16 Bands To Watch In 2016 Alternative Press (Ft. Beartooth, Greyhaven, Jesus Piece, Knocked Loose, Neck Deep, PVRIS, Silent Planet & This Wild Life)
This year is going to be crucial for many acts, but for those listed below, there’s a good chance this will be their most fruitful year yet. Take a look and take note—you don’t want to sleep on any of these bands.
Household
Household, who were featured in our February issue, are destined to break out of our scene in breakneck fashion. Boasting a sound not unlike a Being As An Ocean/The Story So Far lovechild, the Minneapolis quintet released their debut studio album, Time Spent, in 2015. They will spend this year becoming your new favorite band. Don't sleep on our scene's next-big-thing.
Beartooth
Caleb Shomo put Beartooth on the map in 2014 with debut LP Disgusting. This year will bring the band’s second LP, which, according to Shomo, will be reminiscent of Disgusting. That means sheer aggressiveness, prominent sing-alongs and unforgettable choruses. Watch out for Beartooth this year—they're about to become one the scene's biggest metal acts.
Knocked Loose
Knocked Loose are the best hardcore-produced metalcore band in recent memory. With powerful riffs, pit-inducing mosh calls and big plans for 2016, expect the KL crew to two-step through your city very soon.
Neck Deep
In 2015, Neck Deep became pop-punk's headmasters with their breakout effort, Life's Not Out To Get You. This year, they're going to set the stage for their crucial third full-length by touring, touring and touring some more. Catch them in those venues while you can—they'll be headlining much larger ones very soon.
Silent Planet
Silent Planet are taking metalcore and giving it a much-needed revitalization. 2014's The Night God Slept showed unexpected, but welcomed, maturity to the genre. 2016 promises a new album and extensive touring—expect a breed of metalcore like you've never experienced before.
This Wild Life
This Wild Life burst onto the scene in 2014 with their infatuating debut LP, Clouded. Since then, they've toured, recorded and toured some more. This year will bring the band's crucial sophomore effort. The question is: Will it be a slump or a success? We're leaning toward the latter.
