The Australian boyband 5 Seconds of Summer is currently on top of the world with their second studio album Sounds Good Feels Good and with Kerrang! heavily promoting the band and album, I decided to take a closer look and see if it's any good.

​The band formed back in 2011 in Sydney after the members became YouTube stars producing covers of famous songs such as Mike Poser’s 'Please Don’t Go' and Chris Brown’s 'Next to You'. It wasn’t long after this they attracted a lot of interest from record labels before finally signing with Sony Music. They then released their first EP Unplugged which reached number 3 on the Australian iTunes chart.

Sevendust's Kill The Flaw

9/10/2015

The concept behind Sevendust’s 11th release is simple, it’s a return to their heavy basic roots. Kill the Flaw is similar in sound, though just not as heavy as 97’s self titled, with a few pleasant new surprises.
This album is the perfect return to form.

IRE is Parkway Drive’s latest offering and certainly brings the noise, it’s a massive album showcasing why they are the kings of Metalcore in Australia and can hold their own around the world. While also branching out in favour of a more Heavy Metal influence.

Label: 
  • Resist 
  • Epitaph
Release Date: 
  • 25th September 2015
Band Members: 
  • Winston McCall - Vocals
  • Jeffrey Ling - Lead Guitar
  • Luke 'Pig' Kilpatrick - Rhythm Guitar
  • Jia 'Pie' O'Connor - Bass
  • Benjamin Gordon - Drums
Genre:
  • Metalcore 
  • Heavy Metal

It’s been 3 years between albums but the 5 lads from Byron Bay have always taken their time and it really shows as they continue to grow as a band. While the Metalcore sound is still there it’s a bit more refined, a lot heavier, and almost 80’s like.
