The Used "After finding success with hits like “Taste of Ink” and “Buried Myself Alive” , The Used are ready to topple the theory of the sophomore slump with their second album In Love and Death. After debuting in the top 10 on the album charts and receiving positive buzz by critics, bassist Jeph Howard feels they just may have gotten over the hunch and are ready to continue touring. Rockpulse recently talked to Jeph while the guys were on the road promoting their album." Read More...

Senses Fail - Let It Enfold You "Keeping a typically pop-punk sound, Senses Fail show us they can take the sound they made popular in NJ's local scene and take it all the way to mainstream stardom. The lead single "Buried A Lie" (I assume it's a play on the phrase buried alive) best exemplifies what their debut major label, Let It Enfold You, is all about: 3 cords, infidelities, and broken hearts."

Saves The Day - Irving Plaza-NY, NY "Irving Plaza is not a big venue. But, selling it out is considered a big deal. Thusly, New Jersey natives and local scene gods, Saves The Day, did just that last Thursday night and left no one in the aforementioned sold out crowd disappointed." Read More...

Daisy Ricochet - Need Review "When I recieved the press letter for the NYC based band, Daisy Ricochet, I was apprehensive. Other critics had the audaciousness to compare the band to such supreme rock acts as Everclear, Foo Fighters, and dare they even mention, Radiohead." Read More...

Dashboard Confessional - A Mark A Mission A Brand A Scar Reissue Review "The first time this album came out last summer it got rave reviews from top name music magazines everywhere. I read the hype without ever giving any of the record, minus its mind numbingly catching single "Hands Down", much of a listen. When the reissue came my way a few weeks back I found this a prime opportunity to see what all the hype was about." Read More...

Tyler Hilton "Twenty-year-old California native Tyler Hilton is already feeling the effects of his impending fame. And, it is not because he shares any relation to that of a more famous Hilton. In other words they’re not related and no sex tape, at least not yet." Read More...

Audio Learning Center "Cope Park, the sophomore release from Vagrant’s Indie darlings Audio Learning Center, reflects a somber mood. It’s combination of almost grunge-like cords and stomping beats is balanced by less thrashing moments like vocalist Chris Brady’s straightforward singing style." Read More...

Mr North "The up and coming Irish rock quartet, mrnorth, got together in the late 90’s and made a name for themselves in their hometown of Dublin as well as in Vicenza, Italy. Now they hope to do the same here in America and lead singer and guitarist, Colin Smith, knows talking about his music is the way of doing it, yet like many young men now a days he’s get one thing on his mind: Angelina Jolie."

No Motiv "SoCal rockers No Motiv are ready to “Party Hard” as they embark on a tour this spring with metal head love child Andrew WK. The quartet, which formed in Oxnard, California in 1995, has always found themselves unsure of where they fit in a touring climate. But, they are excited to be touring in support of their third album “Daylight Breaking” with an artist that draws as unique and diverse an audience as Andrew WK." Read More...
