I've been lucky enough to personally know and watch these guys grow from back in the day when they were playing locals shows. I bring to you today one of my close personal favorites and great friends at that, At The Skylines.
At The Skylines was formed in 2009 and play a melodic not your usual post-hardcore. They’re all based in Southern California around Huntington Beach. They produced a self titled EP in 2009 with producer Kris Comeaux. They’re a six-piece band who write from their souls. They recently got signed to Roadrunner Records and their debut album The Secrets To Life was released May 8, 2012.
Their live shows boast two incredibly talented front men that completely cover the brutality of metal while still bringing forth the catchy sounds of near pop status choruses in a way that can still be presented tastefully and admirably. Energetic would be a lackluster way of describing their live performance, which is driven by non-stop interaction between band and crowd. No one on stage is standing still, and neither is the crowd. The music captures great melody, yet is technically sound enough to achieve respect and loyalty from fans across multiple genres. Overall, it’s the songs that are going to get the band to connect with their audience and ultimately point them to success. The lyrical content isn’t short-sighted or based around petty topics. This is a mature band with a mature sound that has put together real songs.
