Steal The Day is the type of band that has kept me going for over 20 years now. I wrote out a long diatribe about why that is, but the bottom line is that they just fucking rule.
At Least I'm Known For Something
I first heard of The New Models when the Spotify algorithm Gods blessed me with a stream of their track ‘Over It’. That devilishly delightful song spent the next four weeks occupying the space in my head as the cruelest of earworms. I knew the only way to purge that catchy-as-hell song from my mind was to contact the band and see if they wanted to crush a New Found Glory Song, and crush they did. I need more music from these guys. I can’t wait to enjoy a full album from them, because at the moment it’s absolutely criminal how few songs they have.
Better Off Dead, The Animal In Me
This is the culmination of talent and artistry. This is honestly what I hope for every time I recruit an artist. For the love of god, support The Animal In Me. Even if it’s not this song, listen to their others. They’re literally all bangers.
ChuggaBoom Destroys 'This Disaster'
ChuggaBoom absolutely killed ‘This Disaster’ in the best way possible. Metal is what this song deserved and metal is what it got. This band will be huge and they deserve every bit of the success that’s coming to them.
Jarrett Adlof Covers Eyesore
I reached out to an entirely different artist and wound up with an unexpected addition to what is now appearing to be a 32 song tribute to New Found Glory. Jarrett Adlof took a contemporary NFG sound and injected that rock flair into one of NFG’s old-school pop-punk gems in ‘Eyesore’.
Alteras' Swan Song
Alteras recorded a cover of ‘My Friends Over You’ by New Found Glory before officially calling it a day as a band. It’s an unfortunate loss to the music scene. Their mixture of metal, straight rock and distinct high tonal vocals will absolutely be missed. I’m just fortunate enough to have had the chance to collaborate with the guys on two separate occasions. The only positive news to come from any of this is that I have no doubt that with all their talent their next project (god-willing) will be every bit as awesome as Alteras was.
Cover of 'Forget My Name' by Victims Aren't We All
All-American Rejects meets Poison the Well. It’s a beautiful marriage of sound for such an iconic New Found Glory song.
Everyone Dies In Utah's NFG Cover
Everyone Dies in Utah has finally been getting some of the love and recognition that they deserve and yet they’re still nice enough to rock these projects with PRR. Their cover of ‘Hit or Miss’ marks the third project that they’ve participated on (The Get Up Kids, NFG and Taking Back Sunday. The more impressive part is that they manage to crush these covers in between dropping original tunes that are all over AltPress.
EDIU - Hit Or Miss (New Found Glory Cover)
EDIU - A Decade Under the Influence (Taking Back Sunday Cover)
EDIU - Close to Home (The Get Up Kids Cover)
Selfless Video
Leading this new tribute off with a banger. Another new song coming Sept 22nd.
First New Found Glory Cover - Out Now
K Enagonio’s crunchy style of hardcore will kick off what will be the first of 20+ more New Found Glory covers. New Noise was nice enough to premier her rendition of ‘Selfless’. Now it’s available everywhere you listen to music.
K’s photos, lyrics, music, videos and overall content is all of an outstanding quality. It should go without saying that anyone talented enough to excel in all of these specific fields deserves the love that will continue to avalanche their way.
A Tribute to Senses Fail is Out Now
A Tribute to Senses Fail is now out in its full hardcore/pop-punk glory.
Thanks to all the artists that participated. It's exciting to watch the next generation of talent bloom.
Also, Downtown City Radio, Familiar Things, With Clarity, BFAME, The New Pacific, Kill The Clock, GOLDVIEW and Rough Start all deserve some bonus love for not getting any pre-release love despite fully deserving it. I simply ran out of time.

I Survived - Lungs Like Gallows
I’ve been getting grief for the lack of intense Senses Fail covers. I found the answer. Their name is I Survived. Dying Scene apparently agreed and is currently featuring their song right here. Enjoy!
Glow - New Year's Eve
Luke Rainsford - Death Bed
Brilliantly written and beautifully performed.
A song that has brought me solace in the wake of the recent loss of my best friend. Thank you Luke Rainsford and Senses Fail.

Alteras - Gold Jacket, Green Jacket...
The After Hours Review is repping our latest Senses Fail cover. A metal/alternative cover of 'Gold Jacket, Green Jacket...' performed by Alteras. Shout out to Revival Recordings and 10 & 8 Management for being truly awesome and allowing their tremendous talent to participate.
Forever Starts Today - Family Tradition
New video, new feature by chorus.fm, new Senses Fail cover by an artist recommended by former Fearless Records GM Todd McCarty (Discover & Uncover) and without a doubt the nicest band I have ever had the pleasure of working with: Forever Starts Today.
Action/Adventure - Bonecrusher
The sad truth is that sometimes bands cover songs for publicity more than genuine inspiration. That’s why it makes it all the more special that half the members of Action/Adventure used to be in a Senses Fail cover band.
Their cover of the track ‘Bonecrusher’ is now available everywhere as a single. It’s also been pinned to the full album that’s coming this March.
Pyro, Ohio - Calling All Cars
Titans In Time - The Fire
Bringing the heat at 2:10.
