5. Palisades—Palisades
Palisades’ third, self-titled album found itself popping up on our radar since its January release, and with the success of tracks like “Let Down” and “Aggression,” along with the positive response we received from fans like you, it's easy to see that their musical effort paid off.
Palisades by @WeArePalisades. That shit slaps! Great songwriting. Impeccable prod. 10/10 would blast out the windows while driving 97 mph.
— Lil Svndwich (@Sam_SantaCruz) June 7, 2017
@WeArePalisades self titled. They worked so hard and really found their sound with this one. Every song has meaning and value on the album.

4. Graveyard Shift—Motionless In White
Motionless In White are known for delivering the music we’re anxiously waiting to hear, and Graveyard Shift is a clear indicator that the band has not disappointed. If you haven’t given the record a listen, we’re sure you’ll love Graveyard Shift as much as we (and the fans) do.
Graveyard Shift from @MIWband it is so heavy and diverse, every song is a gem

With American Candy, the Maine solidified their standing in the pop-laden rock world; and with Lovely Little Lonely, the band exceeded any and every expectation with their most recent release. Your votes gave it a place on our list—meaning you have no excuse to not give this record a spin.
Lovely Little Lonely by The Maine! It's lyrically powerful, sounds incredible, and I love how seamlessly the songs transition into the next.

2. After Laughter—Paramore
When Paramore released their debut single “Hard Times” from their new album After Laughter, it was clear that the band weren't afraid to mix and blend genres in the best way. Their new record is the ultimate summer album, and by the response we received, it's easy to see that their musical effort (and the wait!) paid off.
Paramore's 'After Laughter' because they proved that music doesn't have to fit in a box, it just has to come from a genuine place to be good
— Ashley Murphy (@ashhhm21) June 7, 2017
After Laughter from my babes in @paramore. New, fresh sound, emo to the core. It's everything I needed.
