Look, I’ll preface this review by saying that I do not listen to Pearl Jam that much or really like too many of their songs. In general, I find their songs slow, and Eddie Vedder’s voice is a garbled mess. BUT, with that being said, I do like some of their songs, but it’s few and far between. Everything has to be just about perfect for me to listen to it more than once.

Fan Art Friday: Bad Suns
Recently, I’ve been on a real big Bad Suns kick, and they’ve been putting out a few new tracks! Can’t complain about that! Enjoy this old drawing I was able to gift the band a few years back.
Read moreNew Music Review: Joywave
There’s always a part of me that likes to just go and listen to the same old stuff that I’ve been listening to for the past fifteen years, but then there’s a part of me that wants to find new music. While Joywave is not a band that has just entered my life, I have waited a few weeks too many to listen to their latest outing, Possession. Let me tell you, this record rules! Unlike a few of the last albums I’ve listened to, this one slapped all the way through, and that is quite the accomplishment!
Read moreAlbum Review: AWOLNATION, Angel Miners & the Lightening Riders
Don’t you just love new music? I sure do. And I was beyond pumped to finally have AWOLNATION’s latest record grace my ears this weekend. It’s been a surprisingly quick two years since their last effort, so back when they released their first single, “The Best,” I became increasingly excited for the full-length.
Read moreFan Art Friday: Bastille
I want new music. Specifically, I want it from Bastille. Truthfully, their last full length was mildly disappointing, but that didn’t stop me from shoving myself to the front row last time I saw them live. I still love them, and they still sound amazing. Sure, they’ve been fairly active on social media during this time of quarantine, but I want MORE! Here’s hoping, and in the meantime here’s the first drawing I ever did of them back in 2013 (I believe).
Read moreAlbum Review: Louis Tomlinson – Walls
As I mentioned in my Fan Art Friday post from yesterday, I was getting ready to draw and with that I was going to listen to Louis Tomlinson’s debut album, Walls. As a die-hard Directioner, I was excited, but also nervous to listen to this, because I truthfully haven’t given their solo efforts much attention. I love the One Direction sound so much, that I just sort of live in that musical bubble.
Read moreAlbum Review: Silverstein, A Beautiful Place to Drown
I don’t know if I’m just not paying that much attention, but it seems like post-hardcore’s stalwarts, Silverstein, just keep cranking out albums at an insane pace. It didn’t feel like that long ago I was at Warped Tour having the band sign my copy of their latest release, Dead Reflection…but apparently, it’s been three years! Anyways, as I was finishing up a drawing, I popped in their latest effort, A Beautiful Place to Drown.
Read moreMusic Review: The White Reaper Catalog
Even though I’ve been a fan of White Reaper for a few years, I still hadn’t presented myself with the opportunity to listen to their third full length, You Deserve Love, that came out this past October. What better time than a quarantine?! That, coupled with a lot of drawing at my kitchen table, means that I actually listened to their entire discography again all the way through. Totally worth it.

In honor of the new album released by Phantogram today, Ceremony, here is a drawing I was able to gift the band during a tour for their last album! It was an amazing experience!
