2012 was a good reminder of the golden age for post-hardcore enthusiasts. Legends At The Drive-In and Refused woke up from their comas to bless us with countless performances that reminded many of us of better times, before the genre completely collapsed beneath all the clones who emerged and bastardize it. Witnessing these reunions prompted many to ask themselves, "What happened?" Not in a sense of those bands' respective sounds, but the open-mindedness both bands showed towards their approach to music. While other genres have shown innovation throughout the past decade, post-hardcore had, with some exceptions, become much blander. The acts carrying the torch have been undeserving of the honor, and it's time for a new voice. Musicians are beginning to step up to the plate, and four-piece Texas band The News Can Wait is one of the newest acts to truly do so with their newest EP, Cloud Factory.
