Riot Fest 2021
Early Friday morning I boarded a plane headed to Chicago for the first time in my life, in the middle of a pandemic (still), to attend Riot Fest! To say I was both nervous and excited is an understatement.
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.

All the new music! A lot of my favorite bands keep surprising me with new music this year and I am not here to complain about it! In fact, give me all the new music! I’ll take it! Anyways, let’s check out this fun mix of new singles.
Read moreSeether – Purgatory EP Review
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!
Read moreArctic Monkeys – Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not
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.

I know a couple months ago I told you all about Death From Above 1979’s newest single, “One + One,” but evidently I didn’t think to look any further into new music from this group. I’m a fool! It’s been out for two month’s now! To make up for it, I ordered some merch along with the album. Now, let’s get down to reviewing Is 4 Lovers.
Read moreRoyal Blood – Typhoons Album Review
It’s been many years in the making now, and months of singles, but 100 percent worth the wait! As I anticipated, Royal Blood’s new album Typhoons is a banger from beginning to end, and I’m about to walk you through my thoughts on all of it!
Read moreSaturday Singles
That’s right, there are even more singles being released by bands that I’ve now determined are tormenting me by making me wait for their new albums, but also satiating me with new music. That’s right, Royal Blood and AFI have both dropped two new singles a piece off their upcoming albums, Typhoons and Bodies, respectively.
Read moreAlbum Review: Machine Gun Kelly – Tickets to My Downfall
Admittedly, even though Machine Gun Kelly is from my neck of the woods, I’ve never really given his music much of a chance in the past. A large part of that has to do with the fact that he’s primarily a rapper, which just isn’t really my cup of tea. Yes, I’ve seen him at rock and emo shows, both as a fan and as a performer, but I just attributed that to the fact that he was local. Turns out, he can make some really good emo and punk music! Let his new album, Tickets to My Downfall, put all your fears to rest.
