New efforts from Sing It Loud, I Set My Friends On Fire and I Am Ghost

Sing It Loud – Come Around – Sept 23

Produced by Motion City Soundtrack guitarist Josh Cain, and mixed by Mark Trombino (Jimmy Eat World, Blink 182), Come Around combines bright catchy melodies, buzzing synths and rocking riffs for one of the year’s most vibrant power-pop albums.

Tackling the timeless subject of young love and heartache with a playful attitude that makes even the worst teenage dramas seem doable, Sing It Loud have crafted eleven non-stop, head-bopping songs like the contagious, hook laden title track “Come Around,” the defiant “Don’t Save Me,” the emotive sing-along “Best Beating Heart” and next summer’s anthem “Over You.” The long player also includes cameos by Justin Pierre of Motion City Soundtrack on “We’re Not Afraid” and All Time Low’s Alex Gaskarth on “No One Can Touch Us.”

I Set My Friends On Fire – You Can’t Spell Slaughter Without Laughter – Oct 7

I Set My Friends On Fire’s You Can’t Spell Slaughter Without Laughter melts the precocious duo’s cracked sense of humor with an onslaught of thrash angular guitar riffs, pulsing dance beats, brutal breakdowns, sassy screams and lush melodic choruses to create 12 of the most ironic and original tracks heard in years.

Best known for their grindcore cover of Soulja Boy’s "Crank That," ISMFOF’s debut is a virtual workout, physically, aurally and intellectually.

Produced by Travis Richter of From First To Last, You Can’t Spell Slaughter Without Laughter is an inspired combination of pop, hardcore and electronica.

I Am Ghost – Those We Leave Behind – Oct 7

California’s dark-rock quintet return with their sophomore album,Those We Leave Behind – fourteen turbulent tracks of classic screamo. Combining sharp metallic riffs and soaring melodic choruses with tragic lyrics of lost love and demise, Those We Leave Behind is a non-stop torrent of brooding passion-fueled rock with immediate accessibility featuring the massive anthem “Don’t Wake Up,” the ode to the fallen “Those We Leave Behind” and a heart wrenching tale of “The Saddest Story Never Told.”
