Four Year Strong – ‘Four Year Strong’

When Boston’s Four Year Strong released their 2007 breakthrough album ‘Rise Or Die Trying’, they couldn’t have had any idea just how prescient that title would turn out to be. To describe the band’s fortunes over the past 8 years as ‘a mixed bag’ would be an understatement on a par with

Three Days Grace – ‘Human’

Replacing a front-man can often be incredibly difficult for bands to do without alienating some part of their fanbase. Loyalties are often split between those reluctant to accept such an obvious change to the line-up and those who are just happy that the band is continuing in one

I The Mighty – ‘Connector’

‘Connector’ seems like a fit title for I The Mighty’s second full-length record. Their debut, ‘Satori’ didn’t quite seem to grasp as much attention as it should’ve, however this time around they’ve created something special, something that will connect with people and an album that will grab you

Faith No More – ‘Sol Invictus’

For years it seemed almost impossible that Faith No More would ever make their return, and it remained but a pipe dream for their heavily dedicated fan base. They answered everyone’s prayers in 2009 with several festival and club performances, which carried on for a couple of years,

Diamond Youth – ‘Nothing Matters’

There’s quite literally no escaping the abundance of bands that are looking back to the 90’s to find influence for their art these days. However for the most part, a lot of bands are focusing on the grunge, indie, and shoegaze elements from that era, and there’s nothing

Twenty One Pilots – ‘Blurryface’

‘Blurryface’ by Twenty One Pilots, their second signed offering on Fuelled by Ramen and their fourth overall release, is a melting pot of exuberant sound. It is a release that will ring true for many who feel they are just another face in the crowd.

Anti-Flag – ‘American Spring’

Anti-Flag’s new release ‘American Spring’ is their ninth studio album and their first release on Spinefarm Records. The songs are an aggressive critique of the global, social and political climate of 2015. The entire ‘American Spring’ package includes essays, personal liner notes and further information behind the driving forces of each song,

InMe – ‘Trilogy: Dawn’

A suitably daring undertaking for a band almost twenty years into their career, InMe have gone for a triple album with their ‘Trilogy’ project. It may be coming only a few years after Green Day’s high-profile ¡Uno! ¡Dos! ¡Tré! triple album, but this is something quite different with

The Early November – ‘Imbue’

‘Imbue’, the fourth full-length by original Drive Thru Records signees The Early November, is their heaviest release to date. Having signed to Rise Records upon their return in 2011, the post-hiatus New Jersey five-piece have continuously developed their sound – building upon the emo driven sound that dominated
