 This ‘This Is Who We Are’ by the Romagnoli Now.Here is a good product, at least worthy of existence and a clear example of how these guys believe in what they do and want to grow quickly.

 Set Your Goals are without a doubt their point of reference, especially in the way they appear sunny and party style.

Recognized by MTV, Now.Here shows promise for a successful debut album in 2013. Discover Now.Here’s vibrant pop-punk EP and experience their fresh, energetic sound today!

 If these projects had been put together years ago, today we would be talking about established stars.

 At the moment the idea is that of encountering a commercially useless and personality-lacking product.

Stereo Age's EP Strong Enough, produced by Alex Fusini at Fusix Studio, exhibits solid production but heavily relies on 90s pop-punk influences. The three-track release lacks a unique identity and feels too derivative, blending elements from Green Day, New Found Glory, and A Day To Remember. While technically sound, the EP fails to leave a lasting impression or establish the band's distinct style, making it difficult to get excited about their current offering. Discover the nostalgic pop-punk vibes of Stereo Age’s Strong Enough EP and decide if it resonates with your music taste!

 Thanks to the technical growth of the individual musicians and the wise choice to produce the album independently in their own studios.

 These musicians have dared too much, but fundamentally, it is not at all so: in this album, everything has its reason.

 Had these Fragore emerged in the 80s, they would have been global stars.

 Four tracks that honestly fail to provide definite inputs to the listener, despite some things being quite clear.

Fragore's 2012 EP 'Armored' showcases an ambitious blend of thrash metal, electronics, and melodic vocals. While there are interesting moments, repetitive choruses and an overloaded sound hold it back. The EP serves more as a teaser for their awaited 2013 album, hinting at potential if refinement occurs. Overall, it reflects a band in transition struggling to find a clear musical identity. Explore Fragore's 'Armored' EP and stay tuned for their 2013 album to see how they evolve their unique metal fusion.

 The album is structured around a genre much more versatile and daring than its predecessor.

 It shifts from tendentiously elegant and well-dressed tracks to moments where aggression prominently emerges.

Generation.On.Dope's 'Ghosts' delivers an ambitious alternative rock album featuring eleven originals and a bold cover of The Cure's 'Burn.' The band expertly balances melodious elegance with bursts of hardcore aggression, suggesting a concept album structure. Influences from American rock groups like Papa Roach and early Foo Fighters are evident. While vocals shine most in melodic moments, the album offers rich emotional depth despite less impactful artwork. Listen to 'Ghosts' by Generation.On.Dope and experience a powerful blend of melody and raw energy.

 A band that has grown album after album, starting with a debut that was all too standard and exploding in all its essence with 'Ten Steps Behind.'

 Tracks with powerful riffs merge with an increasingly intense rhythm section and increasingly claustrophobic and sludge-oriented vocals.

Within Your Pain closes their career with the six-track EP 'Little Stars And The Perfect Yellow Keys,' showcasing their growth in metalcore and hardcore. The band blends powerful riffs and intense rhythms with ironic lyrics and improved musicianship. This release serves as a fitting farewell and a recommended listen for fans who appreciate bands like As I Lay Dying and Unearth. Despite not aiming for technical virtuosity, their engaging style and consistency shine through. Listen to Within Your Pain's powerful final EP and explore a memorable chapter in metalcore.

 A combo made up of unscrupulous teenagers, who, with instruments in hand, unload unlimited tension and energy.

 At times it’s melodic Californian hardcore and at others rock’n’roll.

30 Miles delivers a powerful and energetic debut album blending Californian hardcore with rock 'n' roll. This Florentine trio impresses with raw sounds and an unusual yet likable vocal style. Their lyrics explore social and psychological themes with creative metaphors. The album is best when upping the tempo, recalling early Billy Talent and The Subways. Overall, it's an excellent introduction that leaves anticipation for the band’s future. Listen to 30 Miles’ fierce debut and experience their raw energy and dynamic rock sound now!

 Does melodic hardcore in 2012 still make sense? In my opinion... it does not.

 A school project, neither praiseworthy nor disgraceful, which might appeal to enthusiasts but has little to offer to those who dealt with melodic hardcore years ago.

The review reflects on Foolish Wives' 2012 melodic hardcore album 'Stay Angry! Stay Foolish!', questioning the genre's relevance today. While praising the band's passion and energy, it notes the music's repetitiveness and limited appeal beyond enthusiasts. The album is considered a solid but unremarkable effort. Discover Foolish Wives' passion-driven melodic hardcore—listen to 'Stay Angry! Stay Foolish!' and decide for yourself!
