When I booked my trip to St. Louis last year to see Empire of the Sun, it was for a few reasons. I’d never been to the city, and the tour stop was on a Saturday, but also it was the first time they’d toured the US in a minute and I figured they’d never play anyhwere closer to me.

Yeonjun – No Labels: Part 02, Album Review
For a group as active as TXT, I’m surprised at how quickly Yeonjun released his second solo album, No Labels: Part 02. It may not have been in the standard six-month interval that most groups crank out new music, but it was pretty darn close.
Read moreConcert Review: Armor For Sleep
Sad to say that July is only gracing me with one concert, but at least it was a good one this past weekend! At this point, I’ve kind of lost track with how many times I’ve seen Armor For Sleep, but I can confirm that I will never stop.
Read moreWet Leg – moisturizer, Album Review
You know, given that I was going to see Wet Leg again two weekends in a row, first at Gov Ball and then at Bonnaroo, I figured I should finally give their latest album, moisturizer, a listen. Now that we are almost a year out on it.
Read moreConcert Review: Bad Suns
Did I only just see Bad Suns less than a year ago? Yes, but who cares! I feel like it’s been ages since they really toured near me proper, so I’ll take them as many times as they want to swing by!
Read moreConcert Review: Foxy Shazam
It seems like I only just got to see a Foxy Shazam show, but June was actually about eight months ago – crazy! But even if I only just saw them a month ago, I will never not be excited for a Foxy Shazam show. They’re just too good! And too fun!
Read moreYeonjun – No Labels, Album Review
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.
Read moreConcert Review: Motion City Soundtrack & Say Anything
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!
Read moreBad Suns – Accelerator, Album Review
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!
