Intro
The state of emo music has matured in recent years. The fans grew up with the genre, and the bands have grown with them. The Used is no exception.
The second quarter of the year tends to bring the most anticipation for new music since the summer is just around the corner. Everyone wants to find their go-to summer single to lounge by the poolside with. However, this is when some of the best spring singles come into play, more specifically lesser-known bands.
Waterparks has been around for a little over ten years now, and their sound has predominantly stayed in the realm of being pop punk. However, in recent years, their sounds has become more chaotic and unhinged. “Intellectual Property” is no exception to the rule with some hyperpop influenced tracks.
In recent years, there has been a resurgence of the pop-rock genre in popular media. With artists such as Machine Gun Kelly and Sueco making it to the charts, this new era of pop-rock is hard to ignore and sometimes meshes together. Because of this, some of the lesser known artists get outshined, one of those bands being the band Honey Revenge.
The time has come. It has been five years since the iconic third of the emo trinity, Fall Out Boy, has given the world another album. Ever since the release of “MANIA,” their fandom has been aching for something of substance, something with depth.
Nowadays, it is hard to avoid some of the most classic songs by artists that have been categorized as “emo.” Even though it has been about 17 years, people still stop dead in their tracks when they hear a G note, or they might still write sins instead of tragedies.
After a seven year wait and three singles promoting their upcoming release, Pierce The Veil (PTV) returns to the music scene with their record “The Jaws of Life.”
Every so often, a decent love song is released into the airwaves, and all of sudden, someone has a song to have their first dance to at their wedding. Love can be a beautiful thing, but it is common for someone’s heart to break.
More rock bands seem to be making their way out of the woodwork already in 2023. With Pierce The Veil’s long-awaited release and Paramore’s return just around the corner, it would be a good time to take in some of the underappreciated bands of the scene, specifically ones like Sleep Token.
As the year comes to an end, some phenomenal albums have been released. This year was particularly eventful for rock musicians. There were many great albums released, but only a few stood out.
All Time Low has become a staple pop-punk band in the past twenty years, coming out with such hits as “Dear Maria, Count Me In,” which just starts with a simple cough, and “Remembering Sunday,” which tells a simple but tragic tale of two potential lovers.
The air is getting colder, and cabin fever is getting ready to sit upon the Great Lakes. Wintertime is most notable for its dreary atmosphere, leaving Michiganders longing for warmth again.
Metal and metalcore bands have recently started getting into the mainstream charts within the past few years. By now, many are aware of who Bring Me The Horizon and Asking Alexandria are. However, sometimes there is a metalcore band that is not well known that people deserve the spotlight. Dayseeker just so happens to be one of them.
It has been a while since the music scene has seen something as vocally unique and lyrically intriguing as Palaye Royale. This band started in 2008 but did not come out with a full-length album until “Boom Boom Room” in 2016 with Sumerian Records.
Architects’ 2021 album “For Those That Wish To Exist” was considered one of the best records to come of the year. Its heaviness and radical lyricism made the metal scene wild, making it hard for any other record to come close.
No one brings back the 80s synth vibes like The 1975. Now on their fifth studio album, this English rock band has been gaining traction since 2013. Now, the group is one of the more well-known alternative rock bands of the time, and for a good reason.
It is not every day that people find a band like Hayley and the Crushers. Described as “poolside glitter punk,” this band has been on the run since 2016 with the release of “Jewel Case." This punk group's unique sound gives off the vibe of being modernly vintage, especially in their new record “Modern Adult Kicks.”
The Wonder Years made a mark on the pop-punk scene with their release “The Upsides” which debuted in 2010. Though criminally underrated, they have brought out beautiful records, starting with “The Greatest Generation.” They are undoubtedly one of the most underrated pop-punk bands in modern times.
Sueco came into the light yet again, putting into existence the deluxe version of his album “It Was Fun While it Lasted,“ released in March. The added tracks were seemingly unexpected, but a pleasant surprise for fans nonetheless.
