Within the past 6 months, Woe, Is Me is a band that has catapulted themselves to the forefront of the scene. Releasing a 3 song Demo and a Ke$ha cover , the band was able to seal a deal with Velocity Records (a Rise Records imprint) before even playing a note on stage. Will their full-length Debut, Number(s), be able to secure them as the next big thing? Read More

I find myself torn with this album. Much like the absolutely and frustratingly schizophrenic nature of this particular genre – what is it, anyway? Emo-metal-core? I really don’t know – I’m having a hard time placing what it is about this particular album that I find so enticing, but at the same time, aggravating. Read More

I keep asking myself why this album feels like it falls flat. I’ve seen the band live twice now, interviewed them, and really enjoyed them on a very personal level. The fact that these particular individuals are making music together should be cause for celebration, as they really are some of the most prominent, unique voices in our scene. But there’s a hollow quality to their debut full-length that is as puzzling as it is disheartening. Read More
