Yeonjun – No Labels, Album Review

February 18, 2026February 18, 2026admin

In the little over two years I’ve been listening to K-Pop, I think this is the first time I’ve checked someone out as a solo artist rather than the group they are a part of first. In fairness, Yeonjun was slapped all over my Youtube’s homepage thanks to reactors I like. His face was also quite the pull.

Concert Review: Motion City Soundtrack & Say Anything

February 10, 2026February 10, 2026admin

Given that Motion City Soundtrack and Say Anything found popularity around the same time in the mid-2000s, I really shouldn’t be that surprised that these two teamed up for a co-headlining tour, but I was! It was a pleasant surprise!

Bad Suns – Accelerator, Album Review

January 11, 2026January 16, 2026admin

With K-Pop dominating my life, and I don’t see that it will ever stop, it means I was really slow to the punch on new music from other artists I’ve loved for such a long time. Take, for example, Bad Suns. You’d think after seeing them for the first time in years would have propelled me to listen to their new album, Accelerator, as soon as it dropped. Nope. But better late than never, I suppose.

I’m almost ashamed at how long it took me to listen to AFI’s new album, Silver Bleeds the Black Sun…, but I did finally do it!

Concert Review – The Academy Is…

November 14, 2025November 17, 2025admin

It’s hard to believe that I’ve been listening to The Academy Is… for twenty years and have only managed to see them for the second time. And the first time was just two years ago at a festival!

Concert Review: AFI

October 8, 2025October 9, 2025admin

Listen, the beginning of October put me in a real pickle. I could have seen AFI in Columbus over the weekend, but my sister and I already had tickets to see comedian, Nate Bargatze. And because we went to see AFI in Cleveland on Tuesday instead, that means I missed out on White Reaper in Columbus. Why is everyone touring at the same time?!

Twenty One Pilots – Breach, Album Review

September 24, 2025September 24, 2025admin

As I mentioned when Twenty One Pilots released the first single from Breach, it felt like Clancy had just been released. And it practically was! At only a year and a half, Breach has been released to the masses, and I am certainly not one to complain. Especially now that I’m used to these K-pop groups releasing EPs every six months!
