Stripmall Architecture – Suburban Reverb album review
Sinewy and cold, Stripmall Architecture’s newest release, Suburban Reverb, is simultaneously an organic and technological experience. 9 tracks of breathy vocals and airy synths combine to both lift the music and keep it at a distance.
Stars In Stereo – Stars In Stereo album review
Red hot and rocking, Stars In Stereo’s new self-titled album is a white hot quasar of anthemic and incendiary fire. Fronted by the fantastic vocals of Bec Hollcraft, the band roars through 10 tracks of modern rock excellence, each one worthy of radio airplay and hit single status.

Following up their recent debut of “Elevator Days” from Ordinary Silence, Mixtapes are giving fans another taste of what’s to come from their highly anticipated second studio album with “Bad Parts.”
“The message of “Bad Parts” is simple,” Mixtapes’ guitarist vocalist Maura Weaver tells AltPress.com. “I feel like a majority of people I know metaphorically sleep through life–instead of viewing life as the great big opportunity that it is, they try to avoid viewing it at all and simply go through the motions hoping for the least amount of pain possible. They might be going to school to get a steady job that they’re miserable in because they feel like they have to, or dating some dude who makes them dislike themselves because he’s great half the time and it’d be hard to break up, anyway. During the quiet parts of the day that they’re forced to think about these “bad parts” of life, they try to forget them through television, alcohol, religion, and superficialities…” Read more at Altpress.com.
Mixtapes will kick-off a summer long tour next week, starting with the “Let’s Talk Industry Tour,” followed by the “Ordinary Silence Tour” and dates on the Vans Warped Tour. Pre-order your copy of Ordinary Silence now and catch the band on tour in a city near you!

After scouring his local thrift shop’s “douchebag section,” Karber heads to LA’s Skid Row to dole out the clothes among the homeless population.
