North Carolina pop-punks Jail Socks are streaming their new album It’s Not Forever. Released via No Sleep Records, the new album features six very catchy pop-punk tunes. “Freshmen Year” is my favorite track on the album, it did a great job of bringing me back to my adventures in “higher” learning and reminding me of my age.
Check out the new music below.
This is the first new music from Jail Socks since their split with Placeholder back in 2018. If you’re a fan of Saves the Day or adulting phase Blink 182 (that’s prior to the aliens and post The Mark, Tom and Travis Show, for those keeping score), you will like these guys.

San Diego punks Anakin have teamed up with Motion City Soundtrack’s Justin Pierre on their new single “Spaced Out.” According to Brad Chancellor, “The song “Spaced-Out” is really just about my lifelong battle with severe anxiety and somewhat mild paranoia. I was officially diagnosed in 2015 and was able to get on meds to help right my brain. I’m finally feeling like I’m taking back control of my life after all those years of living in a shell of myself.”
This single will be apart of their EP project for the next twelve months in which Anakin will debut a five new EPs over the course of twelve months. Each one will feature an original song and a cover of a song that is representative of their song-writing influences.

When the sun’s out and I’m feeling carefree I love my ska and pop-punk. When I’m feeling nostalgic and wistful I skew towards Menzingers or emo. When I’ve had three cups of coffee and need an outlet for the nebulous discontentment that silently builds behind the exterior of my stoic demeanor I turn towards hardcore-punk. That’s where I’m at this morning so when a request to check out the debut album from Californian skate-punk/hardcore act Facelift hit my inbox it was perfectly timed. This music is raw. It’s fast as hell. And it’s f’ing pissed off. Oh, and it’s riddled with metallic riff breakdowns which absolutely clinched it for me (give it 2:20 into the album opener to see what I mean). Turn up the volume and let off some steam with me by streaming “Sinceforevertilwhenever” here.
