That’s right, there are even more singles being released by bands that I’ve now determined are tormenting me by making me wait for their new albums, but also satiating me with new music. That’s right, Royal Blood and AFI have both dropped two new singles a piece off their upcoming albums, Typhoons and Bodies, respectively.

Fan Art Friday: AFI
I know I just posted a drawing of AFI a few weeks ago, but they just dropped two more new singles and another music video. They deserve more recognition with an old drawing of mine. After the realization that I haven’t got any new drawings of AFI, that’s going to change before Bodies drops in June! But for now, enjoy.
Fan Art Friday: AFI
If you’ve been paying attention, I’ve practically been begging you to listen to the four new singles AFI have released in the past couple months. This is the first new music from the band in about four years so it’s freaking exciting! Even more exciting? They’re also putting out an album on June 11th entitled Bodies, and I for one cannot wait. In the meantime, check out this extremely throwback drawing of the band from their Decemberunderground days!
Read moreSingles! New Music this Week
New music has felt like it’s coming at me in an onslaught, but I am certainly not complaining! Especially coming off the slow year that was 2020. What makes me even more happy is that it’s rock! I love rock, I miss rock, I need rock. And truth be told, these singles all rocked!

New singles have been dropping this early this year and I am so excited! And even better, by some of my favorite bands who have been MIA for a few years. As if 2020 hadn’t sucked enough all on its own, it didn’t really help that not a lot of music seemed to get released. As of now, I think that’s all about to change! At least for me, anyway! If you like rock, then keep reading to get some new singles in your life!

Blaqk Audio’s Beneath the Black Palms and 5 Seconds of Summer’s Calm were both drastically different listening experiences, but enjoyable in their own ways. Yes, this means I am still trying to make my way through some 2020 releases that have been on my list this year.

Not much good has come out of this pandemic, so imagine my surprise when something actually awesome happens?! Film Festivals all over the world have either had to cancel or postpone, but now a large handful have caught onto the streaming bug, and this works out magically for me! Usually attended by locals or strictly critics, this change of events has given me an unseen advantage. I, just a lowly film fan, gets to watch potential Oscars films ahead of the masses!
Read moreBook Review: Hidden Bodies by Caroline Kepnes
Over the weekend, I finally finished Hidden Bodies, the sequel to You, by Caroline Kepnes. I’d been putting off this book for a while mainly because I read the book very shortly after finishing the television series after it originally aired on Lifetime. I just felt like I wanted to take a breather before jumping back into the world of Joe. Based on how season one of the show ended verses how the book ended, I do wonder if the second season will follow Hidden Bodies plot at all.
Read moreAlbum Review – AFI The Missing Man EP
What I would consider to be an early Christmas gift came on December 7th in the way of new songs by one of my favorite bands! That’s right, AFI released a five track EP on the heels of 2017’s eponymous Blood Album. That’s a pretty quick turnaround considering there were four years in between their last two albums. Overall though, I wasn’t super impressed by this EP. Of the five new songs released, I really only liked “Trash Bat” and the single “Get Dark,” mainly because they they were quick and punky in nature. The other three songs mixed acoustic guitar and almost detached sounding vocals. Regardless of what I thought of this EP, I’m still glad I got some new tunes so soon and in an interview with KROQ the band promised new material from Blaqk Audio (Davey and Jade’s electronic side project) early next year and that they’ve already started work on the next AFI album – fingers crossed for a 2020 release! Go give The Missing Man EP a listen and let me know your thoughts.
