This past week I’ve been constantly listening to So Wrong, It’s Right by All Time Low, as well as Motion City Soundtrack‘s amazing new record, Even If It Kills Me. I’d also encourage everyone to check out Four Year Strong, this group is a breath of fresh air and flawlessly combine so many unique styles into one unrelenting powerful sound.
Bryce Jacobson
If you haven’t picked up Motion City Soundtrack‘s new album, Even If It Kills Me, you need to go do that right now. Once you’ve done that you should be to check out Farewell‘s new album, Isn’t This Suppose To Be Fun?, in stores on Tuesday. These guys are putting the fun back into rock.
Getting ready for next week, you should give your ears a treat and listen to The Quick And The Dead‘s new album here. These guys are destine to make many ears happy!
