Call It Off – Liars EP

The latest offering from Dutch four piece Call It Off is the ‘Liars’ EP, released on March 14th through White Russian Records. Only the second release in their short twelve-month lifespan, ‘Liars’ presents five tracks of very well crafted and confidently executed saccharine pop punk. ‘Liars’ opens with the punchy

Seahaven’s new album, ‘Reverie Lagoon: Music for Escapism Only’ takes the band into an awesome new direction. It’s rare to find bands that evolve so much from one album to another, but even rarer to find those that do it so well. The whole album feels more honest and

Chiodos are certain to garner a lot of attention with ‘DEVIL’. It is the band’s fourth album and the first to feature founding member Craig Owens on vocals since his well-documented return to the band in 2012, after he was briefly replaced by Brandon Bolmer for ‘Illuminaudio’ in
