In a departure from their usual style and crafting a rendition sans Mayday Parade’s Derek Sanders, the group tackled their immensely popular track, “Feel Something.” As observers in the studio, we couldn’t help but be swept away… Read more »
Standing the test of time, Ahsoka has many parallels to emo music, both needing to constantly adapt throughout the decades to survive and thrive. Propelling the titular character to a project that is fully her story, this is her jump from club tours to arena tours.
