The Story So Far - The Story So Far

I only had time to listen to this once but I know that people will be looking everywhere for this one for awhile.  I don't listen to a large amount of pop punk anymore but The Story So Far is a pop punk band that I find myself going back to occasionally.  I loved their first two albums and even though I got burnt out on how they are suddenly everyone's favorite band and how they're the go to band of every tumblr kid ever, I found myself really hoping that this would be a good album and I honestly was really looking forward to this coming out.  After listening to all of the singles and then listening through the album once I think that it is probably going to hold up for all of their fans.  It seems like they realized that what they have done for their past two albums will sell records and do well for them so they didn't really look to change anything up.  I personally was hoping to see more of a hardcore influence in this album knowing that they have toured with a few hardcore bands over the past few years and after seeing TSSF's vocalist come out with a hardcore side project but I was definitely very wrong.  I remember them saying in an interview that they would never play Clairvoyant live because their live shows are energetic and after hearing this album I hope that it stays that way.  There are a few pretty soft songs on this album and I hope that they don't try to just start appealing to the tumblr girls that are getting their parents to buy them merch.  But it's a good album overall and worth checking out.  And if you're a big pop punk fan then definitely listen to it because I'm sure your pants are already filled with cum at the thought of new songs from them.

Hyperview - Title Fight

I got around to posting this really late so I'm sure most people have already listened to this, but if you haven't or if you've heard about this album and decided not to listen check out what I have to say quick.  I'm a big fan of Title Fight so I was very excited for this album to be released.  When they started releasing singles from the album I started getting more and more hesitant towards it because I wasn't sure if I liked the direction that they were going.  To be honest, this is totally them doing the "in" thing right now.  With that being said, I do like the album.  After listening through it once or twice I wasn't too excited about it.  I didn't really have any drive to go back and listen again.  After being bored and listening through it more I started to like it.  Some songs repeatedly keep getting stuck in my head.  This definitely isn't the album for kids who only liked Shed and aren't in to anything melodic.  Hyperview is really a good album if you give it the chance.  Go into this album with an open mind and spend time letting it sink in.

The New Sidewalk - Such Gold

I haven't written a review in about 8 months now so I apologize if this is a little sketchy.  This is Such Gold's newest album and upon first listen I realized that it was the best material they have ever released.  A lot of fuck boy pop punk kids say that Such Gold isn't worth listening to past Pedestals and anyone who says that obviously just doesn't like actual musical talent.  With every album Such Gold pushes the boundaries and comes up with more progressive, more technical, and more bad ass parts.  One of the most stand out performances of this album is the way that the vocals are delivered.  I couldn't tell with Misadventures whether or not Such Gold would try to take a more melodic hardcore path or end up bringing it back to pop punk but with this album they ended up paving a new path.  The vocals are delivered extremely clean in some parts and are almost never taken into a full scream.  This shows me that he has become more confident with his voice and is letting the music make up for any aggression that the vocals have lost.  This is the first album that they have released as a four piece and that left me expecting the guitar to be lacking compared to their previous work but again, I couldn't have been more wrong.  Every song fucking rips.  I honestly have no idea how it is possible to play such technical pieces with such strange timing and be able to sing at the same time.  Whatever it is they are doing now is working and I haven't been able to stop listening to this for weeks now.  If you haven't checked it out yet you need to get on it immediately.

Split - Ivy League TX/Turnover/Maker/Such Gold

These guys are all pretty cool and Such Gold is one of my favorite bands so it's pretty cool they did a split together. Four bands from all different parts of America came together for this so if you're a fan of pop punk and skip out on this you're obviously missing out on something big.

Talon Of The Hawk - The Front Bottoms

Everyone has been telling me to listen to this band for the past year or so and since I'm stubborn I never did.  I had the opportunity to see them once and on my way to the show found out it was sold out so that again kept me from hearing them.  Yesterday Say Anything announced their new tour and The Front Bottoms is their main support throughout the entire tour so I finally decided to go ahead and download their music, and of course, I love it.  Totally part of the "Emo Revival" but that's completely okay with me.  Even if the "Emo Revival" is a trend, it's a trend that I love.  I've always been a fan of emo music and this album is an awesome addition to my collection.  If you still think of kids with black straightened hair and skin tight clothes when you think of emo then you need to listen to this album and realize that they were just a really shitty scene that appeared out of nowhere.  This album is ridiculously relatable and seriously catchy.  If you're an idiot like I am and haven't checked them out yet, end that now. -Ian(I always forget to sign my name)

Oh, Common Life - Fireworks

I again, didn't get a chance to listen to this yet.  Fireworks is a cool band that I personally have never been able to get very into, but I think that's just because I never really have given them the chance.  I saw them on a tour awhile ago with The Wonder Years and I remember that they killed it.  I'm seeing them again later this week on another tour with The Wonder Years so I'm sure after seeing that I'll be mad at myself for not giving them a solid listen.  Anyway, check out their new album. I'm sure it'll be cool.

Silhouette (Latin Skin) - Seahaven

My friend just told me to listen to this and I'm listening now for the first time.  I've never given Seahaven a chance before but this 7" is enough to make me go back and check them out.  Every song has a really low-key relaxed vibe that will be nice to listen to on a late summer night.  The whole feel of this is just really nice when you're looking to listen to something to relax.  If you're like me and have never given Seahaven a chance give these three songs a quick listen.

Glamour Kills 2012 Tour Compilation

I just saw this pop up somewhere and I remembered how much I used to like to listen to this compilation.  It's really cool because each band that was on the tour covered another band on the tour and some of the songs turned out really cool.  The Story So Far show off their hardcore roots in this and they pull it off really well.  And Into It Over It's cover of Don't Let Me Cave In is hauntingly great.

Heavy Head- Elder Brother

The lovechild of The Story So Far’s Kevin Geyer and Daybreaker’s Dan Rose, Elder Brother is a brand new indie band that has been generating a lot of buzz in the scene, for good reason. The duo’s music is catchy and creative, a statement that anyone who heard the first three singles (Throw Me to the Wolves, In My Bones, and Pennsylvania) will attest to. Although the band is officially still only a two-piece, Elder Brother was assisted in the studio by Gus Pesce of Defeater and Matthew and Charles Vincent of The American Scene. The American Scene’s influence is quite obvious, especially through Matthew Vincent’s bass lines. The album isn’t out until March 11^th, but Elder Brother streamed it today, so there’s no excuse to starting jamming it now. If you like The American Scene or Kevin Geyer’s acoustic stuff, I guarantee you will like this album.

This one is a banger too and I still listen to it all the time.  I love Such Gold so I'm partial to pretty much everything that they put out.  But I give a big thumbs up to this EP too so if you like the other stuff you've heard go ahead and get this.

Stand Tall EP - Such Gold

This EP just makes me feel like it's summer and that is pretty much saving me from going insane this winter.  Such Gold has always been one of the only pop punk bands that I can consistently listen to and it all started with this EP.  I know that Such Gold isn't huge now, but they're definitely a lot bigger than they were when this came out.  If there are any fans of Such Gold out there that haven't heard this then stop fucking up and listen to it.  And to anyone that is a fan of pop punk with more of a punk side to a pop side (that's the best way I can describe it) then listen to this.  I still love it so there's a good chance you will too.

Enema Of The State - Blink 182

Speaking of albums that paved the way for current bands in the genre it's impossible not to talk about Enema Of The State.  It's literally impossible to live on this planet and not to have at least heard of Blink 182.  I don't care what your opinion on the band is, you have to respect them for how much they've accomplished and how much great music they have inspired.  Odds are if you have a favorite pop punk band and ask them who their inspirations are Blink 182 will be on the list.  And I don't think it's even possible to count the amount of garage bands that have been inspired by them or the amount of cover sets that have happened.  Blink 182 will forever be a band that the general population can agree on for being great.  I personally love everything about them from their shitty song writing to their immaturity.  I don't know what it is about that combination, but whatever it is, it makes for great music.

Cult - Bayside

This is the newest release from Bayside and I'm sure that I don't really need to give them an introduction.  They've been around forever and they continue to put out solid album after album.  With that being said, this album isn't one of my favorites.  A lot of people say that listening to this album makes them feel like they're listening to one of the first Bayside albums and that that's all that they could ask for but for me anyway I still would prefer something new to grab my attention a little more.  If you're a fan of Bayside then you will still really enjoy this album, but if you're a new fan of them or haven't heard them yet I would recommend to start off with one of their earlier albums before you go to this one.

Misadventures - Such Gold

Such Gold along with The Story So Far are the only two pop punk bands that I've been able to consistently listen to ever since I originally heard of them.  They just never really get old.  Such Gold in my opinion is a step above The Story So Far though because of their great guitar work.  These guys consistently kill it by bridging the gap between hardcore/pop punk/melodic shit by coming up with some of the best guitar riffs around.  What's even more amazing to me is right now they're touring as a 4 piece with their singer playing lead as well as about 90% of the vocals ever since their guitarist/backup singer quit.  They're still seamless live and this album really separated their early work from their current direction.  This is definitely one of my favorite pop punk releases of all time and if you decided to sleep on it for some reason you definitely messed up.  They should be coming out with a new album along with a split this year so if you get into this keep an eye out for more good music coming from these guys.
