EP Review: Frank Iero and the Patience – Keep The Coffins Coming

September 21, 2017

In what’s meant to be the missing link between “Stomachaches” and “Parachutes”, Frank Iero and the Patience is back with another fiery, punked-up EP: “Keep The Coffins Coming”, which comes out Friday, September 22. “Keep The Coffins Coming” is the exact midpoint between the two albums: not quite as ragged as “Parachutes,” but less polished than … More EP Review: Frank Iero and the Patience – Keep The Coffins Coming

Album Review: Somehow – Hidden Memories

September 17, 2017

Somehow’s latest album, “Hidden Memories”, is exactly what you’d expect of a French indie pop artist. It’s quirky, moody, and colorfully vibrant, and both vocalists have just a hint of an accent. “Hidden Memories” is radiant, romantic, and melancholy all at the same time. It’s a quirky lo-fi sound that oscillates between dreamy and edgy, with … More Album Review: Somehow – Hidden Memories

EP Review: Stray Weather – Ever Endeavour

September 14, 2017

You may remember Stray Weather from our previous review of their first spoken-word EP, but the band has come a long way from its original hip-hop sound with its “Ever Endeavour” EP, out on September 15. Just like before, Mikey Brown’s attention-grabbing lyrics capture intrigue and refuse to let it go. His thick accent doesn’t … More EP Review: Stray Weather – Ever Endeavour

Live Music Review: Phangs & More (+ photos!)

September 10, 2017

As I’m sure many (if not most) music fans will agree, five-band sets can be painful. The set-up time in between sets combined with the sheer amount of time spent standing in a venue is exhausting. However, the Phangs show was worth the wait. Click here for more photos! Fashion Week played an acoustic set … More Live Music Review: Phangs & More (+ photos!)

EP Review: osi – FICKLE

September 7, 2017

The epitome of lo-fi, osi‘s “FICKLE” was the first of the bedroom-pop artist’s three EPs to date. Coming out in rapid succession over the course of two months this summer, “FICKLE” was closely followed by two two-song EPs, but its five grainy tracks remain my favorites of her discography. If anything had the ability to be … More EP Review: osi – FICKLE

Album Review: Ledges – Homecoming

August 31, 2017

Built on an alternative/indie sound with a little ’80s pop thrown into the mix, Ledges‘ debut record, “Homecoming” comes out on Friday, September 1. It’s a story full of lovestruck teens and angst, following a character through “doubt, love, loss, and redemption.” At times gritty and others smooth, the album is broad and soaring, moving with … More Album Review: Ledges – Homecoming

Album Review: Soft Fangs – Fractures

August 27, 2017

True to its name, “Fractures”, the new Soft Fangs album, is composed of shards of life. John Lutkevich, the man behind the dark pop project, says that it’s “varying in concept is precisely the concept,” that each song is a new fracture of his life or other peoples’ lives. The album begins with velvet-husky tones, and … More Album Review: Soft Fangs – Fractures

Interview: First Responder + Trying

August 24, 2017

At the beginning of the month, Columbus said goodbye to two powerful forces in the Ohio State musician community. Sierra Mollenkopf, who started First Responder, moved to New York City for a graduate program at NYU, and joining her is Cameron Carr, the man behind the band Trying. Although the duo will certainly be busy … More Interview: First Responder + Trying

EP Review: Broken Bellows – The Card Table

August 20, 2017

I’m definitely not Warped Tour’s biggest fan, but I’ll be the first to admit that alt-pop duo Broken Bellows was a positive result of Warped 2016. Written by Cory Brent and Will Prinzi – formerly of Reckless Serenade – during downtime on the road, the band’s “The Card Table” EP serves as a strong introduction … More EP Review: Broken Bellows – The Card Table

Album Review: Melville – The New Zero

August 17, 2017

Every album runs the risk of being too generic for its genre – in indie rock, for example, sounding like a carbon copy of The Talking Heads. It’s a fine line, and many bands succumb to techniques that wind up making them sound like a stereotype of what they’re trying to be. Melville’s new album, … More Album Review: Melville – The New Zero
