Romancer - Honeybee

1. Still (Eden)

2. Nausicaa

3. Milo And Pink Regret

4. Purple

5. Stop Motion

6. Sleep

Romancer have released their second album titled "Honeybee." This album follows the same style and sound that the band came up with on their previous album. They have an ambient Emo feel that is very unique but confusing at the same time. This band has a sound that is really all their own, they go from slow to fast and slow all within one song. We like the fact the band doesn't really sound like anyone. They have done a pretty good job here. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has been recorded quite well, while still having an underground band feel to it. The instrumentation is quite good for all the changes the band does. These guys can certainly play and do it well. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals on this album are something more of a soft, soothing sound to them, but he can also bring it when the tempo changes and belt out some strong vocals. He can certainly sing, and they are all very clear lyrics. Great job overall. With the lyrics, the band goes for very real and honest subjects, these song have a way of being vague and hard to really get the meaning out of the songs, but they tend to make you focus more on the songs this way. The song Still talks about how are parents are getting older and if we still have time with them. this is a subject a lot of people are facing now in the age demographic for this band Solid job on these lyrics. If you are looking for a single to this album, the band has decided to make "Nausicaa" a single, so give it a listen to get the feel of this album. Romancer have made their second album quite similar to the previous one, and it really shows how the band is making a more mature style of this genre . The band also likes to play shows quite a bit, so they are getting out there and grabbing fans as they go. Solid job on the album. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of this album.

5. Through The Maples

6. Shirts. Versus. Blouses.

Holding.Sky have released their debut album titled "Love.Versus.Logic." This album shows the band in that alternative emo scene, having a rock sound but also screaming. This band fits in perfectly with the new style that's coming out in rock and punk right now. They have a similar sound to that of a Moneen or The Used, so if you are into either of those bands, you could really like this album. They have done a fair job on this album. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has been recorded to a pretty good quality for the time. The instrumentation here is nothing that is going to blow you away, but the band can play and they have a sound that could get them places. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals on the album are done really well, their vocalist can certainly sing and he has a voice that carries. We feel this is great for this album and style of band, we just wish the recording stood the time. With the lyrics, the band has decided to go for songs about hypocritical people, society and just how people act in general. These lyrics are somewhat able to be related to by the average public, so they can hit a decent target market with them. Not bad overall. Holding.Sky have made a debut album that really shows the sound and style the band is going for with their music. This album could a little bit in the recording quality, but it seems to have a decent sound and we feel people can get into this. Hopefully the band can get out more and bring their music to more people. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it. They have since called it quits. (R.I.P.)

Focus Fires - Happy People

1. Grieve

2. The Well

3. Happy People

Focus Fire have released their debut album titled Happy People." This album is one that hits the new Emo Punk scene right smack dab in the middle. They have a sound that a lot of bands have gone for in the recent music days. This band has a similar sound to that of Bayside or a Trash Boat, so if you are into either of those bands, you could really like this album. They have done an alright job here. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the record has been recorded to an alright standard, but the twanging of the guitar seems to take away from the quality and hide some of the vocals and background music. The instrumentation is nothing that will revolutionize music, but the band can play and they sound like they are having fun with it. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals on the album could be a little louder and more in your face here. Now we do get this is a first effort for the band but they are a little quiet here. He can certainly sing and the vocals are harmonized very well, so we can see the potential in this. Good job. With the lyrics, the band goes for messages of how to take what people are saying and believe in things, being down and not having the right person notice and relationships going sour. We feel that people can certainly relate to these lyrics and we hope that this is a release for the artist. We think that people could get into this and feel how real the music is. If you are looking for a single to this album, there isn't one, so just pick a song or listen to them all, as it is only three, and then you will get the feel of the album. Focus Fires have made a debut album that shows off the style and sound the band want to go with. We can see the potential there and the substance, we just hope to see the band get out more and be more active. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it.

They have a similar sound to that of Moneen and Brand new, so if you are into those bands, you could enjoy this album. When looking at the recording quality of this album, it has been recorded to a fair standard, but the album as a whole, including the vocals could use a bit of an upgrade to get a clearer and louder sound. The instrumentation on the album isn't bad, the band can play. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, as mentioned before, the vocals are a little quiet and could be louder and more upfront but overall they are not bad. The vocalist is clear and you can hear everything he is saying. With the lyrics, the bands goes the route of more having you interpret what the meaning is. They want you to get whatever you think the songs are about from it and read your own ideas. On the other side, they have song about your demons and that sort of thing. If you are looking for a single to this album, there isn't one, so just pick a song and give it a listen to get the idea of the album. The Vermicious Knid have made an album that shows off really what they were trying to do last album in a bigger way. They have made something people can get behind and fits the style of the time.

3. Fireworks

4. Kitchen Knife In The Bathroom

5. Haunted Mansion

6. Fire In The City

Enter Ghost have released their debut album titled "Murettes". This album is one that shows the band in a very screamo way with some synth parts here and there. Although being a little rough, you can tell the band is really has a good start. They have a similar sound to that of Drop Dead Gorgeous and Greely Estates, so if you liked those bands, you could really like this album. They have done an alright job on this album. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has a bunch of work it could use. We do understand that quality has gone up but this really needs a better recording to get the max from it. The instrumentation isn't too bad, the band can play but they are not going to make you jump out of y our seat with it. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals need a little work on both the singing and the screaming, but being a first album, it's what you expect. With a little work, both could do a great job, but right now it's just to k now what they are like. With the lyrics, the band could use some work there too, they have gone for more of a metal feel in the lyrics by just singing more angry attention getters than meaningful lyrics. This does still hold a place and is nice from time to time. If you are looking for a single to this album, there isn't one, so just pick a song and give it a listen to get the idea of the album. Enter Ghost have made a debut album that has its faults and could use some work, but it is still a good start for this band. Now they just need to get out there and be heard. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)

10. Marie DeSalle
11. The Loudest Man In The Room
12. The Weakest Man In The Room

Theatria have released their debut album titled "Theatria." This album is sort of a time bubble from about 2004, with a very emo sound. The band has quite of an AFI or The Used feel to them, so if you like those bands, you will probably like this album. They have done a pretty good job on this album. When looking at the recording quality of the album, the album has been recorded fairly decently here. The instrumentation on this album is average to a bit above average, which is nice because they are a sort of 10 years ago time zone. Now onto the lyrics and vocals, the vocals are pretty decent here, they have a great sound and you can really hear them. These vocals go along great with the music. With the lyrics, they could of been done just a tiny bit better to give a better picture of the story they are telling. If you are looking for a single for this album, there isn't one, so just pick a song and give it a listen to get the idea of the album's sound. Overall Theatria have done a good job with this album, especially for being a debut, welcome for the band. It is nice to see someone try something that people kind of forgot about and try to bring it back to the spotlight. We like what they have done and hopefully they can get more shows and attention going for themselves. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it.

1. One More Lie
2. Walter The Penniless
3. Yeah For Football
4. Pass Me My Zima (Xine)
5. Go Go Gadget Sad Songs
6. My Memory Outlives The Moment

We have added Allendale's Debut album titled "Allendale."  This album is very in the vein of the 2004-05 Emo scene that blew through North America. When we listen to this album, we get the feel of a Hawthorne Height or a Boys Night Out, so if you like them, you might like this album. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has been recorded on the average side. It could use a fair amount of work to get this up to a decent level, but it is their debut, so we get that. With the instrumentation, it was also pretty average, but they still managed to get a good sound from it. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals are a bit too screamed in places and are quite hard to tell the lyrics, while the background singer could use a bit more melody in his singing. The lyrics could use some work in being more meaningful and getting a better story out of it. If you are looking for a single for this album, there isn't one, so just pick a song and give it a listen to get the feel of the album. Allendale have done a pretty good job for a sort of welcome to album, while giving it that emo feel. Hopefully in the future, with some progression, the band could get a bit tighter.

Navy - Still Can't Stop The Sadness

1. Hey Drew

2. I Made You Small

3. Grape Juice Everywhere

4. Beneath Love Blues

5. Along Came A Summer

Navy have released their second album titled "Still Can't Stop the Sadness." This album is a continuation of the sound and style the band developed on the previous album. These guys really seem to like that indie emo sound which was pretty new when this stuff was done, but it still has a bit of an odd sound to this music. They have done an alright job on it though. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the quality is pretty good but the instrumentation is quite average here. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals seem to be quite weird, with the screeching a times vocals and the out of place screamed vocals, it is just a little messy. The lyrics on this album could use a little work as well to be more meaningful and less abstract. Navy have done an alright job here on their second album, but the experimentation seems to be just a little too much, however we do give them props for trying. Navy have a few things they could tweak, so we are just not able to get into this, we do hope you give it a listen to decide for yourself what you think of it. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)

Around Tiffany have released their debut full length album "We Forgot...But This Is Our Reminder." This album is one that really shows a new band, the potential they have and really introduces you to the band as a whole. The band has very Emo and Screamo feel to them, which they do pretty well. When looking at this album as a whole in regards to the quality of the album, the album has been done alright, but could use some work. With the instrumentation, they seem to be able to play the songs decently, so thats a good sign here. Looking at the vocals, the screamer seems to be the stronger of the two vocals you here as the singer as a bit of a whine in his voice but on the other side, the lyrics sound pretty decent. If you are looking for a single for this album, there isn't one, so just pick a song and listen so you get t he idea of how the album sounds. Around Tiffany have something here that could really work. If they just keep working at it, with some progression and a few tweaks here and there, this could really go somewhere.
