When Issues released their debut EP in late 2012, I was severely impressed by it and I was amply stoked when they announced that they would be recording a full-length in 2013. At the same time I had some minor doubts as to whether they could keep up the high level of the EP…luckily the …

The Animal In Me – Who’s Laughing Now
I always try to keep up with new bands and therefor I am subscribed to a channel on YouTube that regularly puts up new videos by newcomers. That’s how I came across The Animal In Me and their song End Of The Road. One thing upfront: after listening to that one song, they managed to …
Sianvar – Sianvar EP
Initially, my plan was to review the handful of albums that I didn’t get to do last year, either because they came out too late or due to me simply missing their release. However, I did stumble over this little gem which marks a great start into 2014, since it was released on January 5th! …
Confide – All Is Calm
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. Three years after disbanding in 2010, the band decided to give it another go due to enormous demand from their fan base. Since I quite enjoyed their …
Secrets – Fragile Figures
While 2013 has been an amazing musical year for me thus far, the post-hardcore front has been severely unsaturated. This is all about to change in the coming weeks though, with the first contestant being SECRETS with their second album Fragile Figures. And oh boy, what a monster it is! If there is one thing …
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 …
Sleeping With Sirens – Feel
If there’s one criticism people sometimes utter when it comes to music that I absolutely despise, it would be “Band XYZ’s new album sucks because it sounds nothing like their old stuff”. Seriously? If you want a band to sound the same as you’re used to, just go listen to their previous records. I, for …
The Words We Use – Morals
It’s a bit slow in the post-hardcore department when it comes to new releases, so I’ve decided to write about an EP that came out in June 2012 but I’ve only stumbled upon recently: Morals by The Words We Use. Let me just say this right off the bat: the four song (five including the …
Crown The Empire – The Fallout
It’s almost the end of the year and yet I’ve managed to be surprised by another record: Crown The Empire‘s The Fallout. In line with the last three reviews it’s metalcore, yet again; but this time of the finest kind. So sit back and enjoy the read! When you first put on this new band’s …
Issues – Black Diamonds
Today’s review will constitute the first part of a comparison of two different records. The reason I’m doing this is because today’s record features several ex-members of the band I’m going to review next week, mainly the two former lead singers. So, let’s start, shall we? Issues was formed in mid 2012 and quickly decided …
