So here's my problem: I'm incredibly nostalgic. And by nostalgic, I mean that I'm still in love with a band that I loved when I was an immature 12 year-old with severe identity issues. The band grew, the fanbase shrunk, and they decided to take a break because they were sick of each other. Then I was in my dorm bed this past winter, and Fall Out Boy was like, "yeah, we might as well make a new album and get back together." Thanks, boys. Patrick, Pete, Joe and Andy are back at it and they're going on a sold out [...]

Sam Vicari keeps it simple. The Chicago-based Vicari's songs have an electric pulse, but bear the imprint of a singer/songwriter, with themes touching on heartbreak, alienation and Midwestern ennui. That's not to say that the record is a sad-sack, cry in your beer lament. Vicari harnesses the power pop hooks and sunny on the outside exterior of classic 90s alternative acts, recalling Pinkerton -era Weezer, Bob Mould's poppier Sugar moments, and the smart, biting lyricism that has given Superdrag such longevity. "My favorite bands and musicians have always been the ones who are very simple, sincere, and honest in [...]

The Hunting Room is the debut album for Her Royal Harness. The conception of Norwegian songwriter Helene Jaeger, Her Royal Harness is described as a romanticist, catharsis driven take on genre-synthesist pop.

However, the two had a lot in common, kept talking and gradually sensed that their two contrasting approaches to making music combined to make something distinctive and emotionally potent. Having worked out some early songs [...]
