In the past decade, emo-pop, metalcore, and pop-punk have found huge mainstream audiences, which were by and large, separate audiences. Florida's A Day to Remember changed that. They smashed all the lines that distinguished these genres, switching between them at will, almost to the point of creating their own unique formula: Metalcore verses, pop-punk choruses, emo-pop sprinkled throughout. No one was doing this in 2003 when they started. Now, their songs don't sound all that unusual, a sign of the influence they've had on newer, young bands. They are in the process of self-releasing their next full length, but are in a legal battle with their label. They hope to have the album out by Oct. 8. (Aaron Carnes)
