Twenty One Pilots “Breach” Tour
During the months of September and October 2025, I made my way to areas of the country I've never even thought of in order to catch a few stops of Twenty One Pilots' Breach tour. If you know me, you know I've spent the past 10 years traveling up, down, and around to see this band perform because one show of any Twenty One Pilots tour is just not enough. The visual production never ceases to amaze - animations dancing throughout amphitheater screens and lighting cues timed

let's talk about the band Lookers!

Tracks like “Animal” and “Bury You Under” are especially resemblant of The Breeders, with sturdy and expressive talk-singing, sticky textures, and atmospheric distortion that focus you in on each song’s driving heartbeats. “Alone” ushers in a different tone, with jangly instrumentation and light, airy melodies that allow lead vocalist Muggs Fogart
NEW COLOSSUS RECAP
GALLERY, WORDS, AND PLAYLIST BY MADDIE BARKOCY New Colossus 2025 took place from March 4-9 in NYC across 12 Lower East Side venues and featured nearly 200 artists. During those six days, I was the closest I’ll ever be to being in multiple places at one time. I managed to hop between seven venues, listen to sets by 49 artists, and drink more frozen margarita/deli coffee power combos than were ever intended for consumption. And somehow I’m still having severe FOMO over the set
Get Off My Phone by The Driver Era
Typically coined as an alt-pop duo, The Driver Era’s first offering of the new year “Get Off My Phone” is certainly a call out to the band’s ability to find that perfectly interesting balance of alternative and pop through the use of personal lyricism, gritty vocals, and a chorus that bounces with energy. The track’s introduction is steady and serene with smooth isolated vocals accompanied by simple, rhythmic guitar chords. Traction is soon swiftly gained as the song begins t

Blondshell (Deluxe Edition)
Earlier this year, I was listening to my discover weekly on Spotify when I first heard the song “Kiss City.” I was absolutely rattled and in pure awe and could not remember the last time that I was this gobsmacked by a song. This was the best first impression that Blondshell could have ever given me. Blondshell (Sabrina Teitelbaum) released her self-titled debut album on April 7th which skyrocketed to world-wide critical acclaim in no time. On October 6th, we were given the a
