Review: The News - Paramore

Album: This Is Why (releasing February 10th) Artist: Paramore Genres: #PopPunk Sub-Genres: #AltRock #Rock Description: This song brings some notable hints of the angst Paramore was once famously known for in their iconic album Riot.

On July 2nd, I had the chance to see My Morning Jacket perform at Northerly Island in Chicago, touring their new self-titled album which was released in Fall of '21. To provide some context, Northerly Island is a popular outdoor concert venue just East of downtown Chicago on a man-made island in Lake Michigan. The island features an enormous outdoor amphitheater that has a pit, ground level seating, and bleacher seats toward the back and sides. I was watching from the ground

REVIEW: Ain't It Nice—Mal Blum 4/15/22

Album: Ain’t It Nice Artist: Mal Blum Genre: #Alternate #Indie #Country Sub-Genres: #AntiFolk #Rock #FolkPunk #Americana Label: Terrorbird Ain’t It Nice is Blum’s blend of indie and Americana, taking on this air of instant nostalgia and warmth. I love how I could naturally feel any song on this album playing distantly in the background of a radio. This album in particular stands out, as knowing Blum’s voice has dropped lower since his last release, gives such a tender quality

Florence + The Machine is King - F+TM Single Review

Single: King Artist: Florence + The Machine Genre: #alternative #indie #pop Sub-Genres: #indiepop #rock Label: Universal Music Operations Limited Description: King by Florence + The Machine is a strong 4-minute, 40-second powerfully delivered declaration of gender expression and concerns the far too familiar discussion of career and family.

'Nothing but Ringo' - Helvetia

Album: Nothing but Ringo Artist: Helvetia Genre: #alt #indie #rock Sub-Genres: #artrock #indierock #experimental Label: Jason Albertini Description: Formed in 2005, the group Helvetia is quite recognizably the product of Jason Albertini leaving similar slowcore band Duster. This EP was recorded on an iPhone and then recorded onto cassette, leaving a submerged and foggy DIY-esque audio experience that is honestly fitting for the experimental genre.

Emerging local Tucson band, Miramont!

Single: Chock Artist: Miramont Genre: #alt #rock Sub-Genres: #psych Description: Upon my first listen, this song really grabbed my attention. The song begins with the drums and then enters the guitar, then really strong vocals. Toward the middle, there is a sick guitar riff that evokes psychedelic rock vibes. Their catchy lyrics make this a great listen and extremely relatable. The vocals are very strong and mesh extremely well with the melody. Their music reminds me of old
