Album of the Month: La Dispute – Wildlife
Only one album this month is as convincing as La Dispute‘s new album Wildlife. To be honest, I only got to know the band a few months back when I saw them play in support of Touché Amoré. As strong as their live act is, the new record strikes just as hard. The emotional hardcore La … Continue reading
Album of the Month: Stray From The Path – Rising Sun

Album of the Month: For The Fallen Dreams – Back Burner
On a cold winter night in December, For The Fallen Dreams singer Dylan Richter told us that their upcoming album would “be pretty much the same.. melodic hardcore with a little more singing”. Nothing is less true. We were prepared by Dylan’s words, but it’s a record to get used to. Relentless was an outstanding … Continue reading
Album of the Month: Touché Amoré – Parting The Sea Between Brightness and Me
Unlike many other modern hardcore bands, Touché Amoré isn’t the type of band that plays low tuned guitars or write hard hitting breakdowns. I’m not even sure if I can call Touché Amoré a modern hardcore band. Only formed in 2007, they don’t seem to care about current hypes. Touché Amoré follows their own path, … Continue reading
Album of the Month: Lower Than Atlantis – World Record
It took a while before I got into Lower Than Atlantis. I saw them twice, both times supporting bands from total different genres. I attended the shows to see melodic hardcore, but got some sort of indie punk for starters. It didn’t convince me, until I heard their record Far Q. Greatly amazed by their … Continue reading
Album of the Month: Defeater – Empty Days & Sleepless Nights
After releasing groundbreaking EP Lost Ground, followed up by debut album Travels, Defeater just released their second full length album Empty Days & Sleepless Nights via Bridge Nine Records. The expectations were high, considering that their previous releases were some of the best renewing tunes we’ve heard in a long time. Empty Days & Sleepless … Continue reading

Holland’s and maybe even the world’s finest hardcore act, No Turning Back, is about to release their sixth full length album. Take Control is set for February 11th 2011 through Reflections Records. The album title promises another straight forward record, exactly what No Turning Back’s good at. “Take Control is as far from a concept … Continue reading
