After seeing Ghost a little over a month ago (WHAT?!), I felt inspired to draw the dynamic leader of the band in all his glory. Enjoy!
Fan Art Friday: Ghost
New Music
Austin City Limits 2022
I know what you’re thinking. Another music festival?! What can I say, I love ’em.
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 moreConcert Review: The Killers
Funny story about this concert. Back in July of 2021 I saw that tickets were going on sale for The Killers tour in October. My friend and I jumped on these tickets, and when I went to go put it in my calendar I thought, “ha, they got the day of the week wrong.” Nope. I just can’t read and bought a concert ticket over a year in advance. So here we are now, in October of 2022, and I have finally seen The Killers again for the first time in six years.
Read morePanic! at the Disco – Viva Las Vengeance Album Review
After listening to the three singles dropped as the lead up to the now solo act of Panic! at the Disco’s Viva Las Vengeance, I went in with really low expectations. Usually I end up pleasantly surprised, but in this case, it was exactly what I was expecting…sadly. Now that I look back at the “band’s” discography, ever since Brendon Urie took this up as a solo project, I haven’t really been a fan. It took a turn too sharp in the pop direction, and while artists are supposed to grow and change, this just became too generic and uncreative.
Read moreConcert Review: Highly Suspect
It’s felt like a lifetime since I’ve seen Highly Suspect live! What a crime! Back in 2019 they released their third full-length, MCID, which was so, so good. My sister and I were supposed to catch them on tour in April of 2020, but you guessed it, the pandemic ruined that chance. Since then, the band has been hard at work on their next record, the recently released Midnight Demon Club.
Read moreBlaqk Audio – Trop d’Amour Album Review
It’s been over a year in the making, but I will finally get to see AFI live again later this fall, but in the meantime, Jade Puget and Davey Havok’s side project, Blaqk Audio, have put out a new album and I’m here for it! It doesn’t seem like any time at all has passed since their 2020 release, Beneath the Black Palms, but that’s what a pandemic will do to time I guess. Now we’ve been treated to Trop d’Amour!
Read moreDon Broco – Automatic Album Review
I’ve got to say I’m glad I let Don Broco’s sophomore album, Automatic, marinate for a while before reviewing it. Despite what you may think, I actually found it really pleasant to listen to the first time around, but it just felt so jarringly different from their latest two efforts that it almost didn’t feel like I was listening to Don Broco at all.
Read moreFan Art Friday: Wallows
Look, I had every intention of getting this drawing done before I saw Wallows perform back in May, but here we are in the middle of September. Oh, well! At least it’s done before I get to see them again next month at Austin City Limits!
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.
