Energy in the Brixton Academy was incredibly high for the second of two sold out nights for the band from North Wales. As their first major tour since forming back in 2007, these are the biggest headlining shows they have played to date. With their debut album, The Balcony, released 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

Review: One Direction ‘Four’
Never trust an album’s first single. When “Steal My Girl” dropped a few weeks ago as Four’s first single, I wasn’t too stoked on it. It was another pop-rock song with a heartfelt message that quickly slithered into the hearts of millions, but it wasn’t the “new” One Direction sound Continue Reading
Review: Nick Jonas ‘Nick Jonas’
As a disclosure, it would only be fair for you to know that this review was written with a slight amount of bias. I still own my t-shirt from the Jonas Brothers’ 2007 tour and I still dream about little Nicky J in his green Converse and painfully tight skinny Continue Reading
Review: Taylor Swift ‘1989’
I pressed play with an extreme amount of skepticism. When Taylor Swift announced that she would be completely dropping her cowboy boots and country twang for sparkly crop tops and backup dancers, I was very intrigued, but curious to see on if this new transition was going to be a Continue Reading
