From First To Last release track off Rise Records debut

Modern post-hardcore outfit From First To Last are streaming a new track online. You can listen to conspiratorially titled "I’ll Inoculate The World With The Virus…" on their MySpace page. The band’s forthcoming album, Throne To The Wolves, comes out March 16. It will be their first release for new label...

Living Sacrifice post "Organized Lie" on MySpace

Living Sacrifice have posted another new track online. This one’s called "Organized Lie," and you can check it out on their MySpace page. The reunited Christian metalcore act will be putting out The Infinite Order on Jan. 26 through Solid State. It will be their first full-length since 2002’s Conceived In Fire.

Nightmare Of You

Nightmare Of You Infomaniac Nightmare Of You left behind landscapes of lower fidelity with their self-titled 2005 full-length, a glossy romp that soaked the band’s ’80s Britpop in dancier, electrified waters. Infomaniac is a natural progression: a warmer, low-key affair that leaves most of its bags in Manchester but seeks settlement in Liverpool. Though most...

Killswitch Engage

Killswitch Engage Killswitch Engage [4/5] The fact that Killswitch Engage self-titled their fifth album provides a clue to the sounds contained within. Killswitch Engage is a concise encapsulation of everything KSE do well, with no real filler and an obvious single in “Take Me Away.” It’s a meat-and-potatoes guitar-bass-drums record; some tastefully melancholy piano...

All Time Low - Nothing Personal

All Time Low Nothing Personal 2008 was a big year for All Time Low. Between landing the cover of this magazine twice, headlining two sold-out tours and getting a whole lot of love from MTV, there wasn’t much downtime for the band–frontman Alex Gaskarth, guitarist/court jester Jack Barakat, bassist Zack Merrick and drummer Rian Dawson–before...

Wilco- Wilco (The Album)

Wilco (The Album) Wilco continue to reign in their experimental fuzz, focusing more on pretty melodies (“Country Disappeared”), upbeat toe-tappers (“You Never Know”) and sweet acoustic numbers (“Solitaire”) for their seventh full-length. A notable exception is the driving “Bull Black Nova,” which could’ve been an outtake from 2004’s A Ghost Is Born, replete with Nels...

We Were Promised Jetpacks

These Four Walls Young Edinburgh, Scotland-based quartet We Were Promised Jetpacks mash together everything good about Scottish music on their debut album, These Four Walls-from the guitar thunderheads and cinematic wind tunnels popularized by Mogwai (“Keeping Warm”) to the wide-eyed angst of the Twilight Sad (“Quiet Little Voices”) and delicate acoustic moments of tourmates Frightened...

Time & Distance- Gravity

Gravity Though the album might have more hooks than a meat locker, Time And Distance’s Gravity begins to slide unwaveringly into predictability after the second track. What starts as well thought-out and catchy pop quickly turns into a game of “Wait, didn’t I just hear this song?” At the same time, the band force into...

Therefore I Am- The Sound Of Human Lives

The Sound Of Human Lives Something’s gotten into the bonnets of Therefore I Am on their debut full-length, The Sound Of Human Lives. The Boston emocore band have transcended that particular tag, recording an emotionally targeted record that does their hardcore hometown proud and may even have some listeners calling for a revolution this summer....
