Immortal Music has teamed up with a good friend, and fellow music journalist, Hali Neal! We met back in 2012, at an All Time Low show in Fort Lauderdale, FL, and have been friends ever since, despite being on opposite sides of the state. Hali Neal is a writer and music lover based in Miami. She's written for Examiner, Miami ArtZine, Palm Beach ArtsPaper, Lifestyle Magazine and The Odyssey Online. When she's not writing or listening to music, she's getting boba tea or the latest seasonal coffee, reading or watching "The Bachelor" franchise shows. Her favorite bands are All Time Low, Bullet For My Valentine, Fall Out Boy, Yellowcard, Waterparks, Trash Boat, Bring Me The Horizon, and Wage War
For years, we have bounced writing styles and other ideas off of each other, but now we have officially teamed up! Her first article with Immortal Music is now up, regarding the Fort Lauderdale, FL tour date with State Champs and Four Years Strong. We are waiting on confirmation that we may have a photo pass coming our way. Stay tuned! If we get it, Hali will be going, taking pictures of the entire night, and writing about the experience after. Just like the old days before the world imploded. With all that possibly being in the works, I felt it was important for you to get to know her. Show her some love and give her a warm welcome!

Pure Noise Records, a powerhouse independent record label, is bringing its Pure Noise tour featuring State Champs, Four Year Strong, Real Friends, Just Friends and Bearings to Revolution Live in Fort Lauderdale, FL on September 25.
State Champs, a pop rock band from Albany, New York, consists of Derek DiScanio on lead vocals, Tyler Szalkowski on guitar, Ryan Scott Graham on bass, and Evan Ambrosio on drums. New single "Outta My Head" was released on September 8 and is upbeat with a chorus destined to get stuck in your head. The band brings an infectious energy to their live shows that's hard not to get down with. It shows in the fact that they're headlining the tour. Four Year Strong came back to music for the first time in five years with 2020 album "Brain Pain", which, according to a press release, has charted on "Billboard Charts at #3 [for] Vinyl Albums, #5 [for] Independent Albums, #3 Top Current Hard Music Albums, [and] #7 Current Rock Albums". In May, they released three remixes of that album called "BRNPN RMX", featuring tracks "Seventeen", "Talking Myself in Circles" and "Worst Part About Me". It's been a year of shake ups for pop punk band Real Friends. Riding on the success of 2018 album "Composure", the band parted ways with lead singer Dan Lambton in a mutual decision. According to a statement from the band at the time: "This is not the end of Real Friends. We have simply turned the page to the next chapter." 2021 found Real Friends with a new record label in Pure Noise and with a new singer in Cody Muraro, formerly of Parting Ways and Youth Fountain. They've released several singles since in "Nervous Wreck", "Storyteller" and "Teeth". On Sept. 17th, they released an EP called "Torn In Two". According to a press release, Muraro said, “I really liked how we were able to incorporate the Torn In Two theme throughout. The album artwork being people separated. The 5 main songs on one side and five alternates on the other. I think the past year has left a lot of us feeling torn, scrambling to reconnect with a sense of familiarity.” Just Friends is a funk punk collective from the Bay Area that consists of vocalists Sam Kless and Brianda Goyos León, Avi Dey on trumpet, guitarist Matthew Yankovich, Chris Palowitch on trombone, drummer Ben Donlon and guitarist Brandon Downum. The band recently released "JF Crew Vol. 3", which bore the single and video for song "Sunflower". They've shared the stage with likes of Rise Against and The Used at Four Chord Music Fest in Pennsylvania. Bearings is a Canadian pop punk band that consists of vocalist Doug Cousins, guitarists Ryan Culligan and Ryan Fitz, bassist Collin Hanes, and drummer Mike McKerracher. They released their most current record, "Hello, It's You" in 2020. They've had time to hone their sound and as such, have also gotten invited on tours with ska-punk legends Less Than Jake. The Pure Noise Tour has been running since 2014 and showcases both the label's most promising and established talent. Pure Noise Records was founded in 2009 by Jake Round. Tickets are $25.50 before fees and can be found on Ticketmaster or you can buy them from the Revolution box office, which can be reached at (954) 449-1025.
