DC duo Origami Angel defy all definitions of genre with the eight-song mixtape The Brightest Days, blending ukulele and surf rock with hardcore-reminiscent breakdowns and their signature guitar riffs, sometimes within seconds of one another

The ever-eclectic Tyler Posey follows in the footsteps of the recent mainstream pop-punk revival with Unravel, his debut LP which evokes a nostalgic sense of comfort, while still bringing a slick and modern sense of style. The album pays homage to the early 2000’s radio rock scene, with influences such as Blink-182 and Linkin Park shining through, sometimes very heavily and other times interpolated very subtly. At a monstrous sixteen tracks, the album rarely lets up the energy and is the perfect contender for a windows-down listen.

Freak of Nature, the full-length follow-up to 2021’s Thoughtz and Prayerz EP, sees Cleveland-based rock outfit Heart Attack Man at their most polished, focused, and refined to date, with all the powerful hooks and aggressive attitude that have brought the band to notoriety.
