Foo Fighters “Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace” This album has been one of my favorites from the Foo Fighters. Not only did it prove that the Foo Fighters are standing strong after so many years of great music, it proves that they can be versatile. Two of my favorite songs from them are “Long Road […]
Beautiful does not do justice for the work that Bon Iver has put into this short, yet emotionally moving album. Containing only four tracks, Blood Bank is an album that will definitely touch your soul. The first track, Blood Bank, contains a melody of the guitar and soft drumming in the background which adds a […]
On a cold, snowy, fall night in Mil-waukee, Wisconsin, the band Smashmouth played to a near-packed concert hall. Before they appeared, Milwaukee/ Madison funksters, Little Blue Crunchy Things, attempted to get a lethargic crowd moving with their incredibly fast-paced songs. The band came out dressed in full cowboy costume and glow-in-the-dark facepaint. They played their […]
The 1975 is a self-titled album by far my current favorite English indie rock band The 1975 which was released last September 2013 and still making its way on top charts. Every single track in the album has a different approach to music genres which makes it very unusual to other indie bands. This is […]
It’s a great feeling when the headline act is so good that the audience can block out the bad memories of the opening act. This was the situation with the sold-out Blur and Smashmouth show. Wearing their one-hit wonder title like a badge, Smashmouth played a 40-minute set that caused excruciating pain throughout most of […]
Throughout my high school experience, One Direction has always been present in my life.I’m embarrassed to say that I know way too much about those five british boys. About five years ago, Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson, and Liam Payne all auditioned for the TV show “The X Factor” as solo artists […]
If you’re like me at all, you’re an avid music fan who’s sick of mainstream rock, infested to the core of singers with whiny voices and sex-fueled lyrics. After a while, the message and the sounds, the beats and the bands, seem to get a little repetitive. The popular rock that invades the airwaves triggered […]
As the name suggests, if you like the pre-manufactured”bands” that control music today, don’t buy this CD. If you likeodd-sounding, bass-driven music that can range from twangy to thrash, this albummay be for you. Bassist/frontman Les Claypool’s style is one of themost ingenious I’ve ever heard. Guitarist Larry “Ler” LaLonde anddrummer Brian “Brain” Mantia are […]
The coming to be known band: The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, is fun and catchy. I love the overall sound, especially the multiple guitars in their music. Ronnie Winter, the lead vocalist, has a great voice and can really scream. Not only are their songs good for the music but the lyrics have different meanings. Their […]
The year, 1990; the month, August; the place, Seattle, Washington. The band formed by Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell, Alice in Chains, releases its debut album “Facelift,” quickly becoming one of music history’s greatest turning points. From that year on, the first year of the last decade of the twentieth century, Alice in Chains would […]
