Nepotism's last EP Black Sheep was hard to consolidate into one genre, instead tackling quite a few at once with atmosphere, ambition and plenty of aggression as well. They take action in spitting fiery flows as well as taking a gaze at their shoes to built an ambiance as well. 2015 finds the band back in the studio working on a new project and also releasing their newest single 'Televisions.' 

This EP is hard to classify and almost as hard to write about. It is refreshing yet familiar. It has a feel of oldies music while adding a great amount of variety to keep it new aged. We Leave At Midnight help take classic rock, shoegaze and indie music to a new place on this EP Terror Flora.

Four Year Strong is ambitious as ever. Finally we have new dynamics from a band that just did not put them together efficiently on In Some Way, Shape Or Form.

Nick Powell has always been a musician I have admired for his ability to craft interesting melodies together. He was the guitarist and primary writer for a small hardcore band A Past Unknown before and now shows off his musicianship on Unsettled. These five tracks are short and sweet, never overstaying their welcome but always offering a ton of comfort and a bit of shock value by how delicate they appear. 

Sean discusses another modern classic, Phoenix's album, Wolfgang Amadeus.

In this series, Sean is going to be discussing every single Every Time I Die release starting with the new Salem EP!

The vocals can be extremely off putting for some, but my extreme love for the spacey atmosphere has me welcoming this approach. What Diamond Youth really does well is blend all of this music together with great taste. They don't reinvent the wheel, but instead spin it with their own fuzzy power.

It's alright if you've never heard After The Fall, but this new record should at least punch people in the heart hard enough that people remember their name. Dedication is what the name says, a dedicated album to a friend that passed away. Every single song is in reference to the feelings of losing a friend too young in life.

Harbor released their EP Without Color on April 20th. I stated that this band was a shoegaze/post-punk band and that really labels them well, but they do not have to be stuck in this specific genre definition, really they create just simple feel good music.

Peripheral Vision is a mix of emo, shoe-gaze and pop punk. Turnover never shy away from their strengths, allowing their ability to create dynamics shine.

From the first few seconds of Ishamel's new EP, Mention, one can hear the talent seeping out of the spastic guitar riffs and complex time signatures. The trio hails from the deep indie scene of New York City, and their music sounds like the city itself in a way.

4th 'N Goal hail from Italy and created a marvelous, singable anthem on their newest EP, Turn On The Light.

Sean discusses Manchester Orchestra's incredible album Mean Everything To Nothing, and explains what makes this record such a classic.

Harbor is a shoegaze/post-rock/whatever you want to call it because it's good, band from California. I actually met the bass player on a forum that Jason Butler was holding over the internet one day to bring the fan base together. Ever since, he and I have pal'ed around on the internet, and he is a down to earth guy. Anyways, I chatted with him about their new EP and how life is in general. Read our discussion!
