It feels like no time at all has passed since Foxy Shazam released their comeback album, Burn, in 2020, but I guess that’s what a still on-going pandemic will do to your brain. Anyways, I was tickled to learn a few months ago that they were releasing a new album, The Heart Behead You, a week before I’m due to see them live for the first time since 2014! Let’s break it down.

Bastille – Give Me the Future Album Review
More new music! I feel like bands I like have been feeding me new albums for the past several weeks! It’s almost too much to keep up with, but I don’t want these releases slowing down at all. To me, this is a sign that things may be morphing slightly back to normal. Or, at least I hope so.
Read moreUnderoath – Voyeurist Album Review
Since Underoath’s return to the music scene, I’ve been living off of their 2018 release, Erase Me, but the wait is finally over and the band has blessed our ears with Voyeurist. This album seems to take all of the band’s influences over the years and combines them into one very cohesive and badass piece of music.
Read moreDan Black – Do Not Revenge Album Review
Back during my senior year of high school, Dan Black’s debut album, Un, was on repeat in my car for at least a full year. It was something my sister and I legitimately never grew tired of, and we still love it to this day. Somehow, his follow-up album, some seven years later slipped under our radar, but now I’m finally giving Do Not Revenge its time in the sun.
Read moreMiles Kane – Don’t Forget Who You Are Album Review
At the start of a new year, I’ve decided to keep moving along in Miles Kane’s solo catalog with his sophomore effort, Don’t Forget Who You Are. Several years lapsed between this record and the first, but ultimately the style stayed largely the same. A good deal of rock and pop, singing a lot about relationships.
Read moreThe Beaches – Late Show Album Review
Ever since catching this all girl rock band at the beginning of the month I’ve been listening to some singles by The Beaches on and off. I figured now was as good a time as any to give their full length effort, Late Show, a chance.
Read moreMiles Kane Colour of the Trap – Album Review
Obviously, as I make my way through my obsession of The Last Shadow Puppets, it’s only natural that I listen to one of the core member’s solo music. Thus, I am listening to Miles Kane’s first solo record, Colour of the Trap. Spelt that way because he’s British, but I’d probably let him get away with it even if he weren’t.
Read moreMini Mansions Guy Walks Into a Bar… – Album Review
Oh man, I wish every song off of this album by Mini Mansions was more like “Works Every Time.” A lot more singing by Michael Shuman, which sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t. Let’s start breaking down Guy Walk Into a Bar…
Read moreMini Mansions – The Great Pretenders Album Review
I will say, the second full length album from Mini Mansions, The Great Pretenders, is a winner. As soon as the first track kicks off, I was hooked.
Read moreMini Mansions Self-Titled Album Review
It’s hard to believe this band has been around since 2009! I first heard of Mini Mansions a few years ago with a song off of their third full length album. Up until my recent obsession with The Last Shadow Puppets, I hadn’t really considered giving the rest of the band’s catalog much time. Obviously, that’s changed. Instead of starting with what I knew, I decided to start from the beginning with their self-titled debut album.
