I do believe my love for this band in never-ending. The Last Shadow Puppets have only released two albums over the course of 13 years, but I hope me being this late to the party means that they are close to putting out a third (and hopefully not last) record. Watching old live performances on Youtube have been a joy and Alex Turner and Miles Kane are mesmerizing. It’s clear these two have fun on stage! In order to cement my love for them, here is another drawing. Fear not though, I’m sure there will be plenty more to come.

Singles! New Music this Week
New music has felt like it’s coming at me in an onslaught, but I am certainly not complaining! Especially coming off the slow year that was 2020. What makes me even more happy is that it’s rock! I love rock, I miss rock, I need rock. And truth be told, these singles all rocked!
Read moreGlass Animals – Dreamland Album Review
New music! Yay! And from a band I was highly anticipating new music from! A few years back, Glass Animals experienced some real trauma when their drummer was struck by a truck while he was on a bike. The recovery process sounded like a slow one, but luckily he’s back in full health and helping the band make music again! Really, it hasn’t been all that long since their sophomore effort came out, but that doesn’t make me any less excited about the release of Dreamland.

In honor of the new album released by Phantogram today, Ceremony, here is a drawing I was able to gift the band during a tour for their last album! It was an amazing experience!
Read moreFan Art Friday: Bad Suns
Bad Suns have been one of my favorite bands since I heard their first single, “Cardiac Arrest,” back in 2014. Three albums later and a new tour starting up in a few weeks, and I still love them! I think they also might be tied for the top as one of the bands I’ve seen live the most (twice in one week once)! I’ve also had the pleasure of gifting them some artwork in the past and they were gracious enough to share it on their website at the time! Some of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet and seriously talented, too. Go catch them if they’re coming to your city!
New Music Review!
New music! I’ve finally allotted myself a few car rides to pop in two new CDs (you read that right) and listen to them all the way through. And let’s just say that Dreamers and Two Door Cinema Club’s latest releases made me so happy! I love good music.
Read moreAlbum Review: Vampire Weekend, Father of the Bride
It’s been nearly six years since we’ve heard new Vampire Weekend material, and since then they’ve lost eclectic member, Rostam Batmanglij. No lie, I was a little nervous for this release. Even with the onslaught of singles released in the past couple months, I still wasn’t convinced this record would wow me.
