Live Review: BABYMETAL // Detroit 5.11.2016
6 p.m. May 11th at The Fillmore Detroit. A line stretching four city blocks is snaking its way through The Motor City and it’s steadily growing. Fans ranging from a 6 year old girl with her parents, dressed in her absolute best “kawaii” (cute) outfit, to grown men and women Continue Reading
Live Review: PVRIS @ The Forum (04/07/16)
PVRIS has had quite the year so far. Once finishing up their tour with Fall Out Boy and AWOLNATION, they wasted no time jumping over the pond for their headlining European tour. Playing sold out venues that hold a couple thousand individuals every night, it is clear that the expectations Continue Reading
Live Review: ZIBRA @ Electric Brixton (02/18/2016)
In honor of the upcoming awards show, the BRITS gave Londoners a little treat with an exclusive, intimate show with ZIBRA, Sundara Karma, and Bring Me The Horizon. Jam-packed in the Electric Brixton on a Thursday night, it became apparent that the opening band, ZIBRA, was at a slight disadvantage 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
Live Review: Daughter @ The O2 Forum Kentish Town (01/28/2016)
Every time Daughter comes through London, they always manage to make it quite the event. Having released their latest album, Not To Disappear, less than two weeks before their sold out show at The O2 Forum Kentish Town, everyone lucky enough to score a ticket was in for a special Continue Reading
Live Review: Catfish and The Bottlemen Concert (11/7/2015)
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
