Read moreBest of ’15 (#1): Marianas Trench – Astoria
Albums with zero skippable tracks are a rarity these days but here’s comes Marianas Trench with something absolutely special. The band have always been known to add some theatrical flair to their albums and with Astoria, they take it to the next level. They’ve given 110% and it shows. From a Goonies inspired cover to having a full orchestra, this
Read moreBest of ’15 (#2): Bring Me The Horizon – That’s The Spirit
Remember when everyone thought Bring Me The Horizon were going nowhere after Suicide Season? Not only did they prove the haters wrong but people started taking them seriously. Fast forward to 2015 and we have their most impressive album yet. It may not leave you moshing but it’ll rock the hell out of you. Oli Sykes vocals have gone through
Read moreBest of ’15 (#3): Twenty One Pilots – Blurryface
2015 was HUGE for Twenty One Pilots. If you haven’t heard of them before you sure do now. Blurryface is the band’s first album to hit number one on the billboard 200 and it’s well deserved. It’s crazy blend of indie, electronic, reggae, hip hop, and pop will have you finding it hard to put this album down. There’s something
Read moreBest of ’15 (#4): The Maine – American Candy
The Maine have managed to make the most Maine album yet. Seriously, everything you love about them have been fine tuned and mixed together to create ten killer tracks. John O’s bubblegum pop lyrics and rock and roll voice will leave you bobbing your head and even randomly dancing on certain songs. Kennedy and Jared’s catchy as hell guitars on
Read moreBest of ’15 (#5): Fall Out Boy – American Beauty/American Psycho
There is just no stopping Fall Out Boy. The band continue to gain momentum by following up their massive comeback album, Save Rock And Roll, with American Beauty/American Psycho. An incredible pop album that took a lot of balls for these guys to make. Not only the first to not feature guest vocalists but the first to feature samples such
Read moreBest of ’15 (#6): Death Cab For Cutie – Kintsugi
Sigh….it’s really a bummer that hardly anyone gave this album a shot dispute loving Black Sun. Kintsugi is an album that’ll make you realize why you love Death Cab. The melancholy in Ben Gibbard’s voice and lyrics. The beautiful and sometimes loud instrumentals. Unlike Codes and Keys, this is 100% them, doing what they’re good at while evolving slightly in
Read moreBest of ’15 (#7): Estates – It’s Great To Be Alone
This is the album that made me love my local music scene. Raw, in your face, and catchy as hell. Mike, Charlie, and Matt provide wonderful aggressive and mellow vocals while killing it at each of their instruments. 2016 should hold bigger and better things for Milwaukee’s own Estates. I highly recommend giving this one a listen. I think you’ll
Read moreBest of ’15 (#8): As It Is – Never Happy, Ever After
What happens when you combine Taking Back Sunday, All Time Low, and The Starting Line together? Why you get England’s very own As It Is of course. In a year where good pop punk is in short supply, Never Happy, Ever After brings back that spark of why we love this genre. High energy, super catchy, and relatable lyrics
Read moreBest of ’15 (#9): Enter Shikari – The Mindsweep
Like fine wine, Enter Shikari continue to get better and better and this album is no exception. With a sound that grabs the listeners by the ears with lyrics unlike anything else they’re listening to at the time. Unlike writing about personal and relatable things, Enter Shikari write about the world around them and warn listeners. While some people might
Read moreBest of ’15 (#10): 5 Seconds Of Summer – Sounds Good Feels Good
While some songs on this album should have stayed on the cutting room, 5SOS are starting to find their own identity and sound. I enjoyed this a hell of a lot better than the self titled. The lyrics are more relatable, tackling depression, family issues, and of course, relationships. The band once again teams up with producer John Feldmann for
Read moreThe Ten Worst Songs Of 2015
This year was pretty damn incredible for music. The top 40s had nothing but awesome number one songs. However, I managed to find plenty of black sheep from pop to hip hop to shoegaze. Here we go! Meghan Trainor – Dear Future Husband Oh boy…first off, I like Meghan Trainor. I think she’s a talented vocalist who made some
