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 used to listen to her YouTube covers obsessively, eagerly awaiting the day she released her own music. And she never disappointed. Well, that

As I said in my Worst Albums of 2018 post, 2018 was a good year for music if you knew where to look. Relying on the charts will only make you depressed. Fine tuning your music taste and finding releases based on that is the only way to go. To make my list, the album

Music critics have either labeled 2018 a mediocre year for music or a terrible one. Personally, I found this to be a good year for music… if you look in the right places. The charts are a nightmare, but my playlists are not. However, even I found some albums to be just god awful. Even

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

When I saw both of these bands were releasing music this month, I was ecstatic! Arctic Monkeys and The Front Bottoms are two of my favorite bands, so I’m always happy for new releases from them. More than that, I knew I’d have to review these projects. However, I’ve decided to do it a little

I first discovered Bishop Briggs when her song “River” was featured on the short-lived television program Scream. I didn’t watch the show, but I knew people who did and they raved about the song. So, I pulled up iTunes and checked out her music. At that time, she had about five singles out and I
