Down tempo hardcore street metal band Yuth Forever (formerly known as Villians) takes aim with it's newest LP Freudian Slip at what it is like to live with chest crushing anxiety. It is all aptly stated by a robotic voice pleading to not be left alone backed by a terror driven whirring on opening song 'Lost In Translation.'

I Can Dream is a hardcore act hailing form New York. The group is comprised of members from Young English and other bands that were in the scene around the area. The Alternative sat down with vocalist Peter J Bruno to discuss the upcoming music, pizza and how art manifests itself through music.

Deathwish Records are reissuing a hardcore/emo relic from the band Planes Mistaken For Stars. The band was an influential powerhouse in the early 2000s, releasing three huge albums before dissolving in 2007. Mercy was the group's last hurrah of a record, originally released in 2006.

"Ambient power chords mesh with pop-punk emotional lyrical prowess and metal as hell double bass drums." The Seaside EP is a grouping of modern rock tracks intertwined together with a thematic lyrical theme of nautical focus.

Better Days is an album that screams for hip-hop fans alike to listen to. The duo that is Sean Anonymous & Dimitri Killstorm pack a bunch of larger than life beats with compelling wordplay. For an underground release, this project has a lot of tenacity and ambition to snowball into many album of the year lists.

What's Eating Gilbert's debut album expands on the work Chad Gilbert has been showcasing in the past releases of this project. His various musical styles show his natural songwriting talent. That New Sound You're Looking For is a lively rock album depicting a singer madly in love with a woman. ^^Hayley^^^Williams^^^shoutout.

United By Birdcalls is a record laced with vivacious melodies amidst a singer's longing to expel his emotions. Hodera's debut album is nothing short of a solid release.

As many people know, the Fourth of July is one of the most prestigious and well known nationwide celebrations of any proud individual. While I and the rest of The Alternative will be celebrating, I wanted to leave a post about songs that will be on my playlist this weekend.

Let us take a look at all the magnificent albums released on June 30th of this year!

For fans of A Lot Like Birds they must know that guitarist Michael Franzino departed for two months to be entirely secluded and write an album. Naturally, he named the project alone. and knowing his writing style it became an ambitious project that is full of vivacious layers and dare I say genius composition. 

Northbound make a point to connect with people and have multiple anthems to sing along with making us feels just a little bit better. Death Of A Slug is a viciously catchy record with twelve more songs for pop-punk fans to shout along with.

Four different engineers, eight emotional tracks and 32 minutes of time make up Heaven Is Earth. For fans of the band, this album is not a far away from their previous work. The visceral appeal on some spots offer parts to rally behind. The music is always on point, blending various moods and instruments into songs that feel as destructive as they do pessimistic.

Where My Bones Rest Easy find a way to be abrasive in their own manner. These five tracks are a great way to showcase all the talent this band has to offer. Each song is distinguishable from the next or the previous, allowing for their tunes to have a memorable impact on the listener.
