“To follow trends or not to follow.” That is the question. Like it or not, we live in a culture that rewards those who can do what millions of others have done before and often shuns those who may go against the grain.  While many acts are still doing what Atreyu did nearly 10 years ago or are trying to do what A Day To Remember is doing now, there are still those who prefer ignore... 

  An album is only as good as its story. Everything comes from somewhere, but the ones that take you through a time in life, that bring out an emotion those are the ones that are golden. This is the case for The Wonder Years new album Suburbia, I have given you all and now I am Nothing. The albums title is a spinoff of Allen Ginsberg America, “Suburbia I’ve given you all and now I am nothing,... 

Photo courtesty of Mike Cubillos of Earshot Media Love ‘em or hate ‘em, Attack Attack! is back, and by the looks of it, they’re here to stay for a while. Despite mixed feelings from critics and music lovers alike regarding their modern metalcore-meets-auto-tune/synthpop (and let’s not forget about the “Stick Stickly” video), they’ve still gone on to sell over... 

I meant to write this review approximately three years ago (Ed.- this might be an exaggeration) but I’ve just been seriously distracted over the last couple of weeks, one way or another. That said, I’ve listened to basically nothing but the Green Room Rockers for the past two weeks, and I think my impressions have finally started to gel to a point that I’m ready to write. A few weeks ago, the... 

It’s one thing for a band to generate buzz, but before they even make their first public appearance? A feat like that is almost unheard of, and leave it to the Indy Music Scene for giving us a band that did just that. Noctura has been in the works for a few years now.  Through hard work, dedication and utilizing the social networks, they’ve built a loyal fan base around the world, had... 

Times change.  That’s a given. What was popular one day may not be the next; lineup changes are always an issue; and sometimes things like a shattered elbow can sideline you for longer than you want. Despite all that, The Holland Account is still here to rock the local scene to its foundation. A mainstay in the Indy Music Scene since 2004, THA has made their name through engaging live shows... 

If you love local music you have probably had a chance to catch the guys in Sweatshirt Weather do a set, you have probably listened to their first EP, and you might even follow them on Facebook. The band who began by making music bi-coastally over the internet realized years ago that their sound was something that needed to be heard, and they were right. Now the band that has been gaining huge ground... 

The anticipated return of Yellowcard, with their seventh studio released album in March ‘When You’re Through Thinking, Say Yes” has finally graced my ears and forever made its way onto my playlist. Granted, I’m somewhat delayed in my review of Yellowcard’s album, but better late than never I say…and this is definitely better! Having been away from the music scene since the release of their... 

Bayside released their sixth full length album Killing Time on February 22, 2011. Making an impressive mark on the Billboard Top 200 at 35, the album is yet another step forward for one of the most popular “under the radar” bands of the 2000’s. I’ve concocted my own system for this particular album, including track name, length, best line (there are plenty to choose from in every Bayside song),... 

Hardcore aggressive punk. Old school is more like the teacher these days. Agnostic Front is one of the hidden icons and main influences for true New York hardcore punk. Their legacy is around 30 years long and helped build the foundation for other punk bands such as Madball, Murphy’s Law, Ruiner, and many more. The Dropkick  Murphys have even listed Agnostic Front in their song entitled...
