It goes without saying that 2015 is going to be a massive year for music, but in between the obvious contenders for our most anticipated releases, there’s also a slew of up-and-coming talent that we’re keeping our eyes glued to this year.
Twenty One Pilots have posted their new music video for “Ode To Sleep.” The video documents the band’s rise to success and features footage from one of their first shows as well as the biggest performance of their career in 2014.
2014 was a wonderful year for music, but it was also a wonderful year for forgetting that it was 2014. With so many of this year’s releases wearing their nostalgia for musical eras past on their sleeves, it seemed easier than ever to pick up a record that immediately whisked you back to the decade of your choosing despite being less than twelve months old.

In this week’s Tuesday Ten, we’re exploring some of our writers’ favorite b-sides.
People were taking pictures at shows for years before someone at Oxford decided it’d be a good idea to add the word “selfie†to the dictionary, but the advent of the smartphone has made it more popular than ever. Even our writers have a few show selfies tucked away on their hard drives, and we’re sharing some of our favorites with you in this week’s Tuesday Ten.
