Four Year Strong recently released a new full length entitled "Explains it All." The new album consists of covers from some of the band members favorite songs from the 90's. Many times when a band does a cover, it ends up sounding the same as the original but with a different vocalist. This is not the case for any of the songs off of "Explains It All." Four Year Strong did a great job at taking these well known 90's hits and converting them into melodic hardcore songs of their own. Some of the songs featured on the the album are Spiderwebs by No Doubt, Semi-charmed Kind of Life by Third Eye Blind and Absolutely (Story of a Girl) by Nine Days. "Explains It All" can be found at any record shop or on Itunes. Four Year Strong is also currently on tour and will be playing the Glasshouse in Pomona, on August 20 with Set Your Goals.

Metalcore band Killswitch Engage released their fifth full-length album on June 30. The new record entitled "Killswitch Engage," takes a step away from the fast and heavy sound heard in their 2006 release "As Daylight Dies" and moves towards a more melodic metalcore feel, somewhat reminiscent of songs such as "My Curse" and "The End of Heartache." The new album features 11 new tracks and also comes in a special edition version that contains five extra songs. The first official single is the second track of the album, "Starting Over." A video for the song has already been shot and released for circulation. "Starting Over" was a good choice because it encompasses the overall sound of the new record and gives cautious buyers a good taste of what is in store for them. With each release from their 2004 debut album with a new front man to their much anticipated 2009 release, Killswitchs growth is very apparent. They are a band that is open to trying new things and refuses to stay frozen in the same exact sound that got them big. Killswitch is currently touring alongside Marilyn Manson and Slayer on the Rockstar Mayhem Festival. To pick up a copy of the new album and see when they will be playing again click here.
