It’s felt like a lifetime since I’ve seen Highly Suspect live! What a crime! Back in 2019 they released their third full-length, MCID, which was so, so good.

Blaqk Audio – Trop d’Amour Album Review
It’s been over a year in the making, but I will finally get to see AFI live again later this fall, but in the meantime, Jade Puget and Davey Havok’s side project, Blaqk Audio, have put out a new album and I’m here for it!

I’ve got to say I’m glad I let Don Broco’s sophomore album, Automatic, marinate for a while before reviewing it. Despite what you may think, I actually found it really pleasant to listen to the first time around, but it just felt so jarringly different from their latest two efforts that it almost didn’t feel like I was listening to Don Broco at all.

Well, geez. My friend has some dark taste in reading materials. Off the heels of her recommendation for Pretty Girls, I maybe stupidly didn’t give myself a break and picked up Jack Ketchum’s The Girl Next Door.
