Contracts are deceiving, the law is confusing and when legal issues arise most of us shy away from what is going down in the courtroom and simply wait for the final verdict. Well the ruling has been made, and A Day To Remember has released their fifth record, Common Courtesy, with permission from the judge.
Common Courtesy has been one of the most anticipated albums of 2013 and for various reasons. It has been three years since A Day To Remember has put out any new music with the exception of the song “Violence (Enough is Enough), which has been building up hype since December 2012. Most of all, the case with Victory Records has created a fair amount of complications for the band and owners of the label. Finally, Common Courtesy is here, and A Day To Remember is right back at it again. ADTR’s secret formula has always been the proper mixing of pop-punk with hardcore brutality, and the band has stuck with what has always worked for this fifth record.
The song style and creativity has been stepped up to match A Day To
Remember’s massiveness. Some may criticize this record for lacking musical evolution, and some will praise this record for sticking to the roots of the band’s style. I don’t know how long this style will last, but I believe fans will absolutely love this record. People will be jamming Common Courtesy for weeks, months, and even years to come.
Songs such as “Violence (Enough is Enough)” and “Life Lesson Learned The Hard Way” bring out Jeremy’s anger and brutal breakdowns all over. All songs have hints of influence from the bands previous albums “Homesick” and “What Separates Me From You”. “End Of Me” and “I’m Already Gone” slow down the record to a pleasant pace with a balance of acoustic guitars and huge build-ups. Overall, this album is fantastically balanced and is the truest representation of ADTR to date.
Fans have been expecting a lot from this record, and on every level A Day To Remember has delivered. Between constant touring, legal issues with Victory Records, and the difficulties with releasing this album, the members of A Day To Remember deserve all the praise for this record. Go pick up Common Courtesy on ADTR.com. You won’t regret it.

Sometime today, the ADTR crew will be in a courtroom making their case against Victory Records about the release of Common Courtesy. I guess they didn’t make up their minds when they signed 3-4-5 on that dotted line.
A Day To Remember and Victory Records are meeting in a courthouse in Illinois later today in anticipation of a long-awaited court ruling on whether or not the band owes the label two more albums by contractual obligation, or if the court is satisfied in the band’s belief that they have fulfilled their contractual responsibilities.

The Ghost Inside - Get What You Give
Record Label: Epitaph Records
Release Date: June 19th, 2012
The Ghost Inside, hailing from Los Angeles, California are a staple for any hardcore or heavy listening diet. The melodic hardcore band will be releasing their third record, Get What You Give, on their their new label, Epitaph Records.
Get What You Give is a no bullshit record. No overly long intros, no orchestrated preludes (I’m not dissing them of course). TGI get down and dirty with their new record and straight into an energetic and heavy guitar riff accompanied by Jonathan Vigil’s vocals with the opening track “This is What I Know About Sacrifice”. An excellent track to open the record with, it doesn’t begin awkwardly, and it sets the mood for the rest of the album, one filled with songs of hope. Now hardcore isn’t normally a genre to incorporate clean vocals, but that’s why TGI is a melodic hardcore band, and with Vigil now doing clean vocals, they compliment everything wonderfully. A perfect example of this is seen in the first track to include them, “Engine 45”, the song taking a break from the heavy side and transitioning into clean vocals and finally an a capella-esque gang vocals ending.
The great thing about this album is that there are few, if any songs, that can be considered filler tracks. Ones used to simply occupy space. Each song has a strong chance of being fan favorites, my personal favorites being the final track “Test The Limits”, “Engine 45”, and “Deceiver”. All in all, the added variety into this album has really done TGI good. GWYG is definitely one of the must have albums of 2012, and I recommend everyone to listen/purchase it when it drops on June 19th.
