The Coast Is Ours
by Tim Wenger It’s good to hear some solid melodic hardcore/pop-punk coming out of Denver. In a city so dominated by indie rock, the new album from The Coast Is Ours is a breath of fresh air.

Front man Alfonso Cervantes has a great voice and […]

by Tim Wenger In Denver, Taking Canyon’s new record Eyes on the Prize is a much needed circle in the square for the Ronnie Radke generation. Choosing the stay true to the pop-punk roots of the early 2000’s instead of the screamo-metal-wackjob music that replaced the genre’s place in the hears of rebel teens, Taking […]
