MAGNOLIA PARK have never been ones to settle for subtlety. Since forming in 2018, the Orlando, Florida-based quintet have, over and over again, proven themselves to be one of the most exciting and forward-thinking groups in the underground, spinning a chameleonic, genre-spanning sound that incorporates punk, rock, pop, hip-hop and metalcore into a dizzying, multisensory experience. Blazing onto the scene with an insatiable social media work ethic and prolific musical output, their popular Halloween mixtapes, multi-part Eater EP series and full-length debut, Baku’s Revenge, cemented them not only as a playlist and For You Page favorite for millions of listeners around the world, but a must-see live act on tour with Simple Plan, Sum 41, A Day To Remember and the inaugural Summer School tour (where they served as a headliner), as well as major festivals like Reading and Leeds, When We Were Young, Sonic Temple and Welcome To Rockville. Now, Magnolia Park – vocalist Joshua Roberts, guitarists Tristan Torres and Freddie Criales, drummer Joe Horsham and bassist Vincent Ernst – are set to unleash their most ambitious effort yet: VAMP (Epitaph Records), a neo-gothic concept album rich in world-building and gripping storytelling. Culling influence from the band’s favorite anime including the long-running Vampire Hunter D, along with inspiration from iconic works like Star Wars, Dracula and Joseph Cambell’s legendary monomyth, Vamp unravels an ominous journey through Nocturne Nexus, where rulers and rebels battle with the future hanging in the balance.
British metalcore giants Architects announce their awaited new studio album, ‘The Sky, The Earth & All Between.' This will be the band's 11th studio album, with “Whiplash” delivering an intense fusion of power and stadium-swaying melody, offering a tantalizing preview of what’s to come from ‘The Sky, The Earth & All Between’ in the New Year. The band revealed the first single from the album, “Seeing Red” last December and second single, “Curse” in April this year. Both songs collectively amassed over 70 million streams to date. Since their last studio album in 2022, the critically acclaimed ‘the classic symptoms of a broken spirit’, the band have continued their stratospheric rise, establishing themselves as one of the most important rock bands to emerge from the UK. They have spent the last 12 months touring extensively, most notably as one of the personally chosen support acts on the Metallica tour as well as appearances at Louder Than Life, AfterShock, Mayhem, Download and a headline slot at Bloodstock Festival. They have also just announced a handful of dates in support of Linkin Park next Summer.
