At Least I'm Known For Something

I first heard of The New Models when the Spotify algorithm Gods blessed me with a stream of their track ‘Over It’. That devilishly delightful song spent the next four weeks occupying the space in my head as the cruelest of earworms. I knew the only way to purge that catchy-as-hell song from my mind was to contact the band and see if they wanted to crush a New Found Glory Song, and crush they did. I need more music from these guys. I can’t wait to enjoy a full album from them, because at the moment it’s absolutely criminal how few songs they have.

Alteras' Swan Song

Alteras recorded a cover of ‘My Friends Over You’ by New Found Glory before officially calling it a day as a band. It’s an unfortunate loss to the music scene. Their mixture of metal, straight rock and distinct high tonal vocals will absolutely be missed. I’m just fortunate enough to have had the chance to collaborate with the guys on two separate occasions. The only positive news to come from any of this is that I have no doubt that with all their talent their next project (god-willing) will be every bit as awesome as Alteras was.

First New Found Glory Cover - Out Now

K Enagonio’s crunchy style of hardcore will kick off what will be the first of 20+ more New Found Glory covers. New Noise was nice enough to premier her rendition of ‘Selfless’. Now it’s available everywhere you listen to music.

K’s photos, lyrics, music, videos and overall content is all of an outstanding quality. It should go without saying that anyone talented enough to excel in all of these specific fields deserves the love that will continue to avalanche their way.

Action/Adventure - Bonecrusher

The sad truth is that sometimes bands cover songs for publicity more than genuine inspiration. That’s why it makes it all the more special that half the members of Action/Adventure used to be in a Senses Fail cover band.

Their cover of the track ‘Bonecrusher’ is now available everywhere as a single. It’s also been pinned to the full album that’s coming this March.
