Premiere | Idle Threat "No Turning Back"

Image
Honest, powerful, and poignant rock 'n' roll. Tooth & Nail's newcomers Idle Threat have been making a name for themselves as they coast along the scene's wide landscape, getting high praise for their one-of-a-kind masterpiece blurred visions with one of the big stand outs being their leadoff single "No Turning Back" .  The track like the record itself shows a full display of peace and humility, finding comfort in oneself which reaching out to the people around you, while coming to the realization that you have no control. It's a track that goes full throttle without skipping any beats, going all in with its energetic alt-rock/post-hardcore sound, giving us a taste of what rock music is. It's an uplifting track that never let's go, and it's oh so beautiful. Much like its video that the band are sharing with us for your viewing pleasures. We are very excited to be partnering with Idle Threat in premiering the video for "No Turning Back...

The band are breaking down walls with their most recent single "The Body, The Effigy" from recently released ep "These Are Just Songs, Thank You" .

Announcement | Introducing Party Program

Image
The time has come. After much waiting and anticipation we are now ready to share something with you that we are very excited about. Introducing Party Program . A post-hardcore outfit carefully crafted during the long and grueling days of the pandemic and isolation. Started by former Empty members Cody Constantine and Mitchell Mayes; Party Program is something unique that is destined to make a splash in the foreseeable future.  The band are set to finally roll out the process with their debut ep "These Are Just Songs, Thank You." ; Party Program sets out to do what other bands fail to do in comparison, and that is live by their words; to be as honest and meaningful as they possibly can be. To create a mindset and community of living up to what you say on stage and take actions when they are needed. And that is a message that we can get behind. The first single "Coward Season" which is set to drop this Friday perfectly reflects that mindset and the vision that the ban...

Single Review | Anberlin "Two Graves" (They are back from the grave. And they are heavy)

Image
"IF YOU WANT REVENGE, THEN YOU SHOULD DIG TWO GRAVES" It's time. After years of isolation, Anberlin have returned with their first release in over 7 years since the release of their (as of now) final record Lowborn in 2014. After all of this time in-between releases, what does "Two Graves" have in store? and what does the band bring to the table after all this time away? What makes "Two Graves" so special is the overflowing creativity and longevity that the band has been known for after all this time, the band's long-standing career has made them able to create and craft beautiful pieces of alt-rock bliss, and "Two Graves" might be among some of the bands' best and arguably "heaviest" material to date. The evolving sounds of alt-rock and emo angst with additional elements of post-hardcore and hard rock,  bring the track an extra added punch with a fast paced energy that crushes with all force. The electrifying guitar and bas...

Album Review | Twenty One Pilots "Scaled And Icy" (A colorful mess)

Image
In the new day and age of bands and artists experimenting and expanding their creativity and striving to become even more creative, there is something to be said about when that creativity get's lost in translation. As for Twenty One Pilots ; a creative musical duo who have been expanding their creative pallet for years now; they have been shifting their career with defining moments all over the map, but it begs the question as to what and why that creativity has landed us at their new record "Scaled And Icy". A record that can only be described as a wonderful and colorful mess that feels like it's lost in it's own world. When the term "colorful mess" is used don't take it as a downside as to why the record is bad or anything of the sort; it's just something that can best be described for this album and the contexts behind it. The record deals with topics that have been very prominent throughout the past couple of years as the record focuses on l...

Twenty One Pilots - "Shy Away" Single Review (New Album. New Era. New Sound. Postal Service vibes?!)

Image
In the midst of a brighter future and with the hope of normality on the horizon, it's safe to say that the future looks extremely bright; and with that comes new eras of life. As f or the well loved and critically esteemed pop-rock band Twenty One Pilots, that new era is quickly dawning upon us. The band have released their first single and lead off track 'Shy Away' from their forthcoming album "Scaled And Icy", and it's safe to say that the band is diving headfirst into uncharted waters with this new sound, featuring thrilling guitars and bass that will instantly remind fans of that of The Postal Service. The name "Scaled And Icy" is an enneagram for "Clancy is dead", giving fans some references from their previous album "Trench" to tie the new era with the previous one together. This new song perfectly incorporates the band's core sound with elements of alternative rock, giving off vibes of the likes of The 1975, Half Alive,...

Empty - "Hope And The Loss Of It" Album Review (One Year Of HATLOI)

Image
In 2017 a local band from Myrtle Beach hit the scene and made an impact on a small but loyal fanbase. After being signed to Solid State Records in 2019 the band made waves with an incredible debut record called "Hope And The Loss Of It". This record means a lot to the fans who have heard it and is a record that has a message that they want to get across; and since the record released a year ago today, why not revisit this record and point out why this record is a force to be reckon with. "Hope And The Loss Of It" is one of those records that hits you with emotion and grit; It's a record that harkens back to the early days of emotional hardcore with some modern twists to it. As a post-hardcore record you would think that the record comes with some of the tropes that sometimes ruins records like this but the fact of the matter is is that this is a record that takes the style and elevates it to something that you would not expect from a record of it's kind.  Th...
