Four Year Strong – when these guys appeared on my radar, they pretty much changed my whole pop punk listening experience. Before discovering this band, I didn’t know about ‘easycore’ (though these guys probably helped put it on the map) and was blown away. How can such heavy music have catchy lyrics and melodies? It was a match made in heaven. Let’s not forget the TBS dual-vocal style from the two vocalists which was icing on the cake.

Let’s speak in breaths ’cause we can say more without using words and you’re my favorite topic
Stages And Stereos is one of those bands that haven’t really broken out despite churning out top notch tracks for years. If you’re a fan of pop punk/emo with solid vocals, lyrics and hooks, look no further. An added bonus if you’re into sad songs because these guys know how to write them.

So, I admit, I’ve never been a fan of older music. Songs from before I learnt how to appreciate them. Stuff that my parents used to listen to. Then again, I didn’t learn how to appreciate music until much later in life anyway.
