As I said last time: post-hardcore releases are swarming in these days! Our next one is Confide‘s third album All Is Calm, which was entirely funded through Kickstarter.

Secrets – Fragile Figures
While 2013 has been an amazing musical year for me thus far, the post-hardcore front has been severely unsaturated.

I The Mighty – Satori
Post-hardcore fans rejoice: the drought is finally over! June marks the release of I The Mighty‘s debut album Satori which, to me, is the first true release of the genre this year! When the band released their single Speak To Me in April I was severely stoked and was expecting to be completely blown away …
