Morbid Stuff by PUP The best way to describe PUP is that they’re the angry version of The Front Bottoms. The lyricism and vocal stylings are strikingly similar, though the delivery stands in stark contrast. This is alternative with a dash of emo. Morbid Stuff is an ode to being an edgy, angsty teen and

Nothing Happens by Wallows The day I discovered one of the vocalists for this band is Dylan Minnette from 13 Reasons Why is the day my entire worldview changed. How can someone be involved with something so great and something so horrible? It’s a mind bender. Fortunately, it doesn’t in the least take away from

About two months ago, I reviewed Weezer’s cover album. I called it lazy and pointless, which I still maintain. But it didn’t kill my hope for the Black Album. After all, I’d enjoyed the singles. Perhaps the Black Album would be just the comeback Weezer needed. Alas, it is not. Out of the ten tracks

Within the past couple weeks, many albums from all different genres have dropped. Only a few stood out to me. “OK, I’M SICK” by badflower sparked my interest because I’ve liked a couple of their songs in the past. “Betty” by Betty Who stood out for the same reason. “Head Above Water” by Avril Lavigne

I’m going to be honest with you— I don’t really know how to talk about this album. I’ve been a fan of Ariana Grande since before she even released an album.

I grew up in a Backstreet Boys household. My mom listened to the Backstreet Boys, therefore I listened to the Backstreet Boys. I’m not well-versed enough with N*SYNC’s music (aside from their two biggest hits), so I don’t know if they’re truly the lesser boy band. But that’s what my biased heart says. Even so,

I know, what the hell? A new blog post on a Sunday? Usually there’s But today I felt motivated to write, so you’re getting a double review. You’re welcome. Every album ever made has been made with a purpose. At least, that’s how it should be. Why make a body of work if you don’t

Remember when I used to reviews albums like all the time? I used to be so productive. Now I hardly ever post album reviews. Anyway, today I’d like to amend that and do a few little reviews for some albums I missed along the way. As you can tell by the title, those albums are

Over the past year, no band has been turned on faster than twenty one pilots. One day, they were lauded as near-gods and the next they were written off as hacks. In a world where callout culture is affecting careers left and right, this isn’t so surprising. That is, until you realize neither Tyler Joseph

If iTunes hadn’t aggressively pushed Amy Shark as much as they have, I doubt I would’ve given her a chance. And that would’ve been a grievous mistake. She is a shining talent, a veritable diamond in the rough. I’ve been unable to listen to anything besides Love Monster for an entire week. Shark is 2018’s
