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.
Read moreCage the Elephant – Neon Pill, Album Review
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: I Don’t Know How But They Found Me
It’s been a hot minute since I last saw IDKHOW live (think February 2020), so I was excited at the prospect to see the band again. Though now ultimately just a solo project, Dallon Weekes is every bit the talent needed to succeed, and he certainly does so!

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!
Read moreMGMT – Loss of Life, Album Review
I had no clue I was going to get so many new albums this early in the year! In fact, MGMT stayed pretty darn quiet about. It’s also crazy when I think about how long it’s been since Little Dark Age was released. But now, we have been given Loss of Life on their new label, Mom + Pop!

Given that I was in another country last weekend, I did not have the opportunity to immediately listen to I Don’t Know How But They Found Me’s newest album, Gloom Division. And this is an album I was pretty excited about!

I tried my best with that. Anyway, an extra day off means I packed in some more movies!
Read moreBad Suns – Infinite Joy EP Review
I suppose it has been almost exactly two whole years since the release of Bad Suns’ last full length record, Apocalypse Whenever, but to me it’s felt like no time at all! One could also see the desire to make new music now that they are just a three-piece. I don’t believe there was any bad blood with Ray Libby’s departure, but I’m sure there was a desire to see what they could create in this new form.
