"Always Summer"- Yellowcard

The first single from the bands untitled, upcoming release off Hopeless Records, "Always Summer" is an ode to the fans and members of Yellowcard mixed with the memories of summer concerts. With quick tempo vocals from Ryan Key and Sean Mackin's signature violin, Yellowcard the shows that they can overcome any obstacles that come their way (including having to replace their bass player yet again) and gives a taste of what fans can expect to hear on this year's Vans Warped Tour.  


"Timelines"- Motion City Soundtrack

Last Tuesday, the Minneapolis based Motion City Soundtrack released the second single off their upcoming album Go. Due to release on June 12 on Epitaph Records, Go will be the fifth full length album by the pop-punk veterans and also features the single "True Romance." Although dotted with references to lead singer Justin Pierre's own life, this song can be relatable to many fans lives. Stating "It's not a matter of time, it's just a matter of timing," these lyrics will have you thinking about your own ancient past.
