We felt everything in between when we uncovered these songs from over the last few decades, and sincerely hope they stir up anything of the sort for you while listening!” Read more: The Maine Announces… Read more »

However, across their discography, they have a sound that appeals to everyone, whether you prefer soft indie or are a certified metalhead. (They just performed at Better Lovers‘ BLissmas alongside… Read more »

Frontwoman Michelle Zauner (formerly of the emo outfit Little Big League) shares, “‘Orlando in Love’ is made up of a hodgepodge of odd references. The title comes from an epic poem by Matteo Maria Boiardo called Orlando Innamorato, which ends abruptly at 68.5 cantos because Italy was invaded by French troops, and that’s as far as he got before… Read more »
