New Found Glory - Makes Me Sick

New Found Glory

Makes Me Sick

Available Now

The New Found Glory album is to be sure a fresh breath of life into the pop-punk scene, but it’s lacking something. I’ve given it a few listen-throughs, and while I definitely enjoyed the album, it just left me hungry for something more.

The album itself, Makes Me Sick, starts off with "Your Jokes Aren’t Funny" and was a good start to the album, but there was no song that drove the whole thing home. No song that punched my eardrums, which makes the album pretty lackluster. 

I honestly enjoyed it, but it’s missing a hit. Bands change over time by developing their sound, New Found Glory hasn't. My favorite song off the album is "Party On Apocalypse." I enjoyed the upbeat tone to the song a lot.

The Flatliners

Inviting Light

Out Now!

The new album by Canadian punks The Flatliners, Inviting Light, is an absolute
Banger of an album. It’s a good mix of thrashy punk songs and a few slower more
melodic songs. This album is a clear progression of The Flatliners sound and it’s
awesome to see. 

My favorite song on the album is Hang My Head, it’s a quick song, with a nice
bridge, and angry lyrics. It’s kind of a self-empowering song, and it’s one I love to
run to. You can check out the video for Human Party Trick below:

The Flatliners are currently on tour overseas with Weezer and will be going on
tour with The Menzingers in mid-April. They will be coming back to their
homeland of Canada in the summer but have no current US dates listed on their
website.

Wasted Mind

The new Direct Hit! album Wasted Mind is by far one of the greatest things we have ever listened to.  The tone of the album is set from the get go when they tell people over 40 not to listen because it’ll make them mad in the opening track, 'A Message to Young People.' 

This album is one of the best released so far this year, the fast pace the beats, and lyrics are ones that inspire jumping around, which makes us wonder what a live show would be like. No need to worry, though. Direct Hit! will be in Boston on July 9th. 

With a true punk sound the album brings up memories of older Green Day and even The Ramones, Direct Hit! have an instant classic with Wasted Mind.
