I don’t know that I’ve listened to a Nothing More album in full. I usually just rely on my sister to play me all the good ones, but this time around I decided to give their latest full-length release, Spirits, a try.

Phoenix – Alpha Zulu, Album Review
I think this might be the longest stretch of time Phoenix has gone without releasing a new record. It’s been almost six years since there last full-length effort, but now, after all that time, we finally get Alpha Zulu!
Read moreThe 1975 – Being Funny in a Foreign Language, Album Review
I’m sure there were parts of The 1975’s latest album, Being Funny in a Foreign Language, that were in fact about being funny. I however, felt that it had more to do with love. And there’s certainly nothing wrong with that.
Read moreDjo – Decide, Album Review
I can’t help but think back to an interview I read a few months ago where Joe Keery scoffed at the thought of his debut full-length album, Twenty-Twenty. he evidently thought it was a bit juvenile both in sound and from a lyrical perspective. Really, his new album, Decide, seems like a natural continuation from that first record, but I’ll have to listen to it a few more times to see if it’s evolved that much lyrically.
Read moreConcert Review: AFI
It’s been over four years since I’ve seen AFI in concert, and frankly, that’s just too long! But after seeing this tour rescheduled from last year it finally happened, and it was incredible. Just like they always are.
Read moreArctic Monkeys – The Car, Album Review
Well, it’s finally here. New Arctic Monkeys! It’s been about five years since their last full-length album, so now we have The Car. Admittedly, the singles left me feeling a little slighted, but I’ve come around a bit!

Even though Ben Jorgensen of Armor for Sleep told me last November during their 15 year anniversary show that new music was on the horizon, I really didn’t believe it would be this soon! But sure enough, a few weeks ago, the band released their fourth album, Rain Museum, out into the world.
Read moreConcert Review: AWOLNATION
I can’t believe it’s been pre-pandemic since I’ve seen AWOLNATION live! Sure, I checked out their livestream show, but it’s just not the same.
Read moreTwo Door Cinema Club – Keep on Smiling, Album Review
First and foremost, Two Door Cinema Club will always hold a spot in my heart. As much as I love their music, their debut album always reminds me of the time my first grandparent passed away, and that album will always trigger that memory for me. With that being said, it’s still a great album, and I haven’t stopped listening to in the year since. That means I’ll always give their new stuff a chance, too!
Read moreHighly Suspect – Midnight Demon Club, Album Review
Highly Suspect is back! Not that they’ve been MIA for that long. Really, their third full-length album, MCID, only came out in 2019, but that pandemic has made that feel like a lifetime. It also doesn’t help that the band never got to fully tour on that album. All in all, that makes The Midnight Demon Club feel like a long time coming.
