SeeYouSpaceCowboy - Coup de Grâce

B+ Tier

Starting off as a Whitebelt Hardcore band and spending the majority of their career injecting 2000s-era Emo-Pop and Post-Hardcore into the mix, SeeYouSpaceCowboy’s newest release is for the fans of the Third Wave. With Sassy clean vocals, filthy screams and tons of personality, the singer is truly front and center in the mix, but the band does an excellent job utilizing the polished 2000s soundfont to craft memorable tracks. To top things off, the band took great care to make the album flow smoothly. This album stands a head above most other recent Scene Revival releases.

The Requiem - A Cure To Poison The World

B- Tier

Okay, let's get the obvious out of the way - this band is MCR worship, nearly to the level of Save Face, if a bit less dramatic. After releasing a series of well-received singles over the last couple of years, The Requiem finally unleash their debut LP. Having utterly obvious influences isn't always a bad thing, especially if you have the skills to confidently expand upon the sound as well as The Requiem does. You know what to find on here - Bullets-era Post-Hardcore x Emo-Pop, bombastic vocal melodies against expertly-produced screams and a true revival of that early Mallcore sound.
