Either way, the bright beats and uplifting melodies of upcoming album Headstrong strike at the heart strings and induce grins all around, and man, oh man, is it gonna be hard to mark out just three standout tracks from this release!

Abandoned By Bears have mastered the art of nostalgia with traditional pop-punk and some epic breakdowns.

Coursing through Borderline, Held Against You, and the album’s title track with gripping harmonies, pounding bass lines and building to some epic guitar solos, Abandoned By Bears have mastered the art of nostalgia with traditional pop-punk and some epic breakdowns. Between Blurry Vision and Drowned Out Abandoned By Bears throw in just a touch of metalcore in the vocals and guitars without being overpowering, and if anything, the hint just amplifies the power of the band.

The DIY aesthetic the Swedish outfit have adopted up until this point has paid off, because Headstorm sends out a message both about the band’s six year journey and the usual themes of loves lost and life lived. Pop-punk metalcore hybrids haven’t sounded this good for a while and if you give Headstorm a chance, you may just find it’s the soundtrack to your summer.
