Review By Aidan Smith Since 2019, Florida based emo band Home Is Where have been releasing anxiety riddled tracks that echo influences from across the board; loosely reminiscent of emo staples such as Cap’n Jazz or Algernon Cadwallader while also taking influence from post-hardcore outfits, lead singer Brandon MacDonald teaters the line between panic attack and fit of […]

By Kyle Pepitone Skeletons is the sixth studio album by American rock band Pop Evil and this album is anything but bare bones.
