Not much time has passed since I listened to Machine Gun Kelly’s first pop-punk effort, Tickets to My Downfall, but that’s just because I dropped the ball. Now that his companion album, Mainstream Sellout, is out in the world, I won’t be making the same mistake twice.

Read moreDouble Album Review: The Linda Lindas & Wet Leg
This was originally just going to be a review of the new album, Growing Up, by The Linda Lindas, but then the Youtube algorithm shoved Wet Leg’s self-titled debut in my face, so now you get two for the price of one. It’s also helpful because it’s hard to elaborate on the phrase, “the whole album is amazing,” because they both were. But I’ll try.

What a blast this weekend was! After screwing myself out of attending December’s show, I was eager to get back to Monroeville to attend Steel City Con. There were a ton of great guests this time around and I definitely made the most of it.

After some serious distance (why??) I have finally listened to Miles Kane’s latest solo record, Change the Show. In the lead up to the album’s debut, several singles had been released, which I’m sure you read my two cents on at the time. Now though, I’ve got the whole picture and eleven tracks worth of jams.
