Piercing screams erupted from the mass of people crowding the JetBlue stage as Twenty One Pilots‘ banner was raised. Signs reading “Thank You |-/” and “We get it. Not everyone will.” lined the barricade. This was my second time at Boston Calling, and my third time seeing Twenty One Pilots live; however, it was my first time experiencing them in […]
Hello, friends! Here I am, four-ish months since my last Twenty One Pilots concert review, and I am still completely obsessed. I went to see them live at the House of Blues on Thursday, and without fail, the show was sold out. For good reason, too. The house opened with Hunter Hunted and NONONO, who […]
You may recognize this artist from his single a few years back, “A Drop in the Ocean”, which has over 30 million hits on YouTube. But I assure you he’s more than just that single. Ron Pope kicked off 2014 with his ninth studio album entitled Calling Off the Dogs. Once again, Pope enthralls his listeners […]
If you’re looking for an uplifting, positive-spirited song, you have found the right place, for I have not been able to stop listening to this song (or the album) for the past three weeks. Eli “Paperboy” Reed is an American soul and R&B singer from our very own Beantown. This particular song was released in […]
If jazz is your thing, then I have just the album for you. If jazz isn’t your thing, I still have just the album for you. Regardless of whether you listen to blues, Americana, folk, and/or jazz music, I have just the album for you. Ben Flocks, a Brooklyn-based saxophonist from Santa Cruz, dropped his […]
Conner Youngblood, a young multi-instrumentalist from Dallas, TX, strikes his listeners in a way that is seemingly indescribable. Bloggers love him, but somehow this indie experimentalist stays on the DL. With the release of his new EP, Make Me Faster…, his popularity will be on the rise this year. His music is similar to that of […]
Yes, this is a Christmas song, but that shouldn’t deter you! I’m not a big fan of Christmas music, and frankly, I don’t understand why my next door neighbor thought it was okay to blast Christmas music every single day starting November 1st. Believe it or not, it has made me bitter. But, do not […]
It is nearing winter break, and those who are going to be traveling home over the next week (if you haven’t gone home already) will need some music to help you along your journey. I have one song here that will do just the trick. It’s called “Elevate” by St. Lucia, a one-man band (the picture […]
When everyone said that the Twenty One Pilots show was sold out, I definitely underestimated the number of people that would eventually crowd into the Paradise Rock Club this past Tuesday, December 2nd. The sardine analogy would be an understatement. Doors opened at 7:02 sharp and the opening bands took the stage soon after. Sirah, the first opener, […]
The weather is starting to get colder, the snow is already here, and the sun seems to have disappeared altogether. If you’re like me and get a bit sad this time of year, I have a song for you. It’s called “Lies” by Marina & The Diamonds. I found this song as I was traveling […]
