Album Review: Worst/Rust Proof Split - 'Violent Assault From The Southern Sphere'

Two bands, four songs, one great release.

Features / Music

If you ask Jayden Seeley from With Confidence what represents depression to him, then the Harry Potter lovers among their fan base will probably get a kick out of the name of this new track.

Billy Talent Want To Kick Rock Music In The Ass, Almost Succeed

Billy Talent have been around for a long time now, 17 years in fact. In that time, they would have seen a lot of trends and bands come and go. As their latest song suggests, they want to ensure good ol' fashion rock music survives.

Blink-182 Aren't Going Down The Rabbit Hole

In case you’ve been living under a very, very big rock, Blink-182 are back and they're now set to release their new album on July 1st.

Sylar To Drop New Album In August

Recent Hopeless Records signees, Sylar, and are due to drop their latest album 'Help!' on August 26th.
