Stick To Your Guns have always been a bandto defy convention. Whether they’re writing about political opinions or are sticking to the brand of hardcore they know and love, the band have held their own throughout the years and have managed to achieve a career many long for. This year, they’re hoping to continue their upward trajectory with their explosive fifth studio album, Disobedient, and it’s one that doesn’t miss a beat.
You don’t even have to listen past the first track to know Disobedient is one of the year’s top releases. The politically charged album is one that features a growth and maturity that sees Stick To Your Guns widening their horizons and offering up something different. Lyrically, the record is filled with the most mature material of the band’s career. Tackling social issues and sampling the speeches of prominent public figures, the record manages to evoke a sense of empowerment in listeners, especially with tracks like “I Choose Nothing” and album opener “It Starts With Me”.

Histories are a pop-punk four-piece from Springfield, Missouri. With the release of two EPs under their belts and a full-length slated for later this year, the band are hoping to make 2015 one to remember, and I was recently able to discuss their plans with bassist Shon Tetlow.
How would you describe Histories to those who havenever listened to the band before?
Collectively, I think we’d go alongside the line of a “progressive pop-punk” or [an] “emo punk” kind of stereotype. Though our friends often tell us we’re a “depressing party” band, whatever that means.
What made you want to pursue music for a living?
Since all of us were younger, long before we met each other, we found some sense of solidarity in ourselves through music. For us now, it’s far from making music for a living - because of us, music is living.

This is a show fans from all around the state, and even neighboring ones, have been anxiously awaiting since its announcement months ago.
First up was female fronted PVRIS. The lights dimmed and the crowd cheered as the four members appeared onstage and the drums started. The set was packed full of songs from the band’s new album, White Noise, which has been heavily praised by fans.
