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
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: 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
Single Review: Taylor Swift “Shake It Off”
Well, it will definitely be a hit. As the first single off of Taylor Swift’s first ever pop album, “Shake It Off” has all of the qualities for a big summer hit – it’s fun, it’s catchy and the obnoxious hook and chorus are going to be stuck in your Continue Reading
Single Review: Lights ‘Up We Go’
Well, it’s been a long time coming. Nearly three years since her latest release, Siberia, Lights is finally back and ready to seize the techno-pop throne once again (surely with a sword or two at the ready). After taking some time off from her busy tour life to be with Continue Reading
Gimmie Summer Ya Love | tour stop, Pittsburgh, PA.
All Time Low’s tour schedule is exhausting. Seriously. This year has been exceptionally busy: earlier this year, they were over in the UK for a tour, then, back to the US on the Dirty Work tour, then, in June, they released “Dirty Work”, and after that, they came back for Continue Reading
