The Wonder Years drummer Mike Kennedy has just announced his new project Filth Breeder, with first release The Taste Of Power out 4/7 on Hopeless Records. Keep an ear out for the first single “Slivers Of Flesh” from this Seattle-dwelling pop punk vet.
Illinois’ biggest emo/pop punk name Real Friends has been hitting the road hard lately, this time bringing a trio of Hopeless bands through North America: UK upstart Neck Deep, Maine hardcore act Cruel Hand, and Maryland’s Topshelf alum Have Mercy. Currently pushing brand new Fearless release Maybe This Place Is The Same And We’re Just Changing, Real Friends’ presence is undeniable in today’s music. Unfiltered emotion and raw pop punk are the fuel of Real Friends’ live show, and though the genres on this tour were varied, the intensity was consistent across the bill.
A lot of things in life have given me cause to say “whatever, forever” this year, but not music. I went into the last six months not expecting much, but in every (musical) way, 2014 has delivered so far. Also, 23/2013 overall just sucked, so whatever. Forever.
UK breakout pop punks Neck Deep just dropped a new music video for Wishful Thinking opening track ‘Losing Teeth’. Lose teeth after the jump.
