Band #5 - My Chemical Romance


My Chemical Romance has been around since 2001 but have been split since 2013. They have a more alternative rock / punk style and four great albums with the style changing slightly in each album. Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge is my favorite album from the band and is what definitely helped bring them their fame. Out of all of the tracks on the album I would have to say that "Helena", "To the End", "The Jetset Life is Gonna Kill You", and "Cemetery Drive" are my favorite.


Check out "Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge" and My Chemical Romance's other albums.

Band #4 - Asking Alexandria


Asking Alexandria is a well known hardcore band with over three albums. One of my favorite from them is "Reckless and Relentless (2011)". The album is packed full of great songs such as "Breathless" and "Another Bottle Down". Check out the album and some of the bands other songs. The band has great vocals, good instrumental parts as well as synths all blended together. 


Check out "Reckless and Relentless".

Band #3 -The Word Alive



The Word Alive is a great band that I have been listening to for a while. "Deceiver (2010)" was one of my favorite albums from this band. This album has a great track list and was done before the band had a big change in members. The first song I've listened to from this album was "Epiphany", the song has some great synths and is very face paced. Other songs from the album that have stood out to me include "Dream Catcher" and "Like Father Like Son".

Check out TWA's album "Deceiver". Here is the album cover and a video of the song "Epiphany".
