On today's installment of "Flashback Friday's", I'm highlighting a record that came out in 2018. The band is called Settle Your Scores, and the album is titled "Better Luck Tomorrow".
These guys remind me of a poppier Four Year Strong.
About Settle Your Scores:
Formed in late 2014, Settle Your Scores has hit the ground running and shown no signs of slowing down. Releasing their first full-length album at the beginning of 2016, the Ohio natives quickly made a name for themselves, touring frequently across the US. Their second album is set to be released in early 2018.
Check them out!
From Hysteria Mag:
Dynamic, fun, sonically cutthroat and an all-round party banger—just a few words to describe Better Luck Tomorrow, the sensational new album from punk rock aficionados Settle Your Scores.

It’s a throwback to the zesty vibes of the genre as they were in the noughties, with an ingenious element of industrial hardcore thrown in the mix. You wouldn’t have thought beatdowns and gang chorales could work in a punk setting, but it’s something Settle Your Scores does really, really well. Better Luck Tomorrow brings luck today for Settle Your Scores, who fix up to sound sharp.
Sick yet subtle industrial guitar runs are paired well with gritty vocals in standout track Zero Hour, elements of each genre stepping into the spotlight in turn. Screamo vox verses, punk-rock choruses–epic. Sure, the word punk is getting thrown around a lot here but Settle Your Scores, with their unified attitude, melodic fun and recalcitrant tone, should just have their image inserted into the English dictionary by way of definition of the word!
Better Luck Tomorrow is a lucky dip of sonic surprises with every track, never failing to bring the listener to attention. It’s an album of unconstitutional attitude and pestilent punk.
