Pennywise announce new vocalist

Zoli Teglas (of Ignite) is officially the new vocalist of Pennywise. The band tour Europe in April.

Crime In Stereo – I Was Trying To Describe You To Someone

I loved ‘Is Dead’. I think I’m in the minority when I say that Crime In Stereo‘s earlier albums kinda washed over me a little, yet I was floored by that album. Yes, I like Brand New and those New Jersey

1000 Hertz – Are Burning Maps

Apparently this record is a total DIY job and took seven months to put together. If so, good work sirs. ‘Input The Output’ seemed to come out a long, long time ago now. Maybe that’s my memory not serving me well, maybe it was actually an age ago. Either

Attention – Through The Wire

Attention must be one of the most prolific bands out there at the minute, with an EP and two albums released in the space of about 18 months. Impressive stuff, all the more so when you realise they’re all of a high standard. The ‘Stand

So Many Dynamos – The Loud Wars

Illinois indie-rock/dance-punk stalwarts So Many Dynamos formed in 2002 and for this third full length they signed on the dotted line for Vagrant Records. So Many Dynamos are the sonic equivalent of a bumpy road- it’s great if you’re up for that sort of thing, but
