I did this last year and never thought of it this year until now! But these are 5 bands that you may or may not know about! Watch for them because by the end of the year, they will be household names!
PVRIS won the annual Warped Tour Battle Of The Bands to play the Boston stop of the 2014 tour. A year later, they were selected to play the entire tour. Their debut album White Noise is one of the best records of 2014, in my opinion. The thing I love most about the band's singer, Lynn Gunn, is her voice. It is one of the prettiest voices in rock but at the same time it is edgy which is perfect for their Electronic/Indie/Rock/Pop sound.
Songs to check out: "Holy," "St. Patrick," "Fire"
Tonight We Rise you most likely haven't heard of (unless you are reading this from the link I posted in The Defend Pop Punk Group). They are fastly becoming one of my favorite Punk/Alternative bands. When singer Ben Weir kept blasting his band in the DPPG and Lights Go Down Army, I guess it was time to check them out. I'm glad I did and I'm sure you will be too.
Remember when Jason Dunn surprisingly left Hawk Nelson back in 2012? Well, this is what he has been up to! Don't let his Christian roots from HN detur you away if you don't typically like Christian music. The band's mission is to keep pop punk alive which is why their debut EP (out later this Summer) is called We Kept It Alive. Their first single ever releases on July 10th so go and pick it up! Check out their reverbnation.
Just like PVRIS, Knuckle Puck is on this years Warped Tour all Summer. Just like Tonight We Rise, I discovered them courtesy of The Defend Pop Punk Group. So by saying that, you can guess that they are Pop Punk. The are one of the fastest growing bands on the scene and I'm excited to see where they go. Especially since their debut album, Copacetic, is out on July 31st. I guarantee itll be one of the best albums of the year.
Now by looking at that picture, you might guess that CROOKS is an indie band. Well they are actually a post hardcore band from the UK. They are huge over there (touring with Hardcore hit-makers Being As An Ocean a couple years back). If you like this kinda music, I highly suggest checking them out. Not to mention everything they have ever release is FREE on their bandcamp!
