AM/PM is the only studio album by American punk rock band The White Noise. The album was released on June 23, 2017, through Fearless Records[5] and produced by Drew Fulk. In May 2017, the ensemble released a music video for "Bite Marks", the first single from their album.[6] The album takes its name from the song of the same name by Give up the Ghost from their 2001 LP Background Music.[7]

Music[edit]

AM/PM features musical styles ranging from emo,[2][8] pop punk[3][9] and radio rock[2] to alternative metal,[10] metalcore,[2] post-hardcore,[11][3][12][8] punk rock,[4][9][13][8] hardcore punk[11][3][8] industrial punk, ambient hardcore[14] and melodic hardcore;[8] songs such as "I Lost My Mind (In California)" have been described as a 90s-inspired[2] pop punk curveball[3] compared to the metalcore of "Picture Day",[2] alternative metal of "Bite Marks",[10] and ferocious hardcore punk of "All The Best Songs are Dead" and "Rated R..."; leading to the album being compared to the styles of Beartooth, Bring Me the Horizon and Comeback Kid.[8] Rock Sound hailed the album being non-nonsensical and far from boring.[2]
