Emo Renaissance
VIVA LAS VENGEANCE shows a change in process for frontman/songwriter Brendon Urie, having cut everything live to tape in Los Angeles alongside his friends and production partners, Jake Sinclair and Mike Viola. The cinematic musical journey is about the fine line between taking advantage of your youth, seizing the day and burning out. The songs take an introspective look into his relationship with his decade plus career including growing up in Las Vegas, love, and fame.
Double 180gm vinyl LP pressing in gatefold jacket. 2017 release. Energetic rock band The Used return with The Canyon, their seventh and most ambitious album to date. The album's MJ inspired lead single is "Over and Over Again". Formed in Orem, Utah in 2001, The Used have enjoyed much success over the course of their career, with three gold records and numerous top 20 chartings including 2014's Imaginary Enemy, which debuted at #14 on the Billboard Top 200. The band performed their first two records, Self Titled and In Love and Death, from front to back on sold out nationwide tour last year, which reinvigorated their fan base and left fans wanting more.
Louder Now is the third studio album from platinum-selling rock band Taking Back Sunday. The album, their first with a major label, debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200. Certified Gold in just two months, Louder Now boasts the hit single “MakeDamnSure” – the band’s highest streaming track to this day. Fitting to the album title, this release took on a heavier, darker mood and a bolder array of riffs and choruses than their previous records – a sound embraced by fans and critics alike.
Good Charlotte return with their 7th studio album with Generation Rx. The songs on GENERATION RX cover a range of deeply personal subjects, with an underling theme touching on the disconnection and hopelessness that seems to be prevalent with youth these days.
The group went back to the basics (and the basement) for WAKE UP, SUNSHINE. Throughout 2019, the four musicians—Alex Gaskarth [vocals, guitar], Jack Barakat [guitar, vocals], Zack Merrick [bass, vocals], and Rian Dawson [drums]—congregated together in Nashville at Rian’s studio and at a Palm Springs rental house. Face-to-face, they wrote and recorded the 15-song affair joined by co-writer, producer, and collaborator Zakk Cervini.
