With all of these bands that I love releasing albums practically back to back recently, the fact that Wallows dropped their third full length album, Model, last week with basically no promotion came as quite a surprise to me. A pleasant one, but still. Even though I follow them on social media, I must not be in the know enough for eavesdropping advertising or just straight up fan posts to fall through the cracks and into my feeds.

twenty one pilots – Clancy, Album Review
I’m going to be totally honest here, Scaled and Icy was a huge letdown of an album for me from a band that hadn’t disappointed prior. Of course that means I was going to walk into Clancy with a bit of trepidation. But I was a fool for thinking that way! Twenty One Pilots have rounded out this era with certified hits.

It’s absolutely bonkers to me that it’s been five years since Cage the Elephant released Social Cues, one of my favorite records from that year, but we’ve finally been given new music with the likes of Neon Pill. And a tour!

Read moreConcert Review: Hawthorne Heights
Hawthorne Heights is an emo staple and I have seen them live so many times that I’ve simply lost track at this point. It’s got to be at least a dozen, and I know for a fact that I will be seeing them two more times this year. It does help that they are an Ohio band, but really these guys just get around a lot, what can I say.

Read moreConcert Review: Joywave
The fact that we are a third of the way done with March and this is my first concert of 2024 is a travesty. I will be actively trying to right this wrong for the rest of the year, but I so glad I finally got some live music in!
