I’m not even going to snark about the title of The 1975’s sophomore album. Yes, it’s obnoxiously wordy, but it came from a place of tenderness and was chosen by frontman Matty Healy in a moment of conviction – isn’t that what you want from a band? The 1975 combines Continue Reading

Live Review: State Champs & Neck Deep @ The O2 Forum (02/06/2016)
Since its introduction, the underdog of the music world has always been pop punk. Overlooked by mainstream media since the early 2000s, pop punk pioneers like New Found Glory, who introduced the genre to the masses in the early 90s, have all, but disappeared from mainstream music. This steady decline of Continue Reading
Live Review: Citizen @ The Dome Tufnell Park (01/30/2016)
As a band that only tours in the UK every so often, not nearly as frequently as they do in the states, it was very clear that Citizen’s sold out show at London’s The Dome Tufnell Park was going to be a special one for fans. With the line nearly Continue Reading

Review: One Direction ‘Made in the A.M.’
We’ve watched them grow up over the years and listened to their sound evolve from sugary radio pop to having a more indie-folk influence. As the fifth album to be released from the UK boy band, Made in the A.M. is their most mature sound yet. Refraining from the over Continue Reading
Review: Little Mix ‘Get Weird’
There is a lot riding on this upcoming album from the UK girlband Little Mix. After their sophomore album, Salute, did well in the United Kingdom, but failed to draw in American audiences and those alike, it is evident in the reinvented sound displayed on Get Weird that the Little Continue Reading
Single Review: The 1975 “Love Me”
Filled with skepticism and doubt, the news of The 1975’s return would have received a far different reaction from me a year ago. Hot off the success of their self-titled album, I was as into the pop band as everyone else. However, the two year process it took for them Continue Reading
