letlive. share second new single, “Reluctantly Dead”
May 9th, 2016 Kacy Raby “You can tell me that they came here to protect you. But I would rather run, because now the law results in my death.” Someone recently asked, “Where are all the revolution songs?” In an age filled with bipartisanship and political rage, many musicians seem reluctant to touch on the subject aside from a casual […]

The Fall Of Troy return to form with video for new single, “Inside Out”
April 18th, 2016 Kacy Raby We can probably all recall the circumstances that got us into The Fall Of Troy. For me, it was when I was 16 years old and a friend recommended their song “Ghostship Pt IV” when I asked for more challenging songs to learn on guitar. Needless to say, it kept me quite busy. Now, I’m […]

letlive. share new track, “Good Mourning, America”
April 6th, 2016 Kacy Raby letlive. have always given off an air of “urban underground.” Something about their music just screams city streets and making the best of rough situations. In their new track—the first off their upcoming full-length, If I’m The Devil (due out on June 10 through Epitaph Records)—they portray much less of a frantic feel than their […]

March 24th, 2016 Kacy Raby The state of post-hardcore seems to be, thankfully, ever fluctuating. As a sub-genre, it is incredibly diverse, containing borderline metalcore acts (The Word Alive, Of Mice & Men) and proggy noodlers (Dance Gavin Dance, Hail The Sun) alike. It makes one wonder what truly defines any genre, let alone this one. There could probably be […]

January 22nd, 2016 Brian Leak Mid-to-late 2000s post-hardcore is alive and well in 2016 and we have zero complaints, as long as it’s good of course.

Pleasingly reminiscent of genre favorites Saosin, HRVRD, Tides Of Man, PMtoday and newer acts in the vein […]
