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.

The 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.

Now that I’ve made it through all of Arctic Monkeys’ current catalog, I figured I should give more live performances a listen, since I can’t see them in person yet. Although I am getting my hopes up for next year since drummer Matt Helders recently confirmed that their seventh full length is on its way to being complete, and they just announced a couple of shows over in Europe slated for the end of the year!
Read moreBullet for My Valentine Album Review
Bullet for My Valentine recently released a new self-titled album, and while they aren’t my favorite band, I still wanted to check it out. Also, I’ve seen these guys live enough times thanks to my sister that it warrants knowing their stuff so that the next concert is enjoyable.
Read moreArctic Monkeys – Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino Album Review
I was perhaps the most nervous about listening to the latest album in the Arctic Monkeys discography. From doing some research, I knew this album was going to sound the most different compared to everything else they’ve put out, and Alex Turner is sporting a beard…why? Anyways, let’s dig into Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino.
Read moreArctic Monkeys – AM Album Review
Alright, I’ve finally gotten to the Arctic Monkeys album that seemed to change the course of their career across the globe. Sure, they saw plenty of success in the U.K. with all of their previous records, but for whatever reason, AM is the one that seemed to resonate with the States the most. Now it’s my time to take a proper listen.
