Yay, new Foals!! I know I’m being selfish because they released two full albums about six months apart from each other back in 2019, but I was ready for new music! They finally delivered, as a new three-piece, with Life Is Yours.

Fan Art Friday: Richard Reed Parry
You know, now that Arcade Fire’s got a new record out and they’re making their way around the late night shows with performances, my obsession with Richard Reed Parry has resurfaced. In honor of that, here’s the drawing I did of him that he LIKED and commented on on Instagram. Swoon! Anyway, enjoy.
Read moreArcade Fire – We, Album Review
After what seems like a lifetime and a pandemic obsession, Arcade Fire has finally released a new album! With the excitement of a new record also came the disappointment in learning that Will Butler left the band after the recording of the album. I’m seriously super bummed about that. But anyway, here’s my thoughts on We.
Read moreFan Art Friday: My Chemical Romance
In a sick twist, Riot Fest and Life is Beautiful have ruined my life by making me choose between seeing My Chemical Romance and Arctic Monkeys on the same day in September. I was so desperate I threw out an Instagram poll! But, the people have spoken, and I ultimately agree with them, that I need to go back to Riot Fest to catch My Chemical Romance. Now, a big reason I agree with this is because I know for a fact a new Arctic Monkeys album is coming, and with that, likely a North American tour. So, I could catch them in the (hopefully) near future. And while My Chemical Romance have apparently been regrouped since 2017, I have heard hind nor hare that new music is coming from them. Why risk never seeing them if I don’t have to? Anyway, all of that for you to enjoy an old ass drawing I did of the band.
Read moreWallows – Tell Me That It’s Over Album Review
Even though I am going to see Wallows over the summer, I was a little nervous to hear their full-length sophomore effort. Their debut had really strong singles, but I was overall supremely disappointed by it, and I was kind of expecting the same thing here. Fear not! Tell Me That It’s Over was actually quite nice!
Read moreConcert Review: Foxy Shazam
I listened to Foxy Shazam’s new album in the nick of time! Just kidding, I couldn’t make that release date come any sooner. I’m just glad it came before I got to see the band live again for the first time since before their hiatus (that’s a long time!).
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 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.
