Review

The Dream Is Over is out May 27th on SideOneDummy, and let me just tell you that not only is it more of that Pup flavor, it’s new and improved.

This isn’t ‘Blue’ or ‘Pinkerton’, but after a prequel trilogy of ‘Raditude’, ‘Hurley’, and ‘Everything Will Be Alright In The End’, Weezer, with the White Album, have finally given us their own ‘The Force Awakens’. 

Created over the entirety of a year, Amarillo Tapes are 22 low-fi songs written and performed by Carmen Cirignano, vocalist of Young Statues. The two part, hour-long journey is fueled by a delicate acoustic guitar, but is distinguished by its use of echoing and slumberous harmonicas, synths, keys, drums and electric guitars – which come and go as they please.

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. 

Although they’ve been consistent in putting out multiple releases each year since their inception, Joy, Departed might just be the collection of songs to really put Sorority Noise on the map. Just by the end of track 1, it’s evident that Joy, Departed will be a monumental album for the band, exemplifying the heavily emotional spirit and driving lead guitar parts that fuel the rest of the record.

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.'

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. 

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.

The single came to me last Friday via a random link on Twitter.com, home of the precious #content, and I haven’t stopped listening to it since. Bohica, from Cheshire, England might be that dream-punk fix you’ve been looking for.

Pope's new record, Fiction, is full of droning low energy tracks that hum along blasting your ears with fuzzy riffs and low key vocals that sporadically burst through the web of sound.

Speedy Ortiz's new album, Foil Deer, shows incredible songwriting, addicting jams, and more than anything else, limitless potential to continue providing us listeners with more of the same for a long time.
