ICYMI – June 7, 2015

“Hit Like A Girl” Premiered This Week I’m in love with this idea. The “Hit Like A Girl” contest is meant to inspire female drummers who work their asses off and continue to banish certain ideals about girls in bands, and it’s an all around awesome cause. In our scene, we obviously all know the lovely Jess Bowen as our go-to female drummer. She’s majorly involved with this project, and in the new mini-documentary they released you get to see her involvement with an amazing cause and contest. Oh, and in case you needed another push to watch, Beyonce’s drummer,… Read more »

ICYMI – May 31, 2015

Twenty One Pilots Debuted At Number One And My Heart Is Soaring Last week Twenty One Pilots released their second full-length album, Blurryface, which I have not stopped listening to, and they also became the second band from our scene this year to have a number one album (debuting as number one on Billboard).

And, he did one better by adding William Beckett to the tour, so basically, it’s my 2008 dream coming true. I don’t think I need to remind everyone how perfect he is. To add to the extreme amounts of joy we already feel, William Beckett… Read more »

Thursday Ten: A Not-So-Traditional Christmas

When you’re trapped in the hellish nightmare of a busy mall in December, it’s not unusual for the tinny sound of Christmas music to make you wish you would get trampled to death by a thousand frantic shoppers just to put an end to your suffering. Thankfully, hearing your favorite bands cover the same songs has the opposite effect.

Tuesday Ten: Musician Mugshots

While Lil Wayne has, to the best of my knowledge, spent around 70% of his career so far behind bars, you don’t need to share his level of passion for drugs and weapon possession to end up in an orange jumpsuit. In this week’s Tuesday Ten, we look at some of the other crimes that have landed musicians behind the ever-so-flattering lens of the mugshot camera.

Tuesday Ten: Coolest Song Endings

It’s easy to close a song by repeating the chorus or slowly fading the music out, but every once in a while a song comes along whose ending takes you somewhere completely unexpected.
