Concert Review: Foxy Shazam
I listened to Foxy Shazam’s new album in the nick of time! Just kidding, I couldn’t make that release date come any sooner. I’m just glad it came before I got to see the band live again for the first time since before their hiatus (that’s a long time!).

First concert back of 2022, baby!
Read moreBook Review: We Sold Our Souls by Grady Hendrix
It’s official: Grady Hendrix has cemented himself as one of my favorite authors. With his 2018 novel, We Sold Our Souls, I think it’s pretty clear that he’s just never going to disappoint me. First he had me horror, and this time he adds in heavy metal!
Read moreConcert Review: The Aces
Full disclosure, I wasn’t super familiar with The Aces when I asked my friend if she wanted to go see them in concert Friday night. I had heard a few singles on Sirius XM and knew they’d gotten a fair amount of buzz in the past, but I never really explored them any further. But, when you’re tasked with some time off and no big trip planned, you make your own fun.
Read moreArctic Monkeys Royal Albert Hall – Live Album Review
Now that I’ve made it through all of Arctic Monkeys’ current catalog, I figured I should give more live performances a listen, since I can’t see them in person yet. Although I am getting my hopes up for next year since drummer Matt Helders recently confirmed that their seventh full length is on its way to being complete, and they just announced a couple of shows over in Europe slated for the end of the year!
Read moreFoster the People Livestream
It’s been approximately ten years since Foster the People’s debut album Torches was released, so in order to celebrate that milestone they played that album front to back and was kind enough to livestream it for all us losers who couldn’t attend in person. Bless.
Read moreConcert Review: Here Come the Mummies
Truthfully, seeing Here Come the Mummies again at the House of Blues near me was one of the concerts I was really looking forward to last year until COVID put life and live music on hold. Sure, their Halloween livestream was awesome, but I really wanted to be in the room with the band and feed off of their insane energy. Well, I just got that chance last night!
Read more2021 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony
This year, the annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony took place in Cleveland! I do believe this is the first time (at least in a very long time) that this has happened and who knows, maybe it will never happen again. All I knew was that with this particular class, I wanted to be in attendance.
Read moreConcert Review: Armor for Sleep
My middle school self continues to thrive this year! Just like Scary Kids Scaring Kids graced me with an anniversary tour last month, emo stalwarts, Armor for Sleep have followed suit. Now, the 15 year anniversary of their first major-label debut, What to Do When You Are Dead, was meant to happen last year but COVID had other plans. No worries! It worked out even better for me this year!
