It’s hard to believe this band has been around since 2009! I first heard of Mini Mansions a few years ago with a song off of their third full length album. Up until my recent obsession with The Last Shadow Puppets, I hadn’t really considered giving the rest of the band’s catalog much time. Obviously, that’s changed. Instead of starting with what I knew, I decided to start from the beginning with their self-titled debut album.

Concert 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 moreArctic Monkeys – AM Album Review
Alright, I’ve finally gotten to the Arctic Monkeys album that seemed to change the course of their career across the globe. Sure, they saw plenty of success in the U.K. with all of their previous records, but for whatever reason, AM is the one that seemed to resonate with the States the most. Now it’s my time to take a proper listen.
Read moreArctic Monkeys – Favourite Worst Nightmare
Back at it! Now that I’ve thoroughly listened to Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not, it’s time for me to move onto the Arctic Monkeys’ sophomore effort, Favourite Worst Nightmare. Although it’s a sophomore effort, there was certainly no slump here! In fact, it’s sort of mind-boggling that the band was able to release something so strong in just a little over a year after their debut record.

Man, Seether was not asleep at the wheel this past year. Already, they released a brand new album not even a year ago and just last week dropped a new EP titled Purgatory! I love seeing bands take advantage of a non-touring year!

I blame popular radio for never getting into the Arctic Monkeys back in the day. Given that their first and second records came out in my prime music discovery time (middle school), somehow these guys slipped under the radar and then I only ever heard “Do I Wanna Know?” and “Are You Mine?” on repeat in 2013. That was too much for me. But here I am, many, many years later and I’m finally giving them a fair shake. I’d say it’s largely due to the fact that I’m obsessed with The Last Shadow Puppets. Something else I might be obsessed with? Arctic Monkeys’ first record, Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not.

You know what? 2021 has been quite a great year for music! Yes, an extended period of time indoors probably allowed for max creativity for some, but I almost feel spoiled a little bit. Regardless, over the course of the last couple weeks some excellent singles have been released, and I’m going to tell you all about them!
