Inhaler – It Won’t Always Be Like This, Album Review

November 23, 2022November 23, 2022admin

Well, nothing like listening to an album almost a year and a half after it was initially released. Time is a black hole and it definitely hasn’t felt like that much time has passed. In any case, I’m finally listening to Inhaler’s debut album, It Won’t Always Be Like This a mere four months before their sophomore effort hits the shelves.

November 17, 2022November 17, 2022admin

I think this might be the longest stretch of time Phoenix has gone without releasing a new record. It’s been almost six years since there last full-length effort, but now, after all that time, we finally get Alpha Zulu!

It’s always quite a shock when a band announces they are going to drop two full-length album in the same year.

You get a part 2 this week because I get to see AFI live and in person TONIGHT! I am so excited. It’s probably been a good four or five years since I saw them last, and you bet I’ll be trying to work my way to the front.

Well, it’s finally here. New Arctic Monkeys! It’s been about five years since their last full-length album, so now we have The Car. Admittedly, the singles left me feeling a little slighted, but I’ve come around a bit!

Armor for Sleep – Rain Museum, Album Review

October 30, 2022October 30, 2022admin
