In case there is any question as to whose concert this was, it was Fall Out Boy. Clearly a play on their recently released album, So Much (for) Stardust. I believe this marks the fifth or sixth time I’ve seen these guys, so did my sister and I really need to get tickets to go? No. But when the prices drop so low on resale, well, then we had to!

New Music – Singles Edition!
There have been so many new songs released over the past few weeks and I have been seriously slacking on checking them out. Thus, you get a bunch all at once. Go check these out for yourselves!
Read moreThe Pink Spiders – FREAKAZOID!, Album Review
I have had The Pink Spiders on rotation in my life since Teenage Graffiti came out, but this is the first time I’ve returned to new music from them in earnest. I know there was a bit of a rocky history as far as permanent members went beyond lead singer Matt Friction, so I’d say that’s the reason I never quite stayed current with them.
Read moreThe Popular MonsTOUR – Concert Review
I am really slipping here. Just a day after the 4th celebrations were over, my sister and I headed up a VERY big hill to catch the Popular MonsTOUR at Pittsburgh University. That means we got a lot of action thanks to the headliner that was Falling in Reverse.
Read moreConcert Review: Emery – Songs and Stories
Emery is a band that I have been listening to since I was in middle school, and at this point I don’t even think I could begin to tell you how many times I’ve seen them in concert. There have been some memorable times, and the Songs and Stories type tour that they do from time to time is at the top of the list.

New stuff! Not necessarily complicated stuff, but still. This band has the most fun logos! I’ve got a review of their latest album, In Times New Roman…, incoming soon, so be on the lookout. Anyways, here’s some cool mixed media stuff I did in honor of it.
Read moreQueens of the Stone Age – In Times New Roman…, Album Review
How are we getting so lucky with so much good new music?! The rare gifts of the pandemic are still plenty it seems, and I’m not complaining. It’s been six years since Queens of the Stone Age have released new music, but they sure managed to deliver with In Times New Roman…
Read moreAvenged Sevenfold – Life Is but a Dream…, Album Review
Even though I’ve seen this well-regarded metal band live twice in my life, I think this is the first album of theirs that I’ve actually listened to in full. In fact, the last full length album they released was seven years ago – I didn’t even have a blog then! But Avenged Sevenfold is back with Life Is but a Dream… and I gave it my full attention with zero expectations.
Read moreFoo Fighters – But Here We Are, Album Review
Even though I just saw the Foo Fighters a few weeks ago, I couldn’t bring myself to immediately listen to their latest record, But Here We Are, coming just slightly over a year after the passing of the band’s longtime drummer, Taylor Hawkins. Then I learned that Dave Grohl’s mother passed a month after Taylor and I knew I was going to be in for a gut-punch of a record.
Read moreThe Used – Toxic Positivity, Album Review
All hail to the emo band from my youth! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen The Used over the years, but several of their records remain my favorites to this day. With that being said, a lot of their newer material hadn’t really made it into my radar until their latest, Toxic Positivity, was announced.
