Some of these acts were taken from us before their time, while others imploded due to overwhelming apathy. Herewith our look at all of them, good and bad and who? . Thanks again to Matt Neatock for the video production assistance. Please hold your applause until the end. Read More...

Don't Miss This: The Academy Is…

The Academy Is...: Same Blood (TOUR VIDEO)
For this week's post, I am expecting many people to disagree with my choice. I encounter the same problem when I tell people that I listen to Panic(!) at the Disco or Fall Out Boy; there seems to be an assumption that if a band has written some catchy songs or is enjoyed by a massive amount of people that somehow there is no need to listen to their music because it will be terrible. I sincerely hope that changes. Exhibit A: Santi , the sophomore album by The Academy Is. When this [...]

"Landmarks" by Hoodlums has a sound we would have loved to see The Academy Is… head... "Landmarks" by Hoodlums has a sound we would have loved to see The Academy Is… head towards; dark, 80's influenced pop-rock instead of high school sunshine-pop . This "city-pop" chorus captures the hook without being too cliche instrumentally. We're into it. The visuals on their site are perfect for the song. LANDMARKS (radio edit) by HOODLUMS
