to check this one out.

Underoath - Lost In The Sound of Separation - Sep 02
Not a huge fan of Underoath, although their new cd got really, really good reviews.... And I think this is a must have/must check out for all hardcore, screamo fans.

Senses Fail - Family Tradition EP - Aug 26
-This Ep, plus future cd (Life is Not a Waiting room out Oct. 7th) are probably the 2 cds Im most exited for on this list. First of all, everyone reading this go buy the new Senses Fail EP on itunes for 3 bucks. It comes with 3 songs and a cd sampler track. All 3 of the songs are amazing. These guys are so talented... guitar solos, sweet drumlines, decent bass, ridiculous vocals... This Ep + Future Cd are must haves for everyone reading this. BUY IT

Valencia - We All Need A Reason to Believe - Aug 26th
-These guys prove that pop punk is still out there( not another stupid media hungry boy band...) and better than ever. I havent bought this CD yet but its on my list. If you are a fan of All Time Low, these guys tour with them... Valencia's newest CD is a must have for all pop punk fans and a must check out for everyone reading this. These guys are talented and I have high hopes/expectations for their future.

Punchline - Just Say Yes - Sep 16
-Not out yet, but Punchline is a pretty good pop punk band worth checking out. Ive already got the new single "Somewhere In the Dark" and have to say... this is some really catchy cool stuff. They have however changed their sound quite a bit(judging by their new single) So I can't say this would be a must have... but this is a must check out. Check out Punchline!



...Should have a cool artist profile for you guys in the next few days
