Read moreVIDEO: Point North – “Dearly Departed”
It seems like it’s been entirely too long since another great emo band has popped onto our radar, and trust us, we’ve been looking. Enter Point North; a LA-based band that reminds you of the glory days of hard-hitting pop punk dominating the early morning TV airwaves.

Read moreReview: “Night People” – You Me At Six
It’s been three years since You Me At Six’s last album, Cavalier Youth, which found huge success but was ultimately their most forgettable album to date. While sounding great all thanks to producer Neal Avron, it overdid the whole radio friendly sound. It wasn’t what fans expected especially after an album as dark as Sinners Never Sleep.

The layering of background vocals and echos are subtle details that

Don’t call it a comeback. Today we have a new Sum 41 album. After a very impressive record in 2011’s “Screaming Bloody Murder”, the band faced tons of adversity. The biggest setback, however, was the serious condition of Deryck Whibley, who was placed in a medically-induced coma in 2014. Whibley lost control of all of his motor skills, meaning he
