ATP! Album Review: The Front Bottoms - Talon Of The Hawk

In such a short space of time, The Front Bottoms have managed to acquire a cult following worldwide and tours with Motion City Soundtrack, Say Anything and Bad Books have only helped propel them into the limelight. With their self titled debut released in 2011, they really reinvented their genre. Laced with simplistic power chords, awkward lyrics and uptempo drums that sounds nothing like every other punk record. However, with any band's first album, they have the first part of their life to write it and only 2 years to rehash that formula and write the follow-up, will this ring true with The Front Bottoms though?

Starting off with 'Adios (Au Revoir),' the short but quirky song takes the miscommunication and accusations of a relationship and lends them nicely to a simplistic, yet infectious, chorus. 'Skeleton' however, retains the simplistic nature of the previous song but it doesn't feel as accessible on a first listen and falls short. The band chooses not to censor themselves with fireworks like they did on 'Mountain' (from their 2011 debut album) and instead Sella sings about getting "so stoned" that he "fell asleep in the front seat".

ATP! Album Review: Demi Lovato - Demi

Demi Lovato first flew into the spotlight when she was picked up by the magical hands of Disney along with the likes of Miley Cyrus and Zac Efron. Fast forward a few years and she is now focusing solely on her music career attacking the music industry with her fourth studio album, which has all the makings for a perfect pop record.

Demi opens with the first single released from the album, ‘Heart Attack,’ telling tales of the woe’s of falling in love, mixing it with acoustic guitar melodies and a chorus that allows Demi to belt out the notes, impressing us with the power in her voice. The following tracks, ‘Made In The USA’ and ‘Without The Love’ are nothing to rant and rave about, they do their part in filling the album with easy-on-the-ear songs, but don’t do much to stop you from hovering over the skip button.

ATP! Live Review: Fall Out Boy - The Rave, Milwaukee, WI

On May 14, 2009, Fall Out Boy played their last show at The Rave in Milwaukee, WI for the Believers Never Die Part Deux Tour.

On May 14, 2013, Fall Out Boy finally returned to a sold out crowd. “We’ve missed you guys so much,” Patrick Stump tells the audience after the ending cords of 'Thriller' play.

I don’t know much about Air Dubai other than the fact that they’re from Denver, there are six members, they’re opening for Marianas Trench on their upcoming US tour and they seem to be incredibly modest. How so? In the opening paragraph of their about section on Facebook, they proclaim that their appeal doesn’t lie in their music, but that it “lies in its members’ passion for the music they create, as well as their love for the people who come to see them perform.” Now, while this very well may be true to a point, upon listening to the group’s Warning EP, it’s fairly safe to say that the music is every bit as appealing. Maybe even more so.
