Not hitting up the Warped Tour this summer? Looking for some new tunes to capture the feel of the glory days? Look no further than Ryan’s Hope. Hailing from Chicago, the band delivers a disc packed with the “fuck you” attitude of Bad Religion and the speed and catchiness of the Descendants and Lifetime.

Tracks like “My Motivation, Your Demise” and “Majority” provide a harder alternative of driving music if you don’t prefer your songs sugar-coated.

“Apocalypse in Increments” is 13 tracks of fast, loud, and in your face pop-punk that’s begging to be spun all summer.
