Read More “Story of the Year – “Tear Me to Pieces” Video”Review: The Wonder Years – The Hum Goes On Forever
Has there ever been a more emo opening on an album than on The Wonder Years “Doors I Painted Shut” as lead vocalist Dan Campbell croons, “I don’t wanna die / At least not without you / Alone here in the August heat / In the shadows of the afternoon”? The Wonder Years’ latest studio album, entitled The Hum Goes On Forever, may be their best record to date and features several unique callbacks to the sound they have perfected over their collective careers. The set was produced by Steve Evetts and veteran hit-maker Will Yip, and the album sounds like a million bucks. The Hum Goes On Forever also features two outside collaborators/writers on “Wyatt’s Song (Your Name)” (Mark Hoppus) and “Oldest Daughter” (Ace Enders), and showcases a band blossoming gracefully in the later stages of their career.
After the cautious opening song, the album explodes into “Wyatt’s Song (Your Name),” the third single released, and possibly one of my favorite songs that the band has ever crafted to date. I found the verse of “I found glass in the garden / Dug it up with my thumb / I won’t let you cut your feet / When you learn to run / But you learned to say, “Moon” / So, we waved from your room / He called to you like it might come to you,” to be particularly well-written since it reminded me a bit of the relationship I have with my kids and wanting to protect them from the worst situations.

Recently I was able to catch up on the road with the ultra-talented band, Caracara, for an in-depth interview about the process they took while recording their latest record New Preoccupations. I asked the band about specific songs like “My Thousand Eyes,” “Colorglut” and more as well as what went into deciding the final tracklisting for the album. Be sure to catch Caracara on their current US tour with Sad Park and Heart To Gold.

Review: Band of Silver – Something Stronger
I would like to introduce everyone to Band of Silver, an alternative rock band out of Nashville, Tennessee that has all the right tools working in their favor for sustained success in the music industry. The band, which is comprised of three siblings, worked under the direct tutelage of veteran producer Mike Green (Paramore, All Time Low) to helm the songs that would become Something Stronger. This frenetic mix of arena-ready anthems showcases the band’s ability to convey a wide range of emotions through their slick pop songs.

Today is a great day to share the latest single from Alternative rock duo Flarelight, called “One More Night.” This great-sounding rock track comes from the band’s forthcoming new LP The Light We Make and the tight production found on this song and others showcases the limitless possibilities of this artist. The band is comprised of Rachel Brandsness and band leader Tyler Warren, who shared some insight on the single by saying, “Do you really want to stay the night…Do you really want to say goodbye…a situation that most of us have been in, I’m sure. Wondering if that person you met tonight could be the one that heals your broken heart… or not. Either way, you’ll at least share this one moment together. I love this track, our guitar work, and its hopefulness, and it leaves you wanting more, just like the story itself.” If you’ve been searching for that next breakthrough artist, look no further than Flarelight.
