New Albums in 2013!

There have been some pretty great releases so far this year! I've picked up the following with my quick rating:

Fall Out Boy-Save Rock and Roll                                 8/10 Different but still good
Silverstein-This Is How The Wind Shifts                       9/10
Paramore-Paramore                                                     7/10
For Today-Prevailer EP                                                7/10
Bring Me The Horizon-Sempiternal                              Haven't gotten into it enough yet I just bought it out of the blue because I heard good things about it
New Politics-A Bad Girl In Harlem                               Just picked up today but I'm liking it
Palisades-Outcasts                                                      Just picked up today as well
Chunk! No Captain, Chunk!-Pardon My French          9.5/10
The Story So Far-What You Don't See                        9/10
Escape The Fate-Ungrateful                                        Haven't listened to enough yet.

Still haven't listened to Killswitch Engage or The Wonder Years (couldn't find at best buy today)

What albums are you still waiting for this year?
For me: A Day To Remember, Of Mice & Men, Sleeping With Sirens (6/4), Man Overboard (5/28), Issues (Full length and EP), The Devil Wears Prada, DayShell (Ex-Of Mice & Men singer Shayley Bourget), Blessthefall, We Came As Romans (7/23), August Burns Red (6/25), Enter Shikari.
Those bands have said that they have new albums coming this year. Also Blink-182 and Memphis May Fire seem to be working on new music.
I was excited to hear Falling In Reverse's new album but not sure anymore

What are you hoping to see this year?
What's been your favorite release so far?

Tyler Carter's a DOUCHE

Ohkay, so before I start, ISSUES is my favorite band, nd Tyler Carter was my favorite singer/band person EVER (emphasis on WAS). But what happened changed me.

Ohkay, so what happened was me, my friend another admin in here) nd 2  friends nd 2 of his friends were supposed to meet ISSUES for a Meet & Greet. So we left school 50minutes early, drove to Hard Rock, nd we were supposed to meet them at 4pm. So what happened, was that we had a huge scandal (no one knew about the M&G, workers said there wasn't one, etc.) but finally one worker named Karen finally found,the manager and at 6:20pm (40minutes before open doors, nd 1hour nd 10minutes before showtime). He said that we could meet them AFTER the concert. So we did. We waited nd after an AMAZING concert (props to ADTR nd Of Mice & Men). So, the only AWESOME band members were Scout (DJ) and Skyler (bassist). They talked to us MEMORIZED OUR NAMES nd everything, but the main reason why I Even WENT TO THE CONCERT was to meet Tyler Carter. I drew his face (yeah I know, creepy fan girl all the way). For him to sign, but he was no where to be found. The screamer even didn't even talk hardly. He said bout 4 words, nd left. People called Tyler nd everything but he was nowhere to be found. So of course, now it's official. ISSUES will never sound the same. But still my favorite band.

-DJ

Yeah... It was for my birthday and I was super pumped to meet the band especially tyler carter and Michael bohn but tyler didn't show and Michael kinda seemed like he didn't want to be there. Scout, Skyler, AJ and Case were awesome! If I can I'd totally hang out with them again.
Oh well... Great concert though!
