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!

Concert 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.
Read moreSleigh Bells – Texis Album Review
It’s been a hot minute since I’ve really listened to a lot of Sleigh Bells, but a few months ago when I stumbled upon their single, “Locust Laced,” I knew I’d be looking out for their next album. Well, that time has arrived!

Read moreNew Music Review: Singles Edition
You know what? 2021 has been quite a great year for music! Yes, an extended period of time indoors probably allowed for max creativity for some, but I almost feel spoiled a little bit. Regardless, over the course of the last couple weeks some excellent singles have been released, and I’m going to tell you all about them!
Read moreWonderstruck Music Festival
Live music continues! This time I’m back at my first festival since 2019, and it was a glorious return. Even better? The weather worked out well and the crowds were into it! I think the collective gratitude at being back at a festival made everyone friendly and just generally excited about life. Myself included.
